ble.sh: Slow when typing ** [condition: shopt -s globstar]

Hi there,

I’m having some problems when typing **, specially on large directories. I assume this could be something to do with fzf feature of **, however I don’t have this feature enabled (I think) . In this example I’m typing and it takes too long to write what I typed:

In cases of very large directories (with lots of entries) it will hand the shell. Is it possible to disable this behavior by default ?

List of Discussed Issues

Edit by @akinomyoga

• Highlighting blocked by globstar
  • Perform pathname expansions for highlighting in the background
  • highlight_timeout_sync
  • highlight_timeout_async
• Completion blocked by globstar
  • Perform pathname expansions for completion in the background
  • bleopt complete_timeout_auto
• Highlighting with globstar significantly slower than command execution
  • Caused by multiple pathname expansions for each path segment
• Input is slow even with bleopt highlight_timeout_sync=0 by async highlighting
  • Related to the cumulated timeouts in one pass of highlighting
• Slow TAB completion with globstar highlighted already
  • Seems to be related to the item “Input/completion speed is linked with the size of expanded results”.
  • bleopt complete_timeout_compvar
• Crash/hang on TAB completion
  • Unknown condition. Reproduced a few times at @akinomyoga side
  • conditional-sync is suspicious because there is always a subshell when it occurred.
• Tilde prevents pathname expansions for highlighting
• Input/completion speed is linked with the size of expanded results
