"When I’m browsing a path on a slow-ass NFS connection, it slows down my typing to a crawl while it does a network roundtrip ls’ing the directory every damn time I press a key."
Huh?
- pyre 16y agoI think that he's complaining that the directory listing is hit up on every keypress, probably in an attempt to populate an auto-complete list.
- buster 16y agoMy guess is that it lists the directory everytime to underline correct paths (as he explains later) instead of listing a directory after each / and remembering the files and directories in it.
