There's a cool blog post by the JetBrains guy about text editor latency: https://pavelfatin.com/typing-with-pleasure/ https://pavelfatin.com/typing-with-pleasure/
He implemented a zero latency mode which bypasses many layers in the rendering stack, which apparently makes IntelliJ one of the fastest text editors.
- naikrovek 9y ago"The JetBrains guy" ... That's just one guy?
- lima 9y agoHah, that's what you get for rephrasing comments. It used to say "the JetBrains guy who added zero latency mode".
- enkiv2 9y agoHaving used IntelliJ -- well, it's faster than a lot of other IDEs, but "one of the fastest text editors"? Maybe vim is spoiling me but everything that runs outside of a terminal feels glacial to me.
- lima 9y agoYes, as stated in the blog article, the optimizations they made put it in the same ballpark than Vim. It's probably faster than Vim if you're using a slow terminal emulator.
