==============================================================================
1. Usage                                                 *LanguageClientUsage*

Before using LanguageClient, it is necessary to specify commands that are
going to be used to start a language server. See |LanguageClient_serverCommands|
for detail. Here is a simple example config: >

    let g:LanguageClient_serverCommands = {
        \ 'rust': ['rustup', 'run', 'stable', 'rls'],
        \ }

After that, open a file with one of the above filetypes, functionalities
provided by language servers should be available out of the box.

At this point, call any provided function as you like. See
|LanguageClientFunctions| for a complete list of functions. Usually one would
like to map these functions to shortcuts, for example: >

    nnoremap <silent> K :call LanguageClient#textDocument_hover()<CR>
    nnoremap <silent> gd :call LanguageClient#textDocument_definition()<CR>
    nnoremap <silent> <F2> :call LanguageClient#textDocument_rename()<CR>

You can also use slightly cleaner Plug mappings instead of the full function name: >

    nmap <silent> K <Plug>(lcn-hover)
    nmap <silent> gd <Plug>(lcn-definition)
    nmap <silent> <F2> <Plug>(lcn-rename)

You can apply these mappings only for buffers with supported filetypes with a
simple function: >

    function LC_maps()
      if has_key(g:LanguageClient_serverCommands, &filetype)
        nmap <buffer> <silent> K <Plug>(lcn-hover)
        nmap <buffer> <silent> gd <Plug>(lcn-definition)
        nmap <buffer> <silent> <F2> <Plug>(lcn-rename)
      endif
    endfunction

    autocmd FileType * call LC_maps()

If one is using deoplete/nvim-completion-manager at the same time, completion
should work out of the box. Otherwise, completion is available with 'C-X C-O'
('omnifunc').

Alternatively, set 'completefunc': >
    set completefunc=LanguageClient#complete
<
If the language server supports, diagnostic/lint information will be displayed
via gutter and syntax highlighting with real time editing. At the same time,
that info is populated into the quickfix list (or location list), which can be
accessed by regular quickfix/location list operations.

To use the language server with Vim's formatting operator |gq|, set 'formatexpr': >
    set formatexpr=LanguageClient#textDocument_rangeFormatting_sync()
<

2. Configuration                                 *LanguageClientConfiguration*

2.1 g:LanguageClient_serverCommands          *g:LanguageClient_serverCommands*

Dictionary to specify the servers to be used for each filetype. The keys are
strings representing the filetypes and the values are either
  1 - a list of strings that form a command
  2 - a dictionary with keys name, command and initializationOptions, where:
    - name: is the name of the server, which should match the root node of the
      configuration options specified in the settings.json file for this server
    - command: is the same list of strings in option 1
    - initializationOptions: is an optional dictionary with options to be passed
      to the server. The values to be set here are highly dependent on each
      server so you should see the documentation for each server to find out
      what to configure in here (if anything).  The options set in
      initializationOptions are merged with the default settings for each
      language server and with the workspace settings defined by the user in
      the files specified in the variable `LanguageClient_settingsPath'. The
      order in which these settings are merged is first the defualt settings,
      then the server settings configured in this section and lastly the
      contents of the files in the `LanguageClient_settingsPath` variable in
      the order in which they were listed.

For example: >

    let g:LanguageClient_serverCommands = {
        \ 'rust': ['rustup', 'run', 'stable', 'rls'],
        \ 'go': {
        \   'name': 'gopls',
        \   'command': ['gopls'],
        \   'initializationOptions': {
        \     'usePlaceholders': v:true,
        \     'codelens': {
        \       'generate': v:true,
        \       'test': v:true,
        \     },
        \   },
        \ },
        \}

In the configuration for the rust filetype above, 'run', 'stable', and 'rls'
are arguments to the 'rustup' command line tool. And in the configuration for
the go filetype the server is configured to run the command `gopls` with no
additional arguments, and with the initialization options set in the
`initializationOptions` key.

You can also use a tcp connection to the server, for example: >
    let g:LanguageClient_serverCommands = {
        \ 'javascript': ['tcp://127.0.0.1:2089'],
        \ }

Note: environmental variables are not supported except home directory alias `~`.

