Standalone language server

[kanej]

a.k.a Wen VIM?

Support the use of the language server component outside of vscode, so it can be leveraged by other editors, initially targeting vim and neovim.

Status - Experimental

We have released an experimental vim-coc extension that wraps the language server. It can be installed from here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ignored/coc-solidity

@kanej is there a way to set the formatter with the nvim lsp?

I use the following config but it ignores the forge fmt:

  solidity_ls_nomicfoundation = {
    settings = {
      solidity = {
        formatter = { "forge" }      
      }
    }
  },

thank you in advance 🙏
