Description Diggory Hardy 2023-11-06 10:38:28 UTC

SUMMARY
- LSP client: add option to disable in-editor diagnostic highlighting.
- LSP client: add option to disable completions.

MOTIVATION
The LSP client adds some extremely useful features like jump-to-definition, find-references, completions. However, some features can, at times, be extremely distracting; for example in-editor error highlighting is useful when compile-checking a new feature but is less useful (and potentially quite annoying) while writing a larger new feature. Completions are powerful, but also get in the way of looking at the surrounding code.

Having the option to quickly en-/dis-able these two features during code development (instead of being limited to disabling the whole LSP client) would be much appreciated.

Settings -> LSP Client -> Show Program Diagnostics 

OR 

Right click, LSP -> More -> Show Diagnostics Notifications...

There is no way to disable lsp completions though.

Allow to disable auto lsp completions

With this option, the completions will still show if you
press Ctrl-Space i.e., do a manual invocation but won't
show if you are just typing.
