TL;DR of very good while long ;) article:
Use a responsive editor (makes the most difference).
* Use a low-latency keyboard, if possible.
* Choose programs that add global keyboard hooks wisely.
* Turn off unnecessary “image enhancers” in you monitor.
* Enable stacking window manager in your OS (e.g. in Windows 7, 8).

- tomtheengineer 9y agoLooks like it: > So today, after almost 6 months of extensive testing, we are enabling zero latency typing as the default setting in all IntelliJ-based IDEs, including CLion. https://blog.jetbrains.com/clion/2017/01/clion-starts-2017-1-eap/#zero_latency https://blog.jetbrains.com/clion/2017/01/clion-starts-2017-1...
- mcguire 9y agoNote: those are the worst-case timings, power-saving mode in a VirtualBox. IDEA without the zero-latency mod is 198.8.
