Mark unused attributes? #273

Closed wmertens closed 2 years ago

wmertens commented 2 years ago

I'm wondering if this extension can somehow leverage rnix-lsp to find out which attributes are unused in an expression.

Example:

let a=5; b=true; in b

would mark a as unused.

I've not terribly familiar with language servers but just wanted to add that using nil, as mentioned in #274, marks attributes as unused (see inputs and pkgs in the screenshot below). So my guess is that whatever change needs to happen, should happen in rnix-lsp.

As @hall has mentioned, the info would come from LSP servers.
