How to make LSP work on all files?

[RoloEdits]

Now with the ability to use multiple lps for file types, I am using https://github.com/tekumara/typos-vscode for spell checking in my rust files via:

[language-server.typos]
command = "typos-lsp"

[[languages]]
name = "rust"
language-servers = ["rust-analyzer", "typos"]

Is it possible, without having to go to each language and add this? With little knowledge of the codebase, or how everything comes together, I know, for example, that some comments, like TODO or WARN work in all files, or at least files I have used then in.

I was about to start a similar discussion - I have a language server called contextive that provides documentation support for domain specific terminology in a programming language-agnostic way.

In other IDEs, I've been able to nominate as part of the language server configuration which languages it should be used for, and to use a * to indicate that it should be used for all files. This appears to be the inverse of the helix approach, which is to nominate the language servers to be used for a given language.

There may be better ways to do this for helix, but one option is if the [language-server] table could have a languages key to define languages it is used for. To co-exist with the existing approach I guess they could be effectively merged so any language/lsp combo could be defined from either the language or the lsp.

If the languages key in the lsp config would also accept * to indicate it should be used in all files, that would be super helpful for my users!

Ask for help 🙏. Could you show me your languages.toml?

Here is mine:

[language-server.typos-lsp]
command = "typos-lsp"

[language-server.typos-lsp.config.typos] # BUG
diagnosticSeverity = "Hint" # ["Error", "Warning", "Information", "Hint"]
logLevel = "info"           # ["off", "error", "warn", "info", "debug", "trace"]

Warning is here but hint is expected.

It's weird that typos-vscode's README and package.json are different.

Would be great to be able to have this. My situation is similar in that I would like to add a language server to all files in a specific project.

[tekumara]

Try this:

[[language]]
name = "all-files"
scope = ""
file-types = [{glob="*"}]
language-servers = ["typos"]

PS: for a complete typos-lsp config see here.

[oschwald]

This seems to override the default language settings, disabling highlighting and LSPs for languages not explicitly in the config.

[daaku]

Yeah got excited and ran into the same issue. I'd also like for this to be "additive" instead of replacing the built in language configs.

Hello, is there any way to do this 5 years later ? I have to add an lsp for every of my language, it makes the config very long

[kirawi]

It depends on #9318 and #8675

[gobijan]

yeah would be appreciated for helix-gpt and other AI plugins you would want everywhere
