documentation popup delay seems off by factor of 10 #120
Description
I use company-quickhelp via the cider layer in spacemacs.
However I noticed that there is an annoyingly long delay between selecting an autocomplete suggestion and the documentation popping up.
I looked at the customize-group company-quickhelp menu and found out that the delay was supposed to be 0.5 seconds.
However when I timed it before, it seemed to be around 4 to 5 seconds.
I thought that maybe fetching the javadoc just takes so long and adjusting this would not do anything but to my surprise it does.
I have now adjusted my .spacemacs config as follows:
(defun dotspacemacs/emacs-custom-settings ()
"Emacs custom settings.
This is an auto-generated function, do not modify its content directly, use
Emacs customize menu instead.
This function is called at the very end of Spacemacs initialization."
(custom-set-variables
;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
'(company-quickhelp-delay 0.02)
...
This makes the documentation pop up almost immediately and is a functioning workaround for me.
Nevertheless, this seems unintended. I have no idea if this is a company bug, or spacemacs oddity, or if the assumption that the units are in seconds is wrong, so forgive me if this is the wrong repo to post this issue.
