Autocomplete micro lag

[kolombet]

Each time requested autocomplete for haxe in sublime text 3 (Classes autocomplete, function parameters autocomplete) micro lag happens (50-100 millisecond). It's very annoying, when you input some code fast, and get lag each character inputed.

I have very powerful pc with lot of ram and ssd, so it can't be fault of my pc. And in the flash develop autocomplete happens instantly, with no delay.

I can record video of this, if this issue only my problem. But i try to use sublime with haxe-sublime-bundle on windows pc and mac notebook, no difference - same lag on each device.

This package uses compiler based autocomplete. This means that the file must be saved and compiled. Which causes the lag.

You can disable autocomplete with this setting:

"haxe_auto_complete": false

Use these shortcuts to display completion list and hints manually:

• Ctrl+Space - display haxe completion
• Ctrl+Alt+Space - display type completion
• Ctrl+Shift+Space - show code hint

Thanks, i will use manual autocomplete. But i have few questions. It's hard to me, to find haxe-sublime-bundle settings, it's hidden deep in the plugin. Maybe do shortcut to it in Preferences -> Package Settings, like it's done in many other sublime plugins?

I know nothing about sublime plugin development, but can plugin save file to memory or temp folder and compile it asynchronously?

FlashDevelop autocomplete is compiler based too, but why their autocomplete works instantly? (i am not sure about this, at least they use haxe autocomplete server)

Added.

... and compile it asynchronously?

I think it's possible, but I don't plan to implement it, because I use manual autocomplete. If you know python, you can try to implement this feature.

Flash Develop uses mixed autocomplete (internal/haxe compiler) as far as I know.
