It should be possible to cancel code completion that takes to much time. For example just typing "::" and waiting ~1 sec (to trigger completion) freezes editor on large project (pdom file ~800 Mb) for 1-5 minutes.

I understand, that compute completion proposals for everything is a heavy task but When UI freezes for so much time, it's very annoying. It should be possible to cancel such completion by pressing ESC or some other key. Or maybe some configurable timeout should work.

Another idea is to limit number of variants, for example for :: find only first 10-20 symbols, and add "..." as last one.

Reproducible: Always
