Thanks to Jonathan Poelen for the patch! + +[Language Server Protocol (LSP)](/posts/kate-lsp-client-progress/) would help, too, but my initial work is far from usable, help appreciated. +Beside a hacked "goto definition" nothing works at the moment (and it is hardcoded to just start clangd, no other LSP server). |
