Idle timeout does not work.

[7ombie]

Summary

The idle-timeout configuration option appears to have no effect.

Reproduction Steps

In your config.toml file, under [editor] do something like idle-timeout = 10000. Then reload the configuration file, reboot your LSP (maybe restart Helix for good measure). In any case, when you type foo. (when foo is assigned to some struct in the environment), the completions dialog opens instantly (as soon as you type the dot) to display every member of foo. The dialog should not appear unless you idle for 10,000 milliseconds (10 seconds).

That completion is caused by trigger characters rather than the idle timeout
