Prevent miminap from refreshing on neovim enter

[JoseConseco]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I often jump from neovim, to blender - to test out my script. I noticed neominimap is refreshing itself each time when I jump to neovim, even if nothing was changed in active buffer. And since I have more than 1.5k of lines, it makes neovim lag for 1-2 seconds.

Describe the solution you'd like Do not referesh minimap when jumping back into neovim from other apps.

[Isrothy]

Could you please enable detailed logging so I can better understand what’s triggering the refresh? You can do this by adding the following to your configuration:

vim.g.neominimap = {
    log_level = vim.log.levels.TRACE
}

This will generate a log file. After reproducing the issue, please share the log with me so I can investigate further. Thank you!

[Isrothy]

To better understand and address the issue, could you please provide a minimal configuration that reliably reproduces this problem? This will help us investigate the cause and ensure that the solution works for your specific setup.

THis is log for me switching focus to nvim from other app, (no code edited, no buffer changes, no edits, just jumping back to neovim from blender):

I can see some UI flickering in corner minimap characters are flashing, thus I'm pretty sure the lag is due to minimap refresing. I'm not sure if neovim has event for 'NvimEnter' - where u could skip refreshing buffers...

From the log, it looks like this might not be due to a single plugin. Could you provide a minimal Neovim configuration that replicates the issue? This would help narrow down whether it’s the plugin or a combination of settings that’s causing the problem.

[JoseConseco]

For now I will close this, since my config is complicated (too many plugins lol) , and I do not want spend hour or two on debuging this. will reopen this, when I find more time. Thanks for your support!
