LSP + Markdown, marksman.exe, iwes.exe…

[MiroslavMatas]

first of all - have no idea what is LSP, or how it works, what can do for me… just - want to learn it… have a feeling - it can be useful : - )

first attempt - marksman.exe, based on this wiki - https://wiki.freepascal.org/CudaText/LSP_Client#Markdown

16sec.mp4

something works, but have no idea if it is ok, or not, or what I can expect…

on very simple case, e.g. GoTo Definition… I can see new window… ok or not? /no error message at stderr/

if I will understand how it works on this, https://wiki.freepascal.org/CudaText/LSP_Client#Markdown, than I want to switch to IWE…

Here I tried it. Installed marksman.exe to C:\utils (this dir is in the PATH). made settings/lsp_md.json. Installed LSP Client.

made file c:\work\example_lsp.md:

[reference][abcd]
[reference][a123]

Some text.

[abcd]: url "title"
[a123]: url "title2"

Now how it works for me

• click on line-2 [a123], context menu, 'Go to definition' -> it jumps to the bottom line for [a123], all OK, no errors, not warnings in the LSP log panel, no strange popup windows.
• hover mouse (with CTRL) over [a123] - popup shows

---

you have strange window with buttons. some other plugin?

[Alexey-T]

ah, LSP Client integrates with Embedded_Editor, it calls Emb_Editor when wants to open a file. it is OK. I only don't get why your video shows the errors in the LSP log. that is not OK.

very appreciate your guidance, many thanks for your effort

disabling calling embedded editor is not possible to stop via usage of plugin_disabled - am I right?

I can see hover popup window… but only once, it cannot be repeated…
can you display the hover popup twice?

right.

can you display the hover popup twice?

with CTRL pressed LSP often fails to show popup.
so I set cuda_lsp.json option "hover_with_ctrl": false,, and I can show popup N times.
