This is the development repository of the LSP plugin for Geany.
Main development of the plugin happens in this repository so please report bugs here. In addition, the plugin code will be uploaded to the geany-plugins before every release so if you are interested in the release version only, you can get it from there.
The plugin provides the following LSP features:
- Autocompletion
- Function signagure
- Diagnostic messages
- Code actions
- Code lenses
- Semantic token type highlighting
- Hover popup
- Symbol tree
- Go to symbol definition/declaration
- Go to type definition
- Swap header/source
- Find references
- Find implementations
- Navigation to document/project symbols, files, and line numbers
- Code formatting
- Identical symbol highlighting
- Smart selection expanding/shrinking
- Document symbol renaming
- Project-wide renaming
By design, the plugin communicates over stdin/stdout only, is responsible for launching and terminating the language server process, and supports only a single language server per programming language.
All of these limitations are addressed by the LSP proxy project and related issues should be directed there.
For building the plugin, you need to compile and install the latest Geany version (2.1) from git master. Then, you can build and install the LSP plugin using either
./autogen.sh && make && sudo make install
or
meson setup build && cd build && ninja && sudo ninja install
- Install the LSP server you want to use.
- Enable the LSP Client plugin under
Tools->Plugin Manager. - Check the configuration file under
Tools->LSP Client->User Configurationand make sure the LSP server is configured correctly, following the documentation of the LSP server you wish to use. - Create a Geany project and set its base path to the root directory of your sources.
- Enable the LSP plugin for the project under
Project->Properties->LSP Client.
