dotsies VS eglot

OP here. The linked tweaks are straight from my config. I can try help work out why it doesn’t look the same for ya. Would need to see your elisp snippets. May be easier to discuss on GitHub. Maybe open an issue on https://github.com/xenodium/dotsies

You can also checkout https://xenodium.com and his profile: https://github.com/xenodium/dotsies/tree/main/emacs

UI customizations at https://github.com/xenodium/dotsies/blob/main/emacs/features/fe-mac.el and https://github.com/xenodium/dotsies/blob/main/emacs/features/fe-ui.el

For some of the details you are welcome to look at and pick from my Swift/Eglot config. I use it on a daily basis and it is generally functional. Although you notice I'm not distributing it as its own package: I don't really warrant it works anywhere but my machines. ;) I also have an assortment of helpers for Xcode documents. You should also look at u/xenodium's config and other repos; I know there are some interesting SwiftUI helpers in there.

Yep. This works too. I had a similar function https://github.com/xenodium/dotsies/commit/c939802f64e4d97800f350b5c88ce83e4da40bc1 but now delegating to atool instead.

The demo gif is one of the use cases. Being DWIM, there are a bunch more at https://xenodium.com/emacs-dwim-shell-command and code at https://github.com/xenodium/dotsies/blob/main/emacs/ar/dwim-shell-command.el

Went through a similar exercise some years ago and landed on a use-package solution https://github.com/xenodium/dotsies/tree/main/emacs (see init.el and early-init.el) broken down into related modules https://github.com/xenodium/dotsies/tree/main/emacs/features It’s one of many ways of doing it. Held up so far.

In short, it’s a frankenstenian hack of sorts I’ll likely regret at some point, but at the moment fairly maintenance-free. If I haven’t succeeded in dissuading a peek, the code is here

I have swiftlint and swift-format https://github.com/xenodium/dotsies/blob/main/emacs/features/fe-swift.el

Recently I stumbled upon this issue:

https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/discussions/1127

I don't know enough about emacs and LSP to see the full picture, but it seems that both eglot's and corfu's maintainers, assumably very competent programmers, can't find a solution for this.

I only skimmed the thread. My understanding is that LSP dumps a long list of completion candidates at once and they can't decide a cache strategy that works well with existing code...?

It could be. There are unfixed issues with eglot and corfu, and sadly not a lot of willingness to investigate.

Eglot errors when I add new Python code blocks. The error disappears when I reconnect the language server, but the same happens again when I add a new code block. My "workaround" now is that before I start working on the .qmd file, I just add a bunch of Python code blocks (for which I also have a function) and then reconnect the language server again. This way I can start working for a while until I need to add more code blocks again.

This discussion has helped with some performance issues: https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/discussions/993.

I guess eglot doesn't support it yet: https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/pull/839

This is not by pure chance, João is the developer of the Eglot LSP client and the breadcrumbs from LSP-mode had been requested as a feature, but as far as I remember João thought rightfully that this could be an independent package, see https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/discussions/988

A substantial section of the community is using corfu instead of company, but I wouldn't say company is out of date by any means. In emacs 29 eglot will be a built in, which might act as a replacement for lsp-mode depending on what functionality you need.

I am currently running emacs 29 (built from emacs-29 branch) which – according to https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot – should contain the latest eglot.

Yep. You can use flymake or flycheck for that in combination with eglot or lsp-mode.

(I have reported this (that is, ElDoc missing docs for callable things at point, when Eglot is enabled) as an issue recently: First on GitHub-discussions https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/discussions/1200, then on Debbugs https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=62687. But the threads are very long, so I don't recommend reading them.)
