Slow new lines, code generation, and pasting

Type of JetBrains IDE (IntelliJ, PyCharm, etc.) and version

IntelliJ

Operating System

MacOS

TeXiFy IDEA version

0.7.16

What I did (steps to reproduce)

In any LaTeX file, pressing ENTER to create a newline is incredibly slow (~500ms). Same with if I type \begin, wait for the suggestions, and press enter. It takes ~500ms to create the block:

\begin{}
\end{}

Same after entering the environment name and pressing ENTER. Slower depending on the size automated entered.

Pasting is also slow. Slower the larger the paste.

@schwepmo Thanks for the snapshot, the issue seems to be that we’re retrieving information from the index every time, but because you have installed TeX Live the index is huge. We do this because information might have changed, which is true for the files inside your project but not so much for TeX Live, so we could just cache that in memory. Can you try if the following build fixes the performance issue? It should only be slow once. TeXiFy-IDEA-0.7.16-2318.zip

Same here, the build fixed the lag.

Note: I am using MacTeX. Now that I think about it, I did not have this issue when I used BasicTeX.
