# lsp_signature.nvim

Show function signature when you type

- This nvim plugin is made for completion plugins that do not support signature help. Need neovim-0.8+ and enable
nvim-lsp. (check neovim-0.5/neovim-0.6/neovim-0.9 branch for earlier version support)

- Inspired by [completion-nvim](https://github.com/nvim-lua/completion-nvim), which does have lots of cool features.

- Fully asynchronous lsp buf request.

- Virtual text available

##### Golang with markdown

Highlight with "Search"

##### Lua

![lua](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1681295/109505092-5b73fd80-7af0-11eb-9ec7-15b297c6e3be.png?raw=true "lua")

#### The plugin also re-write the builtin lsp signature allow the parameter highlight

signature_with_virtual_hint

#### Using virtual text to show the next parameter

![virtual_hint](https://github.com/ray-x/files/blob/master/img/signature/virtual_text.jpg?raw=true "show_virtual_text")

#### Virtual text only mode

(from @fdioguardi)

virtual_text_only

#### Multiple signatures

In case some of the languages allow function overload, the plugin will show all available signatures

multiple_signature
signature2

To switch between the signatures, use `select_signature_key`

# Install:

```vim
" dein
dein#add('ray-x/lsp_signature.nvim')

" plug
Plug 'ray-x/lsp_signature.nvim'

" Packer
use {
"ray-x/lsp_signature.nvim",
}

" Lazy
{
"ray-x/lsp_signature.nvim",
event = "VeryLazy",
opts = {},
config = function(_, opts) require'lsp_signature'.setup(opts) end
}
```

# Setup / Attach the plugin

In your init.lua, call setup()

```lua
local cfg = {…} -- add your config here
require "lsp_signature".setup(cfg)
```

Alternatively, call `on_attach(cfg, bufnr)` when the LSP client attaches to a buffer

e.g. gopls:

```lua
local golang_setup = {
on_attach = function(client, bufnr)

require "lsp_signature".on_attach(signature_setup, bufnr) -- Note: add in lsp client on-attach

end,

}

require'lspconfig'.gopls.setup(golang_setup)
```

Or use the newer `LspAttach` autocommands. The following example enables signatures for any attached language server:

```lua
vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("LspAttach", {
callback = function(args)
local bufnr = args.buf
local client = vim.lsp.get_client_by_id(args.data.client_id)
if vim.tbl_contains({ 'null-ls' }, client.name) then -- blacklist lsp
return
end
require("lsp_signature").on_attach({
-- ... setup options here ...
}, bufnr)
end,
})
```

If you using Lazy.nvim, you can pass the config in the `opts` table:

```lua
{
"ray-x/lsp_signature.nvim",
event = "InsertEnter",
opts = {
bind = true,
handler_opts = {
border = "rounded"
}
},
config = function(_, opts) require'lsp_signature'.setup(opts) end
}
```

## Configure

### Floating window borders

If you have a recent enough build of Neovim, you can configure borders in the signature help floating window(Thanks
[@Gabriel Sanches](https://github.com/gbrlsnchs) for the PR):

```lua
local example_setup = {
on_attach = function(client, bufnr)

require "lsp_signature".on_attach({
bind = true,
handler_opts = {
border = "rounded"
}
}, bufnr)

end,

}
```

Or:

```lua
require'lspconfig'.gopls.setup()
require "lsp_signature".setup({
bind = true,
handler_opts = {
border = "rounded"
}
})
```

### Keymap

No default keymaps are provided. There are two keymaps available in config:

1. toggle_key: Toggle the signature help window. It manual toggle config.floating_windows on/off
2. select_signature_key: Select the current signature when multiple signature is available.

