Option to disable alias popups in rules
0%
Description
An option to disable the popup of the aliases in the rules section would be very handy, hovering over a 20k+ list by accident and have your browser almost die, not so fun. People on low end systems or that have lots of things running at once, I can imagine would benefit from this option.

Huh, what kind of horrible HW/browser are you using? Takes about a second on a 10 years old laptop with an alias having 400K entries (the listing is limited to first 10K entries anyway).

It seems a reasonable thing to me (for those running on crud hardware at either server or client end) and is easy to implement. Here is my suggested version:

In the 2.2.x days we only let the popup display 30 or so entries which seems saner than making an option. A huge alias couldn't possibly display its full contents on the screen in a popup anyhow so it doesn't make sense to render it all.

Well yes, it's already limited to 10K entries (they are all displayed if you have the patience to scroll down...)
Whether 10K is a reasonable number is another question. :-D
