Hi @w0utert

I work in the VS Code team - the experience you are having is not the experience we aspire to. It would be great to dig into this a little more and see what we can learn.

Perhaps the easiest way to have a deeper dialogue is via a GitHub issue. The easiest path to creating one is leveraging 'help->report issue' that will include some additional context that will help us dig in a little more.

We do have a plan to enable this - unfortunately it did not make 1.8 but we plan to work on it in 1.9. So you should have some additional options soon.

There are a few implementations listed here: https://github.com/Microsoft/language-server-protocol/wiki/P...

It's early days but there are a number of organizations working on this. Today one such server was demoed at DevNation by RedHat - Java via the JDT.

This was an oversight by me in a recent update - however -I've resolved it and with any luck made the statement even more visible for the users/anyone who does an update.
