Overview ¶
The program acme-lsp is a client for the acme text editor that acts as a proxy for a set of Language Server Protocol servers.
A Language Server implements the Language Server Protocol (see https://langserver.org/), which provides language features like auto complete, go to definition, find all references, etc. Acme-lsp depends on one or more language servers already being installed in the system. See this page of a list of language servers: https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/implementors/servers/.
Acme-lsp executes or connects to a set of LSP servers specified using the -server or -dial flags. It then listens for messages sent to the plumber (https://9fans.github.io/plan9port/man/man4/plumber.html) port named "lsp". The messages direct acme-lsp to run commands on the LSP servers and apply/show the results in acme. The format of the plumbing messages is implementation dependent and subject to change. The L command should be used to send the messages instead of plumb(1) command.
This following plumbing rule must be added to $HOME/lib/plumbing:
# declarations of ports without rules plumb to lsp
and then the rules must be reload by running:
cat $HOME/lib/plumbing | 9p write plumb/rules
Acme-lsp also watches for Put executed in an acme window, organizes import paths in the window and formats it.
Usage: acme-lsp [flags]
-debug
turn on debugging prints
-dial value
language server address for filename match (e.g. '\.go$:localhost:4389')
-server value
language server command for filename match (e.g. '\.go$:gopls')
-workspaces string
