Optional LSP

[egorchakov]

Hey folks 👋 Helix has been my daily driver for several months now after a decade of (neo)vim and I'm a fan!

I often have to switch between several Python projects/virtualenvs with different LSPs installed (e.g. project A with pyright and project B with pylsp). Is there a way of handling this workflow more gracefully than toggling lines in languages.toml every time I switch between projects? Perhaps some kind of an optional LSP feature?

A simplified version of my current languages.toml:

[[language]]
name = "python"
scope = "source.python"
language-servers = [
  { name = "pyright" },
  { name = "pylsp" },
]

[language-server.pyright]
command = "pyright-langserver"
args = ["--stdio"]

[language-server.pylsp]
command = "pylsp"

You can create the .helix/languages.toml file inside every project directory. Its settings will be merged with the global configuration.
