Subject: Xref/Eglot feature requests and a question
Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2023 15:33:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2a5ugva3g.fsf@Mini.fritz.box> (raw)
I have a couple of feature requests regarding Xref and/or Eglot, after
switching from Lsp-mode to Eglot yesterday, which BTW went really
well. Thanks to João!
1.
I'm in a C buffer with Eglot running, and I want to go to the definition
of something whose name I know, but point is not on an identifier naming
that thing. For instance, I want to go the definition of Lisp_Package
(in an obsure branch having a struct Lisp_Package), while point is
somewhere.
C-u M-. offers some completions, but Lisp_Package is not among them.
Not using a completion and entering Lisp_Package works.
Feature request: Could the completions be made to contain all workspace
symbols? Lsp-mode has something doing that, and I found it quite useful
with Helm.
C-M-. Lisp_Package RET works fine, but entering a word list as
advertised in the prompt, say "Li Pa", does not.
Question: Bug or limitation?
2.
THere are some useful eglot functions that can currently only invoked
with M-x, by default. I'm currently defining a keymap
(define-keymap :prefix 'my-eglot-bindings
"a" 'eglot-code-actions
"f" 'eglot-format
"h" 'eglot-inlay-hints-mode
"r" 'eglot-rename)
that I bind to a a prefix key in c-mode-common-hook.
Feature request: Could eglot-mode do something like that?
3.
In C mode, Xref works using Eglot, in ELisp mode it uses something else
(I have no tags tables). Both work really well, but I apparently have
to be in an ELisp buffer to use one and in a C buffer to use the other.
Feature request: Is it possible to use more than one backend at the same
time? So that I could C-M-. to find an ELisp function while being in a
C file? I couldn't find something like that mentioned in the docs, so I
guess it's not yet possible.
