[Feature Request] Configurable delay for linting errors / warnings & Intellisense popups #251470

Description

@pcgeek86

In general, having immediate feedback about warnings, errors, and suggested code completions is awesome, and VSCode does this well.

However, depending on the context you're working in, it can be more distracting than helpful to have immediate feedback.
One specific scenario where this affects me is when writing Markdown files for documentation.
If I add multiple empty lines, to briefly create some space while authoring a document, VSCode instantaneously complains about linting rules related to Markdown formatting.
These warnings are helpful for maintaining code quality, but distracting in the immediate moment while I'm actively writing.

The feature request here is for a user-configurable linting and Intellisense pop-up delay, for the editor / file that's actively being worked on (currently has focus and recent input events) in VSCode.

In my very rough estimates, I would probably configure a 3-4 second delay in linting, after my last keyboard input event, so that I am not immediately inundated with visual feedback about what I'm actively typing. Of course, this need may change slightly, depending on the specific scenario of what I, as a user, am writing.


Similar feedback was posted a couple of years ago, but was incorrectly closed out.
