Potential improvements:

  • Further testing to make sure that no additional issues are introduced.
  • I ran valgrind when using my new feature

Current version significantly improves performance, especially noticeable on alt+scroll.

Thanks for working on this!

Started in #1629.

I gave it a quick look and looks good, but I haven't tested it. Thanks for resurrecting this :-)

I'm running this on my local machine since today, so far it seems to work fine.

@H3rnand3zzz did you measure any performance improvements?

I wonder how much it gives us so far, and without strophe/libstrophe#191.

We also should link to #1246

It's very noticeable, especially with alt+scrolling, though I did not exactly measured it with timings.

I ran this since a couple of days and didn't find any issues.
But I also have only a limited usecase. Let's merge it and see what others find. In the worst case we will revert back.

Remove unnecessary input win redisplay
6b2e1b2 
The redisplay function in keyboard handling event was introduced by @rodarima
in the following commit:
7eac636

At the point first commit introduction it made sense, but later
the following commit added proper handling of input redisplay.
ccede06

This change was overlooked by me and introduced in profanity-im#1943.

Potential solution for profanity-im#1947.

Fix slashguard

Slashguard wasn't working since merging
#1943.

In 7eac636 the user input processing
was moved to be in gmainloop via inp_add_watch().

Undo gmainloop related changes

Revert "Merge pull request #1943 from H3rnand3zzz/gmainloop

This reverts commit 609fde0, reversing
changes made to 2ec9406.

Revert "Merge pull request #1948 from H3rnand3zzz/fix/rl-less-refreshes"

This reverts commit 11762fd, reversing
changes made to 609fde0.

We have got several issues, that we don't quite see how to solve, with
the merge of the gmainloop PR.

* Slashguard is broken (#1955) (though #1956 could fix that)
* One person reported problems with copy paste selection via mouse
* Some input buffer seems not to be cleared correctly
  It happened that I was debugging profanity used `/connect` and typed
  the password. I then debugged so long that a time out occurred, so
  profanity disconnected. Then it printed "unknown command: $password".

There was something else that I forgot now.

Bottomline is: so far we didn't get it right so we will undo these
changes until someone proposes a working solution.

We got a slight performance increase (apparently noticable when
alt+mouse scrolling) but got too many issues with this change.
