Extremely slow in firenvim

[xeruf]

I use firenvim, and oh my, the smooth scrolling is incredibly slow in there. I am now looking for a way to disable this plugin in all firenvim instances.

Reporting this here in case this can be fixed, or maybe disabled in firenvim by default, if others have the same issue.

Used this to disable it:

if exists('g:started_by_firenvim')
    let g:smoothie_no_default_mappings=1 "extremely slow, see https://github.com/psliwka/vim-smoothie/issues/17
endif

Hi, this is most probably a Firenvim issue - it'll be fixed once https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim/issues/347 is fixed :)

Thank you for your input. Since the problem affects more UIs than just Firenvim (f.ex. slow SSH sessions), I've created #19 for possible generic improvements. #17 will stay dedicated to Firenvim-specific fixes/workarounds.

@xerus2000 I have tried to implement the minmal solution @psliwka mentioned in https://github.com/psliwka/vim-smoothie/issues/19#issue-679167114 Please test #21 using the following config -

let g:smoothie_disabled = 1

and report bugs, if any

Note to myself: check whether https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim/issues/347 is fixed in a couple of months. If not (or the smooth scrolling is slow with it anyway), teach vim-smoothie to auto-disable itself if g:started_by_firenvim is set.

@psliwka https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim/issues/347 has been fixed :)

[psliwka]

Awesome, thanks for update @glacambre!

@xerus2000: could you please re-test how does your firenvim+vim-smoothie setup perform with the new renderer?

[xeruf]

Works great, thanks for collaborating on this :)
