Highlight definitions taking ~6seconds (JavaScript and TypeScript)

[bfulop]

Describe the bug
Hello,

When I move my cursor over a variable, it takes about 6 seconds for the highlighting to show (highlight) the other references of that variable.
On the other hand, highlight_current_scope is instantaneous.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
I have a pretty minimal init.vim right now, I removed coc.vim, no lsp plugin and even did :syntax off.
I only have the JavaScript and TypeScript languages installed for treesitter.

Expected behavior
I would expect the highlighting of other references under the cursor to be instantaneous.

Additional context
Everything else seems to work correctly! ❤️ 👍

Maybe related to #151 ? (It does not block cursor movement for me though)

Hi !

Can you paste the output of set updatetime? here too ? because this feature is relying on the updatetime.

[bfulop]

Ah, that could be it?

it's: updatetime=4000

[bfulop]

indeed it looks like it is! 🎉
I've set it to updatetime=300 and now it's working as expected!

Thanks Thomas for the quick help!! 👏

[vigoux]

Thanks for reaching out !
And thank you to use this plugin !
