So, I used batcat to syntax highlight a file in the terminal. After I close it through Ctrl + C, my cursor stops blinking and I cant see the text I type in my terminal.

    Killing batcat prevents it resetting the default terminal state, which it changes so it can do the fancy formatting. Just run the command reset in the terminal (it should work even if you can't see it being typed). [You probably don't want to be in Kali if you are not familiar with basic commands like this.] Commented Mar 26, 2023 at 10:28

    Contact batcat's developers, ask them to gracefully handle Ctrl+C. Commented Mar 27, 2023 at 7:34

By using the reset command as @Paul_Pedant said, the terminal will get reset and the "blink" will be restored.
