This delay is configurable. The delay is there so you can actually type a bit before the UI pops up, and then the UI will be filtered to just your selection.

The configuration lies. Even with "Show hints" set to "Immediately", there is a long delay. Feels like half a second on M1 Pro.

Fair, fair—it's default is longer, so dialing it down made it feel zippy by comparison.

I'm trying out Homerow and I'm really liking it! Thanks for mentioning it. I might end up sticking with it actually.
