Yes, it is mainly for vi, and I don't like setting the screen to flash (yuck!). The hardware is a few bucks and not hard to do, but I really hate to add hardware to solve a seemingly simple software problem. If it is this involved, well, then the few bucks and a bit of silicon adhesive is the better route.
