That you be really appreciated

Regards

Hello,

i tried this too and it didn’t work for me either with :frequency =\>  
“0”.

But it does with a value like “0.01” (“0.0” also seems to have no  
effect). The completion list is not instantly showing with “0.01” but  
still a lot earlier than before.

Hope this helps.

Greetings,
