Very laggy on arch linux

[carnager]

Running tines is very laggy on current arch linux.
Hitting ESC takes 1-2 seconds to show the menu.
Happens on every terminal (vte based, urxvt, xterm)

hnb does not have this issue

What can I provide to help you finding the issue?

Hi, can you try installing ncurses5-compat-libs as Fred Warren suggested in Issue #5? If that fixes the problems, I'll add a note to the docs and close these.

[carnager]

Installed the package and both issues persist...
Recompiling tines also does not help, it still links against libncursesw.so.6

[larrykollar]

OK, this is a stupid question, but did you put the 5 in there?

OK, I have a dumb request I just now thought of: press F5 to open the command line, then type show_vars and look for escdelay.

• If the value is 100, try changing it to 10 in your .tinesrc just to see what happens.
• If the value is 1000 or more, change it to 100 in your .tinesrc and that should fix it.

Changing escdelay to 10 in the config solved it for me.
