Description

The popups can be way too aggressive while typing. It would be really helpful if they were less intrusive in some way. Perhaps adding a setting for quick_info_delay so that it would not show until I've stopped typing for the amount of milliseconds the setting is set to.

Research direction

Start by tracing the quick info popup handling and the configuration entry point for a possible quick_info_delay setting. Verify the popup waits for the configured number of milliseconds after typing stops, and check the existing popup behavior to confirm it remains unchanged when no delay is configured.