Default: {}



Valid Option: Map<String, List<String> | {

        },
        4: {
            "name": "Hint",
            "texthl": "LanguageClientInfo",
            "signText": "➤",

Default: v:null (Show all signs)
Valid options: v:null | number

2.4 g:LanguageClient_changeThrottle      *g:LanguageClient_changeThrottle*

Interval in seconds during which textDocument_didChange is suppressed. For
example: >

    let g:LanguageClient_changeThrottle = 0.5

This will make LanguageClient pause 0.5 second to send text changes to
server after one textDocument_didChange is sent.

Default: v:null (No throttling)
Valid options: v:null | number

2.5 g:LanguageClient_autoStart                  *g:LanguageClient_autoStart*

2.7 g:LanguageClient_selectionUI                *g:LanguageClient_selectionUI*

Selection UI used when there are multiple entries.

Default: If fzf is loaded, use "fzf", otherwise use "location-list".
Valid options: "fzf" | "quickfix" | "location-list" | |Funcref|

If you use a |Funcref|, the referenced function should have two arguments
(source, sink). The "source" argument can be either a command string or a
list. The sink argument can be a command string or a |Funcref| that takes the
selected line as its first argument.

An example implementation is "s:FZF()" in autoload/LanguageClient.vim. For
details, see the source and sink arguments of fzf#run():
https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/blob/master/README-VIM.md#fzfrun

Another example, this time using vim-clap: >

	function! MySelectionUI(source, sink) abort
		return clap#run({'id': 'LCN', 'source': a:source, 'sink': a:sink})
	endfunction

	let g:LanguageClient_selectionUI = function('MySelectionUI')

2.7 g:LanguageClient_selectionUI_autoOpen                *LanguageClient_selectionUI_autoOpen*

Default: "Warning"
Valid options: "Error" | "Warning" | "Info" | "Log"

2.12 g:LanguageClient_settingsPath              *g:LanguageClient_settingsPath*

Path for language server settings, or list of such paths. If not an absolute
path this is relative to the workspace directory. If several paths are
provided, then the corresponding settings are merged with precedence going to
the last file.

The initialization options found in the files in this config are combined with
the initialization options specified in the server command, if any. The former
taking precedence over the latter.

Note that the key under which the initialization options for each server lives
matches the key under which the server expects it's configuration. This is
important for servers that can request configuration via a
`workspace/configuration` request.

Previously, the initialization options lived under a `initializationOptions`
key, which worked, but made answering that `workspace/configuration` request
hard, since we couldn't really get the correct path to the setting the server
requested. Since version 0.1.161 of this plugin, that key has been deprecated
and you'll see a message saying that you should move off of it if your settings
file includes an `initializationOptions` key.

Example settings file content: >
    {
        "gopls": {
          "usePlaceholders": true,
          "local": "github.com/my/pkg",
        },
        "rust-analyzer": {
          "inlayHints": {
            "enable": true,
            "chainingHints": true
          },

2.14 g:LanguageClient_loggingFile               *g:LanguageClient_loggingFile*

Log file location.

Default: null
Valid options: any valid path. Please note that `~` is not a valid path and you
need to `expand` it.

Example:

    `let g:LanguageClient_loggingFile = expand('~/.vim/LanguageClient.log')`


2.15 g:LanguageClient_loggingLevel           *g:LanguageClient_loggingLevel*

Logging level.

Default: 1 to display the messages
Valid options: 1 | 0

2.33 g:LanguageClient_semanticHighlightMaps   *g:LanguageClient_semanticHighlightMaps*

String to list/map map. Defines the mapping of semantic highlighting "scopes" to
highlight groups. This depends on the LSP server supporting the proposed
semantic highlighting protocol, see:

https://github.com/microsoft/language-server-protocol/issues/18
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-languageserver-node/issues/368


Like |g:LanguageClient_serverCommands| this is a map where the keys are
filetypes. However each submap has |regexp| keys and highlight group names
as values (see |highlight-groups|).
>
    let g:LanguageClient_semanticHighlightMaps = {
        \ 'java': {
        \   '^entity.name.function.java': 'Function',
        \   '^entity.name.type.class.java': 'Type',
        \   '^[^:]*entity.name.function.java': 'Function',
        \   '^[^:]entity.name.type.class.java': 'Type'
        \ }
        \ }

The |regexp| in the keys will be used to match semantic scopes. Then any symbols
that have a semantic scope that matches the key will be highlighted with the
associated highlight group value. Currently there is no defined order if a
semantic scope can match multiple keys, so it is recommended to make the keys
more specific to only match the desired scope(s).

