Re: [sup-devel] [PATCHv2] idle and unidle updates

[Eric Sherman <hyperbolist@gmail.com>]

This is a problematic place for this logic to go, since it appears as if 
the idle update does not fire when shelled to the editor, and instead fires 
immediately upon returning.  Which ironically is exactly when you're 
becoming unidle.

I'm thinking of an IdleManager with a single public method #ping that can 
be called here where no_keystrokes_since is being updated.  It has a thread 
that does the threshold checking and relays the updates.  This way it's not 
in the main thread and doesn't block when shelled.

Thoughts?
