* Description
This layer adds support for basic language server protocol packages speaking
[[https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specification][language server protocol]].
Different language servers may support the language server protocol to varying degrees
and they may also provide extensions; check the language server's website for
details.
=M-x lsp-describe-session= in a LSP buffer to list capabilities of the server.
** Features:
- Cross references (definitions, references, document symbol, workspace symbol
search and others)
- Workspace-wide symbol rename
- Symbol highlighting
- Flycheck
- Completion with =company-lsp=
- Signature help with eldoc
- Symbol documentation in a child frame (=lsp-ui-doc=)
- Navigation using imenu
- Consistent core key bindings in LSP modes
* Configuration
The LSP ecosystem is based on two packages: [[https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode][lsp-mode]] and [[https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-ui][lsp-ui]].
Please check out their documentation.
If you add =lsp-*-enable= to major mode hooks for auto initialization of
language clients, customize =lsp-project-whitelist= =lsp-project-blacklist= to
disable projects you don't want to enable LSP.
** Variables
A number of configuration variables have been exposed via the LSP layer =config.el=.
Sensible defaults have been provided, however they may all be overridden in your .spacemacs, or dynamically using the bindings added
under the derived mode t prefix by =(spacemacs/lsp-bind-keys-for-mode mode)=
| Variable name | Default | Description |
|---------------------------------+---------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| =lsp-navigation= | `both' | `simple' or `peek' to bind only xref OR lsp-ui-peek navigation functions |
| =lsp-ui-remap-xref-keybindings= | nil | When non-nil, xref key bindings remapped to lsp-ui-peek-find-{definition,references} |
| =lsp-ui-doc-enable= | t | When non-nil, the documentation overlay is displayed |
| =lsp-ui-doc-include-signature= | nil | When nil, signature omitted from lsp-ui-doc overlay (this is usually redundant) |
| =lsp-ui-sideline-enable= | t | When non-nil, the symbol information overlay is displayed |
| =lsp-ui-sideline-show-symbol= | nil | When non-nil, the symbol information overlay includes symbol name (redundant for c-modes) |
| =lsp-prefer-flymake= | nil | When non-nil, use flymake. When nil, and =lsp-ui-flycheck= is available, use flycheck. When :none, use neither flymake nor flycheck. |
** Navigation mode
The ~lsp-navigation~ variable defined in =config.el= allows you to define a preference for lightweight or pretty
(using =lsp-ui-peek=) source navigation styles. By default, the lightweight functions are bound under ~SPC m g~
and the =lsp-ui-peek= variants under ~SPC m G~. Setting ~lsp-navigation~ to either ~'simple~ or ~'peek~ eliminates
the bindings under ~SPC m G~ and creates bindings under ~SPC m g~ according to the specified preference.
* Key bindings
A number of lsp features useful for all/most modes have been bound to the lsp minor mode, meaning they'll be
available in all language layers based on the lsp layer.
** Key binding prefixes
The key bindings are grouped under the following prefixes:
| prefix | name | functional area |
|-----------+-------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ~SPC m =~ | format | Source formatting |
| ~SPC m g~ | goto | Source navigation |
| ~SPC m G~ | peek | Source navigation (lsp-ui-peek overlay) |
| ~SPC m F~ | folder | Add/remove folders from workspace |
| ~SPC m h~ | help | Help |
| ~SPC m b~ | lsp/backend | Catchall. Restart LSP backend, other implementation-specific functionality |
| ~SPC m r~ | refactor | What it says on the tin |
| ~SPC m T~ | toggle | Toggle LSP backend features (documentation / symbol info overlays etc.) |
Some navigation key bindings (i.e. ~SPC m g~ / ~SPC m G~) use an additional level of grouping:
| prefix | name | functional area |
|-----------------+------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------|
| ~SPC m <g/G> h~ | hierarchy | Hierarchy (i.e. call/inheritance hierarchy etc. ) |
| ~SPC m <g/G> m~ | member hierarchy | Class/namespace members (functions, nested classes, vars) |
** Core key bindings
The lsp minor mode bindings are:
| binding | function |
|-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ~SPC m = b~ | format buffer (lsp) |
| ~SPC m = r~ | format region (lsp) |
|-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ~SPC m g t~ | goto type-definition (lsp) |
| ~SPC m g k~ | goto viewport word (avy) (See Note 1) |
| ~SPC m g K~ | goto viewport symbol (avy) (See Note 1) |
