[PyQt] Feature request: support for flashing characters in QTextEdit

[Edward K. Ream]

This is a repost of
'[PyQt] Can't disable key strokes while flashing matching
brackets'<http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/pyqt/2009-January/021697.html>
recast as a feature request.

I have found no good way for my app to flash matching brackets in a
QTextEdit.  The problem is that keystrokes that occur during flashing can
replace the character being 'flashed', i.e., selected briefly.

I have tried the obvious things like disabling key events, etc., without any
joy.

Nobody has responded to my requests for sample code illustrating how this
might be done.

Some widget-level support for this kind of thing would be greatly
appreciated.  This is the only thing I have found that Tk can handle better
than Qt :-)

Thanks!

Edward
