setcol-clipboard
is very slow for large numbers of rows. It also freezes the display while it runs.To see the slowness: do
seq 1000111 |vd -
then paste a column of a million rows viags
gzy
za
newcol
gzp
. On my system it processes a few thousand rows per second.This PR makes
setcol-clipboard
about 100x faster. It also adds the@asyncthread
decorator tosetValuesTyped()
(likesetValues()
) so the screen can continue to update whilesetValuesTyped()
runs.
