How to get better results from LSP?

[pintassilgo]

For instance, JavaScript. I did as inscructed here. By installing typescript and typescript-language-server, it also enabled LSP for Kate (KDE Plasma default code editor) because the editor uses this server by default when it's installed.

But, for some reason, sometimes Kate autocomplete suggestions are better than Cuda. Example:

Kate:

CudaText:

Anyone who has ever coded JS for webapp knows how often you need to use document.querySelector. On the other hand, I've never seen anyone using document.queryCommandEnabled. Instead of a purely alphabetical sorting as Cuda is doing, I want the relevance sorting as Kate does. As I said, both are using the same LSP server.

Similarly, if I type document.qs, Kate still suggests document.querySelector, while Cuda has nothing to suggest.

Maybe @veksha knows something, please? I do not..

@pintassilgo
cuda_lsp was updated, update yours, now it works as you expect:

grey ones means that those methods are deprecated (similar to how vscode show it)

@pintassilgo also asked this

Similarly, if I type document.qs, Kate still suggests document.querySelector, while Cuda has nothing to suggest.

does it work for you with e.g. Typescript, @badrelmers ?

[badrelmers]

@Alexey-T
yes it works fine with Typescript files too, exactly the same as Javascript files

[pintassilgo]

Hey, thank you, it's better now.

What about the last part?

Similarly, if I type document.qs, Kate still suggests document.querySelector, while Cuda has nothing to suggest.

This one is still not working as expected in Cuda. Also reported in #5511.

@pintassilgo
fuzzy matching was just added, update cuda_lsp.

@badrelmers
in Python server pylsp.

f=open('a.txt', 'w')
f.w|

autocompletion suggests 'write', 'writable'. OK.
now I type

f.wi|

to fuzzy-find the 'write'. but autocompeltion don't show anything. why?

[badrelmers]

@Alexey-T
it seems that you are not using "jedi_completion": { "fuzzy": true } in the LSP config file lsp_py.json

i just disable it now and i got the same result as you:

without jedi_completion:

it gave only 4 suggestions for f.w

and gaves nothing for f.wi

with jedi_completion:

it gaves 9 suggestions for f.w

and works fine with f.wi

so add it to your python lsp config file:

{
  "lexers": {
    "Python": "python"
  },
  "cmd_windows": ["pylsp.exe"],

  "settings": {
    "pylsp": {
      "plugins": {
        "jedi_completion": { "fuzzy": true },
      }
    }
  }
}
