I've configured the Java layer for my Spacemacs setup and am getting completion candidates using company-mode and the Eclim backend. However, everytime company-complete is triggered, I experience a short but noticable lag, which annoys me quite a bit.

Since I don't really need the autocompletion feature most of the time, I'd be glad if I can set up company mode in such a way that I have to trigger company-complete explicitly using a specific key binding (e.g. C-SPC, since that isn't really needed with evil-mode anyway).

I found no obvious candidate for this config option while browsing the company-* variables, and my Google fu hasn't turned up with any similar discussions so far. Just disabling company-mode using SPC : company-mode works, but triggering the completion using M-x company-complete during insert mode subsequently does nothing (except for printing a message that company was disabled). Same goes for toggling auto completion using SPC t a.

  • Yes, setting company-idle-delay to nil seems to do the job. Do you want to post that as an answer so I can accept it? Commented May 2, 2017 at 5:10

You need to set company-idle-delay to nil.

Quoting its docstring:

The value of nil means no idle completion.
