On Idle

This a very simple extension that triggers configurable commands after a period of inactivity, i.e. when you stop typing.

When commands are configured for current file extension, a button is displayed in the status bar (a watch with a tick or a cross next to it) indicating if On Idle is enabled for that file extension:

Click the button to disable or enable.

Configuration

onIdle.commands specifies the commands to trigger for specific file extensions.

Example:

onIdle.commands: {
    "md": {
        "enabled": true,
        "commands:" [
            "markdown-latex-toggle.markdown-to-latex"
        ]
    }
}

Use onIdle.delay to change the delay after which the commands are triggered. The value is specified in milliseconds. The default delay is 1 second.

The position of the status bar button can be configured using onIdle.buttonAlignment and onIdle.buttonPriority. The icon itself can be changed with onIdle.buttonIcon.
