prefiltered symbol picker

[mejo13]

Hey, i thought about a filtered symbol picker, which lets you choose what symbolkind to show. After some experimenting and testing i ended up whith this (Video).
It works like intended but there are issuses:

• the layout of the pickers is wrong, it covers the whole area
• its blocking, i never worked with async code before so i just skipped that for now
• it depends on non default lsp settings to work as intended!

The first two issues should be solvable. The third is not so easy to work around, afaik there is no way to overwrite the default lsp settings per call. Currently i use these settings:

rust-analyzer.workspace.symbol.search.kind = "all_symbols"
rust-analyzer.workspace.symbol.search.limit = 8192
rust-analyzer.workspace.symbol.search.scope = "workspace"

They of course mess with the normal symbol pickers!
So why this discussion then? I wanted to check if someone else is working on something similar and get thoughts and ideas from other poeple.

Thanks for reading. Have nice day. mejo
