SortImports

[mikez]

How does VsCode do sortImports, is this not using typescript language server?

The issue with organizeImports is that it removes "unused" classes which sometimes are used in JavaScript JSDoc annotations; I want to keep those imports. The sortImports command only sorts and doesn't remove.

I think the readme is a bit outdated. The source.sortImports.ts code action is also supported - https://github.com/typescript-language-server/typescript-language-server/blob/master/README.md#code-actions-on-save

👍 confirm that lsp_code_actions_on_save works.

Should lsp_execute with _typescript.sortImports also work? Can't make it work yet.

[rchl]

No, this is a newer functionality that doesn't have legacy _typescript.* command exposed since it should be redundant. It should be possible to invoke code action through the editor.

In the README.md, you have this example listed:

{ "keys": ["ctrl+k"], "command": "lsp_execute",
  "args": {
    "session_name": "LSP-typescript",
    "command_name": "_typescript.organizeImports",
    "command_args": ["${file}"]
  }
}

How would I setup a keyboard shortcut otherwise?

[rchl]

Actually maybe there is no direct equivalent to that.

You could do this:

    {
        "keys": ["alt+c"],
        "command": "lsp_code_actions",
        "args": {"only_kinds": ["source.sortImports.ts"]},
        "context": [{"key": "lsp.session_with_capability", "operand": "codeActionProvider.codeActionKinds"}]
    }

but that would still pop up a menu that you would have to confirm.
