Consider making automatic (debounced) requests as the user types #3

Closed jmrog closed 7 years ago

Right now, requests for matching package names are made only after the user hits Enter to search. It might be a better experience for the user to get suggestions while typing. However, this needs to not cause lag and it also needs to not make too many requests to the server, so it's only here for consideration/investigation right now.

Appears to be impossible. VS Code doesn't seem to trigger relevant input events on the search input; it only provides the string contents of the input when the user hits Enter.
