Filter imenu (consult-imenu) items

[gjm]

Hi.

I know this is not a Doom specific or related question but I was wondering if someone can help me out on this.

In the latest Doom release, imenu (or consult) changed what items are scanned and included and I get a lot of unnecessary "noise" when I use consult-imenu (C-c s i).

I'm a PHP developer and when I invoke consult-imenu (my use-case is to quickly jump to method definitions), while previously I got the namespace entry, the class name entry and methods (with visibility included), I now get also all variables in all methods and no method visibility information.

My question is, can filter out some entries, namely the variables? It adds too much noise and, IMO, no real added value.

If I can, somehow, also get back the visibility information of each method that would also be great.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, just saw your issues as I was having the same.

I don't have a hands-on solution yet, but I've dug a little into it, so here's my finding and potential solutions.

Basically imenu use some functions (look at the variable imenu-index-create-function) that you can define to create its menu.

By default, if you're using eglot (which I guess is where the issues come from), imenu uses the function eglot-imenu.

So the first solution is to tell eglot not to configure imenu and instead use treesitter modes for example.
I'm pretty sure if you just:

(add-to-list 'eglot-stay-out-of 'imenu)

the default should fit your need.
If you want to customize it (you can take a look here for details: https://dnaeon.github.io/eglot-treesitter-imenu/)

Otherwise it seems like there are some people working on doing basically the same for eglot
See here joaotavora/eglot#1514 as well as in the referenced discussion

@Rathur421 thanks for your reply.

I'm not using eglot. I use lsp-mode so your workaround doesn't really fit my use case.

Thanks anyway.
