continuous_sync makes :global command really slow #121
Description
When trying to execute a :g (:global) command with continuous_sync enabled this makes the command noticeable slower.
How to reproduce this:
Enable continuous_sync, open a random file and try a global command.
Example of this would be :g/^$/d to remove all empty lines in a file (a file with 20-30 empty lines already has a noticeable delay on my machine).
Toggle the continuous sync on and off to see the difference in speed.
Minimal config to test this:
local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"
if not (vim.uv or vim.loop).fs_stat(lazypath) then
vim.fn.system({
"git",
"clone",
"--filter=blob:none",
"https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git",
"--branch=stable", -- latest stable release
lazypath,
})
end
vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)
-- Example using a list of specs with the default options
vim.g.mapleader = " " -- Make sure to set `mapleader` before lazy so your mappings are correct
vim.g.maplocalleader = "\\" -- Same for `maplocalleader`
require("lazy").setup({
{
"AckslD/nvim-neoclip.lua",
dependencies = {
{ "kkharji/sqlite.lua", module = "sqlite" },
{ "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim" },
},
config = function()
require("neoclip").setup({
enable_persistent_history = true,
-- set to false to have fast global commands again
continuous_sync = true,
db_path = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/neoclip/neoclip.sqlite3",
})
end,
lazy = false,
},
})
Not sure if this would be an easy fix, but I have a workaround:
Only push the database on focus lost:
autocmd("FocusLost", {
group = augroup("NeoClipFocus", {}),
pattern = "*",
callback = function()
require("neoclip").db_push()
end,
})
FocusGained does not work when using autoread, so I sync whenever I trigger the telescope menu:
:lua require('neoclip').db_pull()<CR>:Telescope neoclip<CR>