There are a fixed set of semantic scopes defined by the LSP server on startup.
These can be viewed by calling |LanguageClient_showSemanticScopes| which will
show all the semantic scopes and their currently mapped highlight group for
the currently open buffer's filetype.
>
     call LanguageClient_showSemanticScopes()

     == Output from eclipse.jdt.ls ==

     Highlight Group:
      None
     Semantic Scope:
      invalid.deprecated.java
       meta.class.java
        source.java

     Highlight Group:
      None
     Semantic Scope:
      variable.other.autoboxing.java
       meta.method.body.java
        meta.method.java
         meta.class.body.java
          meta.class.java
           source.java

     ...

Each semantic scope is a list of strings. They are printed with increasing
indent to make it easier to read. For example the first scope is:
>
     ['invalid.deprecated.java', 'meta.class.java', 'source.java']

It is currently isn't mapped to any highlight group as indicated by the None.

Often its more useful to find what semantic scope corresponds to a piece of
text. This can be done by calling |LanguageClient_showCursorSemanticHighlightSymbols|
while hovering over the text of interest.
>
     call LanguageClient_showCursorSemanticHighlightSymbols()

When matching the semantic scopes to keys in |LanguageClient_semanticHighlightMaps|,
the scopes are concatentated using |LanguageClient_semanticScopeSeparator|
which is set to the string |':'| by default. For the previous example the
semantic scope would have this string form using the default separator:
>
     invalid.deprecated.java:meta.class.java:source.java

Here are a couple of example |regexp| keys that can/cannot match this scope:
>
     'meta.class.java' =~ 'invalid.deprecated.java:meta.class.java:source.java'
     '^meta.class.java' !~ 'invalid.deprecated.java:meta.class.java:source.java'
     '^invalid.deprecated.java' =~ 'invalid.deprecated.java:meta.class.java:source.java'
     'source.java$' =~ 'invalid.deprecated.java:meta.class.java:source.java'
     'meta.class.java:source.java' =~ 'invalid.deprecated.java:meta.class.java:source.java'
     'invalid.deprecated.java:.*:source.java' =~ 'invalid.deprecated.java:meta.class.java:source.java'

Example configuration for eclipse.jdt.ls:
>
     let g:LanguageClient_semanticHighlightMaps = {}
     let g:LanguageClient_semanticHighlightMaps['java'] = {
       \ '^storage.modifier.static.java:entity.name.function.java': 'JavaStaticMemberFunction',
       \ '^meta.definition.variable.java:meta.class.body.java:meta.class.java': 'JavaMemberVariable',
       \ '^entity.name.function.java': 'Function',
       \ '^[^:]*entity.name.function.java': 'Function',
       \ '^[^:]*entity.name.type.class.java': 'Type',
       \ }

     highlight! JavaStaticMemberFunction ctermfg=Green cterm=none guifg=Green gui=none
     highlight! JavaMemberVariable ctermfg=White cterm=italic guifg=White gui=italic


2.34 g:LanguageClient_applyCompletionAdditionalTextEdits *g:LanguageClient_applyCompletionAdditionalTextEdits*

Indicates whether completionItem additional text edits should be applied.

Default: 1
Valid options: 1 | 0

2.35 g:LanguageClient_preferredMarkupKind *g:LanguageClient_preferredMarkupKind*

Sets the preferred markup kind. This value is sent to the server and is
normally used to decide whether to send plaintext or markdown in things like
hover or completion items docunmentation.

This should be set to an array of values with the preferred markup kinds in
order of preferrence. Leaving this config unset, will send `null` to the
server, effectively letting it decide which markup kind to use.

