I wonder if this is the same reason why Microsoft's Remote SSH plugin on VS Code is so flaky even with a decent internet connection. Every couple of months I try to give it another go and give up due to the poor keyboard latency I inevitably experience. And the slow reconnects whenever I glance away from my computer monitor briefly. This is on a fiber connection with a 20ms ping to the remote machine.
You surely mean the latency in its embedded terminal and not the code editor, right? I use VSCode’s remote SSH specifically so that code editing doesn’t suck. It really does not.
You're right, the latency is in the embedded terminal. Perhaps it is trying to run SSH inside SSH. Still, the disconnects are a pain too.
