The idea it's not bad...
Maybe 500ms as starting point is too much, as sometimes I'd just want to
type "f", firefox spots and I hit enter, but we could indeed increase
this wait so that it's slower and then gets quicker.

If you want to contribute with a branch, it would be cool to review it.

Thanks
