I implement the symbol navigation function by inheriting the INavigableSymbolProvider interface. When the cursor position changes, the content of the navigation bar will change, but I found that this change is not instantaneous, and it takes about 1 second to respond. Shouldn't this response be very fast?
Hello,
Yes, there is searching and processing that takes place to locate the proper symbol and then update the UI in response. We don't do that synchronously so that we don't affect editor performance. Instead we wait for a very brief delay after typing/editing completes to update it.
Can you provide a property to set this delay time? We want it to be more responsive, now our users are reporting that the navbar is too slow to respond
Hello,
We have been able to refactor the timing of things internally so that after a first parse has been loaded, there is a much smaller delay to updating the NavigableSymbolSelector's ComboBoxes on selection changes. It feels a lot more "alive" with the change since you will actively see the selections update as the caret moves. This update will be in v22.1.1.