#### Customize the keymap in your config:

- To toggle floating windows in `Normal` mode, you need either define a keymap to `vim.lsp.buf.signature_help()` or
`require('lsp_signature').toggle_float_win()`

e.g.

```lua
vim.keymap.set({ 'n' }, '', function() require('lsp_signature').toggle_float_win()
end, { silent = true, noremap = true, desc = 'toggle signature' })

vim.keymap.set({ 'n' }, 'k', function()
vim.lsp.buf.signature_help()
end, { silent = true, noremap = true, desc = 'toggle signature' })
```

### Full configuration (with default values)

```lua
cfg = {
debug = false, -- set to true to enable debug logging
log_path = vim.fn.stdpath("cache") .. "/lsp_signature.log", -- log dir when debug is on
-- default is ~/.cache/nvim/lsp_signature.log
verbose = false, -- show debug line number

bind = true, -- This is mandatory, otherwise border config won't get registered.
-- If you want to hook lspsaga or other signature handler, pls set to false
doc_lines = 10, -- will show two lines of comment/doc(if there are more than two lines in doc, will be truncated);
-- set to 0 if you DO NOT want any API comments be shown
-- This setting only take effect in insert mode, it does not affect signature help in normal
-- mode, 10 by default

max_height = 12, -- max height of signature floating_window
max_width = 80, -- max_width of signature floating_window, line will be wrapped if exceed max_width
-- the value need >= 40
wrap = true, -- allow doc/signature text wrap inside floating_window, useful if your lsp return doc/sig is too long
floating_window = true, -- show hint in a floating window, set to false for virtual text only mode

floating_window_above_cur_line = true, -- try to place the floating above the current line when possible Note:
-- will set to true when fully tested, set to false will use whichever side has more space
-- this setting will be helpful if you do not want the PUM and floating win overlap

floating_window_off_x = 1, -- adjust float windows x position.
-- can be either a number or function
floating_window_off_y = 0, -- adjust float windows y position. e.g -2 move window up 2 lines; 2 move down 2 lines
-- can be either number or function, see examples

close_timeout = 4000, -- close floating window after ms when laster parameter is entered
fix_pos = false, -- set to true, the floating window will not auto-close until finish all parameters
hint_enable = true, -- virtual hint enable
hint_prefix = "🐼 ", -- Panda for parameter, NOTE: for the terminal not support emoji, might crash
-- or, provide a table with 3 icons
-- hint_prefix = {
-- above = "↙ ", -- when the hint is on the line above the current line
-- current = "← ", -- when the hint is on the same line
-- below = "↖ " -- when the hint is on the line below the current line
-- }
hint_scheme = "String",
hint_inline = function() return false end, -- should the hint be inline(nvim 0.10 only)? default false
-- return true | 'inline' to show hint inline, return 'eol' to show hint at end of line, return false to disable
-- return 'right_align' to display hint right aligned in the current line
hi_parameter = "LspSignatureActiveParameter", -- how your parameter will be highlight
handler_opts = {
border = "rounded" -- double, rounded, single, shadow, none, or a table of borders
},

always_trigger = false, -- sometime show signature on new line or in middle of parameter can be confusing, set it to false for #58

auto_close_after = nil, -- autoclose signature float win after x sec, disabled if nil.
extra_trigger_chars = {}, -- Array of extra characters that will trigger signature completion, e.g., {"(", ","}
zindex = 200, -- by default it will be on top of all floating windows, set to <= 50 send it to bottom

padding = '', -- character to pad on left and right of signature can be ' ', or '|' etc

transparency = nil, -- disabled by default, allow floating win transparent value 1~100
shadow_blend = 36, -- if you using shadow as border use this set the opacity
shadow_guibg = 'Black', -- if you using shadow as border use this set the color e.g. 'Green' or '#121315'
timer_interval = 200, -- default timer check interval set to lower value if you want to reduce latency
toggle_key = nil, -- toggle signature on and off in insert mode, e.g. toggle_key = ''
toggle_key_flip_floatwin_setting = false, -- true: toggle floating_windows: true|false setting after toggle key pressed
-- false: floating_windows setup will not change, toggle_key will pop up signature helper, but signature
-- may not popup when typing depends on floating_window setting

select_signature_key = nil, -- cycle to next signature, e.g. '' function overloading
move_cursor_key = nil, -- imap, use nvim_set_current_win to move cursor between current win and floating window
-- e.g. move_cursor_key = '',
-- once moved to floating window, you can use , to move cursor up and down
keymaps = {} -- relate to move_cursor_key; the keymaps inside floating window with arguments of bufnr
-- e.g. keymaps = function(bufnr) vim.keymap.set(...) end
-- it can be function that set keymaps
-- e.g. keymaps = { { 'j', 'j' }, } this map j to j in floating window
-- and are default keymaps to move cursor up and down
}

-- recommended:
require'lsp_signature'.setup(cfg) -- no need to specify bufnr if you don't use toggle_key

-- You can also do this inside lsp on_attach
-- note: on_attach deprecated
require'lsp_signature'.on_attach(cfg, bufnr) -- no need to specify bufnr if you don't use toggle_key
```