| ~SPC m g e~ | browse flycheck errors (lsp-treemacs) |
| ~SPC m g M~ | browse file symbols (lsp-ui-imenu) |
|-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Note | /Replaced by the lsp-ui-peek equivalents when ~lsp-navigation~ == ='peek=/ |
| ~SPC m g i~ | find implementations (lsp) |
| ~SPC m g d~ | find definitions (xref/lsp) |
| ~SPC m g r~ | find references (xref/lsp) |
| ~SPC m g s~ | find symbol in project (helm-lsp) |
| ~SPC m g S~ | find symbol in all projects (helm-lsp) |
| ~SPC m g p~ | goto previous (xref-pop-marker-stack) |
|-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Note | /Omitted when ~lsp-navigation~ == ='peek= or ='simple=/ |
| | /Bound under ~SPC m g~ rather than ~SPC m G~ when ~lsp-navigation~ == ='peek=/ |
| ~SPC m G i~ | find implementation (lsp-ui-peek) |
| ~SPC m G d~ | find definitions (lsp-ui-peek) |
| ~SPC m G r~ | find references (lsp-ui-peek) |
| ~SPC m G s~ | find-workspace-symbol (lsp-ui-peek) |
| ~SPC m G p~ | goto previous (lsp-ui-peek stack - see Note 2) |
| ~SPC m G n~ | goto next (lsp-ui-peek stack - see Note 2) |
| ~SPC m G E~ | browse flycheck errors (lsp-ui) |
|-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ~SPC m h h~ | describe thing at point |
|-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ~SPC m b s~ | lsp-shutdown-workspace |
| ~SPC m b r~ | lsp-restart-workspace |
| ~SPC m b a~ | execute code action |
| ~SPC m b d~ | lsp-describe-session |
|-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ~SPC m r r~ | rename |
|-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ~SPC m T d~ | toggle documentation overlay |
| ~SPC m T F~ | toggle documentation overlay function signature |
| ~SPC m T s~ | toggle symbol info overlay |
| ~SPC m T S~ | toggle symbol info overlay symbol name |
| ~SPC m T I~ | toggle symbol info overlay duplicates |
| ~SPC m T l~ | toggle lenses |
|-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ~SPC m F r~ | Remove workspace folder |
| ~SPC m F a~ | Add workspace folder |
| ~SPC m F s~ | Switch workspace folder |
Note 1: Your language server may not distinguish between the word and symbol variants of this binding.
Note 2: There is a window local jump list dedicated to cross references.
** Language-specific key binding extensions
Some LSP server implementations provide extensions to the protocol, which can be leveraged using ~lsp-find-custom~
or ~lsp-ui-peek-find-custom~. A number of additional functions have been provided to facilitate wrapping these extensions
in a manner consistent with the ~lsp-navigation~ setting.
*** ~spacemacs/lsp-define-extensions layer-name kind request &optional extra-parameters~
Use this to define an extension to the lsp find functions. An example from the c-c++ layer:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(spacemacs/lsp-define-extensions "c-c++" 'refs-address
"textDocument/references"
'(plist-put (lsp--text-document-position-params) :context '(:role 128)))
#+END_SRC
This defines the following interactive functions:
- ~c-c++/find-refs-address~
- ~c-c++/peek-refs-address~
*** ~spacemacs/lsp-bind-extensions-for-mode~
Use this to bind one or more extensions under ~SPC m g~ and/or ~SPC m G~, as dictated by the value of ~lsp-navigation~.
Using another example from the c-c++ layer:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(spacemacs/lsp-bind-extensions-for-mode mode "c-c++"
"&" 'refs-address
"R" 'refs-read
"W" 'refs-write
"c" 'callers
"C" 'callees
"v" 'vars)
#+END_SRC
With ~lsp-navigation~ set to ~'both~ (the default), this is equivalent to:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(spacemacs/set-leader-keys-for-major-mode mode
"g&" 'c-c++/find-refs-address
"gR" 'c-c++/find-refs-read
"gW" 'c-c++/find-refs-write
"gc" 'c-c++/find-callers
"gC" 'c-c++/find-callees
"gv" 'c-c++/find-vars
"G&" 'c-c++/peek-refs-address
"GR" 'c-c++/peek-refs-read
"GW" 'c-c++/peek-refs-write
"Gc" 'c-c++/peek-callers
"GC" 'c-c++/peek-callees
"Gv" 'c-c++/peek-vars)
#+END_SRC
whereas with ~lsp-navigation~ set to ~'peek~, this is equivalent to:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(spacemacs/set-leader-keys-for-major-mode mode
"g&" 'c-c++/peek-refs-address
"gR" 'c-c++/peek-refs-read
"gW" 'c-c++/peek-refs-write
"gc" 'c-c++/peek-callers
"gC" 'c-c++/peek-callees
"gv" 'c-c++/peek-vars)
#+END_SRC
etc.
* Diagnostics
If some features do not work as expected, here is a common check list.
- =M-x lsp-describe-session= If the LSP workspace is initialized correctly
- =M-: xref-backend-functions= should be =(lsp--xref-backend)= for cross
references
- =M-: completion-at-point-functions= should be =(lsp-completion-at-point)= for
completion
