Explore implementing a semantic search custom request

vinistock commented 1 year ago

Explore adding the possibility for the user to insert a pattern expression, which then sends a request to the server, the server finds all matches and allows the user to cycle through them.

Think something like

Some hotkey trigger a command that opens an input box, the user adds an expression like var_ref (ident ("my_var"))
Upon submit, a request is sent and the Ruby LSP finds all occurrences matching the expression, returning a list of locations
The extension then allows the user to cycle through all results

Ruby LSP finds all occurrences matching the expression

Between this and #61 we may want to investigate a way to index the code in the project to provide fast lookups.
