[Question] LSP hover information and dependencies navigation functionalities

[pidgeon777]

As a language server, HDL Checker will provide

1 - Diagnostics 2 - Hover information

• Dependencies: will report which path and library have been assigned
• Design units: will report the compilation sequence and libraries

3 - Go to definition of dependencies

How would it be possible to make use of features 2 and 3 in Vim or similar (for example, Neovim)?

Best regards

Depends on how HDL checker is integrated (Ale/lspconfig/coc etc).

E.g., for lspconfig, the following configuration is recommended in the lspconfig readme:

buf_set_keymap('n', 'gD', '<cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.declaration()<CR>', opts)
buf_set_keymap('n', 'gd', '<cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.definition()<CR>', opts)
buf_set_keymap('n', 'K', '<cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.hover()<CR>', opts)

That would allow hover with 'K' and go to definition with 'gd'. For e.g. VHDL, this works when hovering over the entity name in an instantiation.

Coc, ale and others have their own commands listed in their respective readmes.
