Problem:
No way to check if a LSP config is enabled without causing it to
resolve. E.g. `vim.lsp.config['…'] ~= nil` will resolve the config,
which could be an unwanted and somewhat expensive side-effect.
Solution:
Introduce `vim.lsp.is_enabled()`.
- Add missing diagnostics virtual lines hl groups.
- Fix LSP dynamic registration example; curbuf may not actually be attached to
the client, and it may be attached to many such buffers.
- sort fields alphabetically.
- in the `vim.lsp.Client` docs, reference `vim.lsp.ClientConfig` instead
of duplicating its docs.
- cleanup lots of redundant-yet-drifted field docs.
Problem:
Some language servers do not work properly without a workspace folder.
Solution:
Add `workspace_required`, which skips starting the lsp client if no
workspace folder is found.

Problem: `trigger` is a custom word not yet used in APIs.
Solution: Use `get` instead because the main effect is that the
completion candidates will be collected (and shown by default,
but follow-up commits are planned to add an `on_result` callback
that allows more general handling).

Problem:
The root dir function is not passed any context and can only assume the
current buffer is the one being attached.
The main use case is for getting the path of the buffer using
`nvim_buf_get_name`.
Solution:
Pass the buffer number as the first argument.
Problem:
vim.lsp.completion with "autotrigger" enabled, does not send
completion context, even though it has all the necessary info.
Solution:
Include the context for "autotrigger".
trigger() also optionally accepts context when manually invoked.
Problem:
Descriptions are somewhat vague. nvim_set_current_line modifies contents
but nvim_set_current_buf does not, etc.
Solution:
- Make it clear that these functions accept or return a winid/tabid by
linking to that concept in help.
- Only these few files use the term "handles", so replace them with the
more conventional terminology.
- Add a new help section for tab-ID. This concept is unique to neovim
because vim exposes tabnr, but not tab handles. This section is
modelled after `:h winid`.
Problem: setting `loclist = true` makes `on_list` being ignored. This
was not a problem before, but with `vim.lsp.buf.document_symbol` using
`loclist = true` as default it is needed to explicitly pass `loclist =
false` in order to use custom `on_list`.
Solution: prefer `on_list` over `loclist` and document the latter as
taking effect only in the default handler.
Problem: Not able to open document symbols for different buffers
Solution: Use the location list as default.
To switch back to previous behavior (qflist):
vim.lsp.buf.document_symbol({ loclist = false })
Fixes: #31832
If root_dir is a function it is evaluated when the client is created to
determine the root directory.
This enables dynamically determining the root directory based on e.g.
project or directory structure (example: finding a parent Cargo.toml
file that contains "[workspace]" in a Rust project).
Problem: LSP configs on the runtimepath must have the same name as the
LSP server and must also explicitly set the name in vim.lsp.config. This
is redundant and creates a footgun where a user may accidentally use the
wrong name when assigning to the vim.lsp.config table.
Solution: Return a table from lsp/ runtimepath files instead
Problem:
Language server version information missing from `:checkhealth vim.lsp`.
Solution:
Store `InitializeResult.serverInfo.version` from the `initialize`
response and display for each client in `:checkhealth vim.lsp`.
Design goals/requirements:
- Default configuration of a server can be distributed across multiple sources.
- And via RTP discovery.
- Default configuration can be specified for all servers.
- Configuration _can_ be project specific.
Solution:
- Two new API's:
- `vim.lsp.config(name, cfg)`:
- Used to define default configurations for servers of name.
- Can be used like a table or called as a function.
- Use `vim.lsp.confg('*', cfg)` to specify default config for all
servers.
- `vim.lsp.enable(name)`
- Used to enable servers of name. Uses configuration defined
via `vim.lsp.config()`.
Using the "supports_method" function with a client capability inside of
an LspAttach autocommand is the preferred method to do this, so we
should be showing users how to do it.
* refactor(shared): extract `vim._list_insert` and `vim._list_remove`
* feat(lsp): add `vim.lsp.foldexpr()`
* docs(lsp): add a todo for state management
* feat(lsp): add `vim.lsp.folding_range.foldclose()`
* feat(lsp): schedule `foldclose()` if the buffer is not up-to-date
* feat(lsp): add `vim.lsp.foldtext()`
* feat(lsp): support multiple folding range providers
* refactor(lsp): expose all folding related functions under `vim.lsp.*`
* perf(lsp): add `lsp.MultiHandler` for do `foldupdate()` only once
**Problem:** The `context` parameter for `references()` is just typed as
a table, which is unhelpful.
**Solution:** Properly type it as an `lsp.ReferenceContext`!
