buffer-language-server

Warning This is just a proof-of-concept. Does not support Unicode (yet).

Language server that can autocomplete words found in the current buffer.

This is primary made for the Helix editor which currently lacks this functionality. See https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/1063

Currently, it can only autocomplete the words[^1] found in the current buffer.

Install

Cargo

bash cargo install buffer-language-server

From source

bash cargo install --git https://github.com/metafates/buffer-language-server

Use in your editor

Helix

If you are using the stable version (<= 23.05), which doesn't support multiple language servers yet, add these lines to your languages.toml (if you want to enable this LSP for the markdown files)

toml [[language]] name = "markdown" language-server = { command = "buffer-language-server" }

Otherwise (you will need the Helix editor compiled from the HEAD [latest commit])

Add these lines to your languages.toml

toml [language-server.buffer-language-server] command = "buffer-language-server"

Then you can use it as an additional language server.

```toml [[language]] name = "markdown" language-servers = ["buffer-language-server"]

[[language]] name = "my-language" language-servers = ["buffer-language-server"] ```
