feature request: disable LSP file methods

Describe the feature

I would love to turn off the LSP file methods completely.

Provide background

I work in a large repository where those operations are too slow to ever complete successfully. Trying to complete them sometimes leaves the file tree in a chaotic messy state. In the worst case it has caused me to lose a file altogether.

What is the significance of this feature?

nice to have

Additional details

For now I'm setting timeout_ms=1.

I've made some modifications locally, and I think I got something working. My modification just adds an enable option to the existing lsp_file_methods. When disabled, it won't perform the lsp actions.

Before I would do a pull request though, I had a question. Would it be possible to just disable these capabilities for the project you are working on?

• workspace.fileOperations.willCreate
• workspace.fileOperations.willRename
• workspace.fileOperations.willDelete

I think it would be easier to just have a flag in the oil config, but I thought I would pose the question first.

Any thoughts?

[chnn]

Yeah, I think either disabling the capabilities or adding the oil config flag would work. The oil config flag is definitely easier!

Hi @chnn! I've pushed the changes to my branch. Would you mind pulling my version and giving it a test?

You can set the lsp_file_methods:enable to false to disable it. Let me know if that fixes things for you.

@csponge Gave it a whirl, seems to be working great! I'll continue testing it in day-to-day work

since #477 was merged, can we close this issue?
