[ANN] Thu. 31th: Editors dev-meeting #4, Search by type à la Sherlodoc 🕵️

We are organizing the next public dev-meeting on next Thursday, the 31th of October at 5pm CEST (we have a local speaker). Whether you are a long time maintainer, an occasional contributor, a new comer, or simply a curious passer-by, please feel free to attend!

:sparkles: For this session, @xvw is going to present a new Merlin feature: an alternative to polarity search that can search for values in the environment with a syntax similar as the one of the amazing Sherlodoc.

Search by type demo in Emacs

:clipboard: Meeting agenda:

  • A tour-de-table to allow the participants that wish to do so to present themselves and mention issues / prs they are interested in.
  • Talk and Q&A
  • Discuss issues and pull requests that were tagged in advance or mentioned during the tour-de-table.

We’re looking forward to meeting you!

@andreypopp I noticed that you added support for search-by-type to your Neovim plugin using the call_merlin_compatible, would you like to present it during the meeting, or another time ?

Also, for your information, we will soon introduce a dedicated custom query for it: Type search custom request by PizieDust · Pull Request #1369 · ocaml/ocaml-lsp · GitHub Now is a good time to chime in if you have suggestions about the interface :slight_smile:

I can do a very quick demo, though there’s almost nothing to show, it’s just a fzf menu on top of the merlin’s feature.

That’s good to hear! Will definitely make me use more of LSP machinery in the neovim’s plugin.
