texstudio
I am using the version TeXstudio 2.12.16 (git 2.12.16). When I type it takes a considerable amount of time before the words actually appear on the screen. It seems like TexStudio is giving me a lot of suggestions in the middle of a word, that it cannot keep up with the writing. Any ideas on how to fix this?
(I am new to both LaTeX and TexStudio so this may have something to do with it too)
Thanks a lot for any help
Try to change the encoding correctly. See the image below:
TeXstudio has a strange behavior with auto-completion: it does auto-suggestion and completion at the same time. It is frustrating to me as well but you can press ESC button at the end of typing to prevent TeXstudio from auto-completing the phrase.
Another solution would be to use TeXMaker (program that TeXstudio was forked from) and create User Tags (menu User->User Tags->Edit tags). Define \phantom as a tag that you can insert by pressing e.g. Shift+F1 (for first user tag).

Something that worked for me was to deselect Inline Checking. It is in Options/Configure/Editor. It seems that checking for syntax, especially, slows down the program. Deselecting inline checking removes the bold of some words, but still maintains different colors for
\begin,\usepackage, and other keywords. And it makes the program faster.
