Calling warpd from terminal makes some delay #212

Open ajfpay opened 1 year ago

ajfpay commented 1 year ago

Every time want to call this command from the terminal warpd --click 1 --query < hints there will be a few moments delay. Can call query like speed activated mode?

One more question Can after pressing the button on the query not quit from query mode?

Example: I want stay in query mode and I create a script like this warpd --click 1 --query < hints ; sleep 0.1 ; warpd --click 1 --query < hints ; sleep 0.1 ; warpd --click 1 --query < hints ; sleep 0.1 ; warpd --click 1 --query < hints

yes 4 times because I do not want to quit from query mode, is there a better way to do it?

What platform are you using? (wayland/X/macos). Are you using the latest version? What is the output of warpd -v?

Why was the issue closed?

rvaiya commented 1 year ago

Sorry, I accidentally must have clicked 'close issue' instead of comment. In general the X implementation is a bit slow and relies on the daemon for caching which means non-daemon options like --query will incur the initialization overhead. I will investigate when I have some time and see if/what optimizations are possible. In the meantime try setting a border radius of 0 (if it isn't already), since that incurs the greatest overhead on X.

thank you for your concern about this matter.

I just tried this is and it seems to be nearly instantaneous on my machine. Can you post your config? What desktop environment are you using? Are you using a compositor like compton?

After telling you machine then I tried to use i3 for testing and warpd no problem, I just heard about this compton, I don't think I've ever installed it, but this is my log on GNOME 43