Example setting 1. Set the preferred markup kind to `plaintext`
  ```
  let g:LanguageClient_preferredMarkupKind = ['plaintext']
  ```

Example setting 2. Set the preferred markup kind to `plaintext` and `markdown`
as a fallback.

  ```
  let g:LanguageClient_preferredMarkupKind = ['plaintext', 'markdown']
  ```

Example setting 3. Set the preferred markup kind to `markdown`

  ```
  let g:LanguageClient_preferredMarkupKind = ['markdown']
  ```

This setting may have no effect if the server decides not to honour it.

Default: v:null
Valid options: Array<String>

2.36 g:LanguageClient_floatingWindowStyle  *g:LanguageClient_floatingWindowStyle*

Style of opened Neovim floating window.

Default: 'minimal'
Valid options: 'minimal'

2.37 g:LanguageClient_hideVirtualTextsOnInsert *g:LanguageClient_hideVirtualTextsOnInsert*

Hides all virtual texts for the current buffer while editing in insert mode.

Default: 0
Valid options: 1 | 0

2.38 g:LanguageClient_setOmnifunc                *g:LanguageClient_setOmnifunc*

Whether set buffer omnifunc to 'LanguageClient#complete'.

Default: v:true
Valid options: v:true | v:false

2.39 g:LanguageClient_binaryPath                  *g:LanguageClient_binaryPath*

Full path to languageclient binary.

Default: 'bin/languageclient' relative to plugin root.
Valid options: String

2.40 g:LanguageClient_enableExtensions          *g:LanguageClient_enableExtensions*

LanguageClient-neovim provides extensions for some language servers, such as gopls or rust-analyzer.
These extensions can be turned on or off, and they are configurable per language (not per language
server).

An example of the extensions provided is running Rust or Go tests in a vim terminal. This takes
advantage of the commands provided by rust-analyzer or gopls (respectively) and executes those
commands in a vim terminal.

Example config:
  ```
  let g:LanguageClient_enableExtensions = {
    \ 'go': v:false,
    \ 'rust': v:true,
    \ }
  ```
In this example we explicitly disable extensions for the filetype `go`, and enable them for `rust`.
Filetypes not included in this config will also have their extensions disabled, unless you
explicitly enable them like we did for `rust`.

The default value for this config, or the absence of this config, enables extensions for all filetypes.

Default: v:null

2.41 g:LanguageClient_codeLensDisplay          *g:LanguageClient_codeLensDisplay*

Control how code lenses are displayed.

Default: >
  {
    "virtualTexthl": "LanguageClientCodeLens",
  }

2.42 g:LanguageClient_hoverMarginSize        *g:LanguageClient_hoverMarginSize*

When using floating windows to open hover previews (for more information see
|g:LanguageClient_useFloatingHover|), this setting controls whether and how
big of a margin to draw around the contents of the hover.

Having some margin looks nice, so the default is 1.

Floating windows don't have a true way to set padding/margin on them, so the
strategy used is to add one line above and below the language server's raw
hover response, and one space character before the start of every non-empty
line in the hover response.

Having a space in front of the hover content can cause some syntax
highlighters to mess up (because e.g., they have a regex expecting a syntax
construct to be anchored to the start of a line). To turn off adding this
margin, set this setting to 0. Example:
>
  let g:LanguageClient_hoverMarginSize = 0
<
Default: 1

2.43 g:LanguageClient_restartOnCrash          *g:LanguageClient_restartOnCrash*

If enabled, the client will attempt to restart the server on the event that it
unexpectedly crashes.

Default: 1

2.44 g:LanguageClient_maxRestartRetries          *g:LanguageClient_maxRestartRetries*

Max number of times to attempt to recover from a server crash. Each language
handles its own count independently.

Default: 5

2.45 g:LanguageClient_showCompletionDocs  *g:LanguageClient_showCompletionDocs*

Show completion item documentation in a floating window right next to pmenu.

Default: 1
Valid options: 1 | 0

4. Functions                                          *LanguageClientFunctions*

*LanguageClient#Call()*
*LanguageClient_Call()*
Signature: LanguageClient#Call(method: String, params: Map | List, callback: Funcref | String | List | Null)

Call a method of current language server. After receiving response, if
callback is a function, it is invoked with response as params, if the callback
is a list, the response is pushed at the end of it, if callback is null, it is
handled by this plugin default handler.

