Bug ID: 447185
Summary: LSP Client should work for languages without
KSyntaxHightlighting definitions
Product: kate
Version: 21.12.0
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: jrub...@gmail.com
CC: waqar....@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Kate's LSP Client plugin matches LSP servers only on a file's Highlighting
mode, which requires a KSyntaxHighlighting .xml definition for the language.
LSP has the ability to provide syntax highlighting itself since 3.16, which
Kate has supported since 21.08.0. If a language or filetype does not have a
matching definition in KSyntaxHightlighting, you cannot use LSP.
To easily support any language with an LSP server, the LSP client plugin should
expose a few options for matching, not just the file's Highlighting mode
(highlightingModeRegex).
Kate file Modes—which are easy to author in the Settings dialog—are a good
choice. Alternatively, LSP Client could match against file extensions directly.
