Neovim with lazy.nvim has that by default (delay included).
I'm not Neovim person, but would you happen to know what plugin provides that feature?
I cannot express how liberating it feels to opt out of "advanced" editor tools like lsp. I program in neovim with no plugins, no syntax highlighting and no autocomplete of any kind. There is a discipline that this imposes that I believe leads to better quality programs. It's not for everyone I suppose, but I really recommend trying it.

I can see no plugins, I can even see no autocomplete but no syntax highlighting is just making things difficult for the sake of it
To each their own. I quit using syntax highlighting about 10 years ago and won't ever go back (been programming for 25 years, vim/neovim user for 24 years). I just like it better, it works for me. It definitely does not make things "difficult for the sake of it" (for me ). There are dozens of us! :) (As to the rest: I use a pretty minimal set of plugins and I use the built in nvim C-o/C-p or C-x C-o/p "dumb" autocomp…

Sorry I'm exhausted and lazy.nvim is the package manager, but I meant lazyvim which is the distribution. Within this distribution I'm pretty sure it's which-key that provides a popup. If I type it pops with suggestion (and a little icon in front of each indicating if the next key has sub-commands or not).

I think you completely missed the context for the configuration issues in vim: I’ve been trying to get a working language server setup (so I can do things like “go to definition”) and getting a setup that feels good in Vim or Neovim just felt like too much work.
It might have been a bit harder in the past, but with recent versions of neovim (>=0.11) it's less than 20 lines of configuration. I have quite a few keybindings to jump back and forth through errors and the default keybidings already include things like renaming, go to definition or listing references. I'd be more than happy to help you configuring it to your needs.
The bloat of the neovim distributions are real and what I would suggest for anyone who is a long time vim user is to check out kickstart. https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim , specifically the modular fork https://github.com/dam9000/kickstart-modular.nvim which will give you a great (minimal) starting point
used vim for ten years now. I have wanted to try this out but stuck in my ways with vim. To me one of the great selling points of vim (I use strictly in terminal, I didnt even know there was a gui) is that no matter what machine I am on, I basically always have my code editor available to me. my .vimrc is about 10 lines, growing at a pace of maybe 1 line a year, and it’s in my head. If I need to switch machines, no b…

Strange approach to data loss, since it doesn't have persistent undo, you can't just reopen it to the same editing state? > After using Vim/Neovim for 20 years, I’ve tried both “build my own custom configuration from scratch” and “use someone else’s pre-buld configuration system” a…

1. Install nvim-lspconfig plugin
2. Add `vim.lsp.enable("clangd")` to init.lua
You can even enable LSPs on a per-project basis by taking advantage of the revamped exrc feature:
1. Add `vim.opt.exrc = true` to init.lua
2. Add `vim.lsp.enable("clangd")` to $projectdir/.nvim.lua
My requirements:
- language support (syntax, formatting)
- lsp (I want the goto definition)
- file browser
- quick jump (fzf...)
- a little bit of eye candy, nice fonts and a few icons to make things clear
- auto reload if file changed externally
- splits I can manage with the keyboard
- persistent undo
- in terminal or with excellent SSH remote editing
I would love to have an editor with better defaults. I don't mind learning something good and robust if it will serve me for years.
