Important Note
Popularity of a Feature Request is one of the factors we consider when we decide which new features to implement. Therefore, we strongly recommend you to search the forum with possible keywords.
If your request is very similar to an existing one, like it () and make a meaningful comment, rather than creating a new thread. It also keeps the forum sane! If you find duplicate threads, feel free to send the moderators a message.

Use case or problem
When I type # in the editor, I’m often met with a delay while it loads up all the known tags to display in the auto-complete window. This interrupts my typing not only when I’m trying to insert a tag, but also when I’m inserting a header, and I don’t even want it to search for known tags.
Proposed solution
I’d propose decoupling the auto-complete from the editor so it can continue doing the search in the background while the user can still type. I might also suggest not starting the search until the user has either typed at least one character, or a short delay if they’ve only typed #, so that tags don’t pop up when inserting a header. I’m not sure if the slowness is just my vault, or if this is a more common experience, but it seems like a good solution to have regardless.
Current workaround (optional)
It’s easy enough to wait for, just a little annoying.