*LanguageClient#Notify()*
*LanguageClient_Notify()*
Signature: LanguageClient#Notify(method: String, params: Map | List)

Send a notification to the current language server.

*LanguageClient_contextMenu()*
Signature: LanguageClient#contextMenu(...)

Show list of all available actions.

If optional dependency FZF is installed, actions will be displayed in a FZF
prompt, selecting one of the action will then call the action's function.

To skip FZF prompt even if FZF is installed and use native numbered list,
add this variable to vimrc:
`let g:LanguageClient_fzfContextMenu = 0`

For Denite users, a source with name 'contextMenu' is provided.

*LanguageClient#textDocument_hover()*
*LanguageClient_textDocument_hover()*
Signature: LanguageClient#textDocument_hover(...)

Show type info (and short doc) of identifier under cursor.

If you're using Neovim 0.4.0 or later, this function opens documentation in a
floating window. The window is automatically closed when you move the cursor.
Or calling this function again just after opening the floating window moves
the cursor into the window. It is useful when documentation is longer and you
need to scroll down or you want to yank some text in the documentation.

*LanguageClient#textDocument_definition()*
*LanguageClient_textDocument_definition()*
Signature: LanguageClient#textDocument_definition(...)

Goto definition under cursor.

*LanguageClient#textDocument_typeDefinition()*
*LanguageClient_textDocument_typeDefinition()*
Signature: LanguageClient#textDocument_typeDefinition(...)

Goto type definition under cursor.

*LanguageClient#textDocument_implementation()*
*LanguageClient_textDocument_implementation()*
Signature: LanguageClient#textDocument_implementation(...)

Goto implementation under cursor.

*LanguageClient#textDocument_rename()*
Signature: LanguageClient#textDocument_rename()
           LanguageClient#textDocument_rename({"newName": ...})

Rename identifier under cursor.

Accepts an optional dictionary argument, which if passed with the {newName}
property, will rename to the provided value without prompting the user. This
can be useful in situations where {newName} can be wholly determined from the
existing name (e.g. capitalization, camelCase, etc).


Example bindings combining with tpope/vim-abolish:
>
    " Rename - rn => rename
    noremap <leader>rn :call LanguageClient#textDocument_rename()<CR>

    noremap <leader>rc :call LanguageClient#textDocument_rename(
                \ {'newName': Abolish.camelcase(expand('<cword>'))})<CR>

    " Rename - rs => rename snake_case
    noremap <leader>rs :call LanguageClient#textDocument_rename(
                \ {'newName': Abolish.snakecase(expand('<cword>'))})<CR>

    " Rename - ru => rename UPPERCASE
    noremap <leader>ru :call LanguageClient#textDocument_rename(
                \ {'newName': Abolish.uppercase(expand('<cword>'))})<CR>

6.1 LanguageClientStarted
*LanguageClientStarted*

This event is triggered after LanguageClient has successfully started.

6.2 LanguageClientStopped
*LanguageClientStopped*

This event is triggered after LanguageClient has stopped.

Example: >
  augroup LanguageClient_config
    autocmd!
    autocmd User LanguageClientStarted setlocal signcolumn=yes
    autocmd User LanguageClientStopped setlocal signcolumn=auto
  augroup END

6.3 LanguageClientDiagnosticsChanged
*LanguageClientDiagnosticsChanged*

This event is triggered when diagnostics changed.

6.4 LanguageClientTextDocumentDidOpenPost
*LanguageClientTextDocumentDidOpenPost*

Triggered after textDocument/didOpen notification is sent to language server.

8. Bugs                                                   *LanguageClientBugs*

Please report all bugs at https://github.com/autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim/issues

If you believe you've found a bug in this plugin, please first try to help
narrow down where the error happens, which will reduce bug fix time/effort
significantly.

Experiment with VS Code plugin if the language server has one.

Try increasing logging level to 'INFO' or 'DEBUG' using the
|LanguageClient_setLoggingLevel| function, and check the log file.

There is also a utility script in: >

    $RUNTIME/tests/wrapper-server.sh

which can work like a proxy and logs all stdin and stdout of the language
server into a log file.
