Configurable delay for problem diagnostics

[usernamehw]

I would like to debounce decoration rendering for errors/warning. Not sure about info/hint.

"editor.errorDelay": number, // ms
"editor.warningDelay": number, // ms

• This is not a performace issue
• Even when decoration span is 1 line (not like the entire screenshot above) it would still be a good feature

@usernamehw What is the need to make it configurable?

[usernamehw]

@sandy081 For the same reason Zen Mode exists.

@usernamehw Sorry I did not find the relation. Can you please elaborate?

[usernamehw]

@sandy081 To not see anything that can grab your attention.
Overwhelming majority of warnings will be fixed on save, most of the errors - I'm just not finished typing.

The conclusion - they are often shown to the user for no reason.

[sandy081]

Instead of delay, what you need is not to validate until save? And this has to be supported by the extensions owning diagnostics and not through platform.

[usernamehw]

Yes, it should also trigger rendering of errors/warnings on save.

So ... to delay rendering of vscode decorations the only way is to support it - is somehow from language extensions...

[sandy081]

Yes.

Hence closing this as it is extension supported feature.
