Think we can do this from #113

I went through #113 and #147. I'm still unsure how to see workspace symbols using LanguageClient-neovim. I had opened autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim#696 and got redirected here.

Pretty expensive to implement, not sure there's huge upside atm

Does that mean that this feature is out of scope for this LS or just that there is currently no interest to add it?

[gatesn]

Happy to implement it if there's sufficient interest. But I think it would require leaning more heavily on Rope and I'm not sure the Rope integration is particularly well battle-tested.

[dkasak]

Gotcha, thanks for the clarification.

if there's sufficient interest

Your interest or interest from the users? If it's the latter, I can say that I miss this feature a lot. I use it often in VSCode (MPLS) and I wish it were in vim as well.

FWIW, I do think this feature is invaluable when exploring an unfamiliar codebase. It's extremely useful to be able to get a quick overview of all the places a symbol is used.

A poor man's replacement via grep and friends obviously works, but it's nice not to have to weed out the false positives.

Can you checkout the #507 branch and see if it works for you?
