Input lag

~~When using WSLBash as the shell, typing feels sluggish.~~ Typing feels sluggish with other shells too. Input characters can take up to a whole second to appear on the screen.

I have experienced the same thing as well.

My suspicion is that there is some buffering going on with the streams I am using to write to the terminal backend. This didn't happen before so I wonder if it was a change VS side. Regardless I will start looking into it.

Having the same issue as of 1.1.3.25906. Looking forward to a fix of that.

Still seeing this issue. Quite a bummer since I really like this extension.

@th0mk as of VS 16.6 you can use the built-in terminal which should have much better latency

The built in terminal doesn't have ANSI color support unfortunately. The input lag is pretty bad for me. Every character I type takes about 2 seconds to show up in the terminal window. Also, I am on a pretty beefy machine (i9-9900K with 8 cores, 16 threads, 32gb ram, 1TB NVMe drive, 2080 RTX Ti).