### Signature in status line

Sample config

API

```lua
require("lsp_signature").status_line(max_width)
```

return a table

```lua
{
label = 'func fun_name(arg1, arg2…)'
hint = 'arg1',
range = {start = 13, ['end'] = 17 }
doc = 'func_name return arg1 + arg2 …'
}
```

In your statusline or winbar

```lua
local current_signature = function(width)
if not pcall(require, 'lsp_signature') then return end
local sig = require("lsp_signature").status_line(width)
return sig.label .. "🐼" .. sig.hint
end
```

![signature in status line](https://i.redd.it/b842vy1dm6681.png)

#### set floating windows position based on cursor position

```lua
-- cfg = {…} -- add you config here
local cfg = {
floating_window_off_x = 5, -- adjust float windows x position.
floating_window_off_y = function() -- adjust float windows y position. e.g. set to -2 can make floating window move up 2 lines
local linenr = vim.api.nvim_win_get_cursor(0)[1] -- buf line number
local pumheight = vim.o.pumheight
local winline = vim.fn.winline() -- line number in the window
local winheight = vim.fn.winheight(0)

-- window top
if winline - 1 < pumheight then
return pumheight
end

-- window bottom
if winheight - winline < pumheight then
return -pumheight
end
return 0
end,
}
require "lsp_signature".setup(cfg)
```

### Should signature floating windows fixed

fix_pos can be a function, it took two element, first is the signature result for your signature, second is lsp client.

You can provide a function.

e.g.

```lua
fix_pos = function(signatures, lspclient)
if signatures[1].activeParameter >= 0 and #signatures[1].parameters == 1 then
return false
end
if lspclient.name == 'sumneko_lua' then
return true
end
return false
end
```

### Sample config with cmp, luasnipet and autopair

### Q&A:

Q: What is the default colorscheme in screenshot:

A: [aurora](https://github.com/ray-x/aurora)

Q: I can not see border after enable border = "single"/"rounded"

A: Try another colorscheme (e.g. colorscheme aurora, or colorscheme luna). If issue persists, please submit an issue

Q: It is not working 😡

A: Here is some trouble shooting: https://github.com/ray-x/lsp_signature.nvim/issues/1

If you are using JDTLS, please read this: issue [#97](https://github.com/ray-x/lsp_signature.nvim/issues/97)

Q:I do not like the pop window background highlight, how to change it?

A: Redefine your `NormalFloat` and `FloatBorder`, esp if your colorscheme dose not define it.

Q: How to change parameter highlight

A: By default, the highlight is using "LspSignatureActiveParameter" defined in your colorscheme, you can either override
"LspSignatureActiveParameter" or define, e.g. use `IncSearch` setup({ hi_parameter = "IncSearch"})

Q: I can not see 🐼 in virtual text

A: It is emoji, not nerdfont. Please check how to enable emoji for your terminal.

Q: Working with cmp/coq. The floating windows block cmp/coq

A: A few options here, z-index, floating_window_above_cur_line, floating_window_off_x/y, toggle_key. You can find the
best setup for your workflow.
