[Feature request] toggle language servers about lsp HOT 6 CLOSED

Agree, this is a must-have as currently LSP is an always-on setup.
What solutions do you think will work best?

• A command that writes a project-specific setting to disable a language server by name?
• The ability to configure a language server at the project level instead of at the package level?

I guess there should be an option to disable a server globally via LSP.sublime-settings and also a project specific setting to enable/disable certain servers.

For the LSP.sublime-settings, something like

{
  "clients":
      "pyls":
      {
        "enable": false,
        "command": ["pyls"],
        "scopes": ["source.python"],
        "syntaxes": ["Packages/Python/Python.sublime-syntax"],
        "languageId": "python"
      }
}

plus a toggle command LSP: Toggle Servers Globally should be sufficient.

As for the project settings, we can add a key LSP, and all settings from LSP.sublime-settings will be honored from this key. A project aware command like LSP: Toggle Servers for current project may be useful.

The configuration to support this was merged in #74.
There is some discussion about what the default language server configuration should look like in #76.
It would be nice to say Enable or Disable instead of Toggle, but unsure how specific the name of a command in the quick panel can be? (The "Restart Servers" command should perhaps also say "LSP - Restart pyls" for example)

from lsp.

Enabling ane disabling the servers do make more sense. I also found "Restart Servers" confusing, does it restart all running servers or just restart the server of the current window!?

May be this?

• LSP: Enable Server Globally
• LSP: Disable Server Globally
• LSP: Enable Server for Current Project
• LSP: Disable Server for Current Project
• LSP: Restart Server of Current Window Project

I also note that you are loading the project settings from the key LSP of view.settings. I think it should be window.project_data.

Yes, those look like good suggestions, including using window.project_data, thanks!
I've started some work on making these commands part of a first-time setup flow.

#119 added Enable/Disable language server Globally / in Project.
Please let me know if it doesn't work as expected!
