you can change it with lsp-keymap-prefix

for doom-emacs the prefix is SPC c l for example

for me on macos, s-l is Cmd-l

using the homebrew emacs-plus recipe

i just did this and it worked for me

(use-package lsp-mode
    :ensure t
    :hook ((clojure-mode . lsp)
           (clojurec-mode . lsp)
           (clojurescript-mode . lsp))
    :init
    (setq lsp-keymap-prefix "C-M-l")
    :config
    (setq lsp-enable-indentation nil)
    (setq lsp-enable-file-watchers nil) ;; annoying and i can't specify paths
    ;; add paths to your local installation of project mgmt tools, like lein
    (dolist (m '(clojure-mode
                 clojurec-mode
                 clojurescript-mode
                 clojurex-mode))
       (add-to-list 'lsp-language-id-configuration `(,m . "clojure"))))

having it in init is sufficient for me

Might be something to do with straight.el, but setting it init like that definitely doesn't work for me. Odd.

Seems to be a common issue that people run into, though: https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode/issues/1672. The define-key thing is recommended here, but I still don't understand why ☝️ works for you, but not me.

Probably straight.el is loading the package before use-package does? I recall there were some strange interactions if you use both managers together

the .clj-kondo dir is already ignored by default on lsp-mode, I'll add the shadow-cljs as well

the lsp-mode watches all files under the project root. with cljs projects this can get enormous with vendored projects, npm_bundle directory, cljs compilation output, etc

@U11BV7MTK Do you known common dirs to be excluded for cljs projects? then I can add to default ignore list of lsp-mode

honestly i think the correct answer is a way to specify directories to watch

otherwise it'll always be a game of whack-a-mole

yeah, it makes sense

watch-directories: src, shared-src or whatever

attempt was made here: https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode/pull/1829

LGTM the idea, why it was closed?

i closed it when i noticed it had been a year

i didn't know how multi-projects impacted it and i switched jobs and ended up not using lsp for a bit. i've finally readded it and just turned off the watchers

Alright, I'll bring that issue again and try to understand if we can make it happen

i think someone mentioned that lsp servers can be configured to report what they are watching. this might be an alternative

i don't remember the details of it though

clojure-lsp don't handle that, it should be configured on lsp-mode ATM, meanwhile, what are the common dirs for cljs libs?

why that wouldn't work for you?

what do you mean common dirs for cljs libs?

like classpath roots?

no, like folders we don't want to filewatchers, like .clj-kondo .shadow-cljs

is there any more common lib folders from famous cljs frameworks you remember?

node_modules for sure. anywhere there could be cljs output, and that is an arbitrary property to the cljs compiler. anywhere there could be vendored js, anywhere you might have lots of translations files (again arbitrary)

i think your question is how could we create a blacklist of random files that aren't clojure source files and i don't think that there's any good answer to that question

node_modules is already excluded: https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode/blob/master/lsp-mode.el#L318

> anywhere there could be vendored js, anywhere you might have lots of translations files (again arbitrary) I agree, but we can reduce that adding those known folders, is not easy to have more than 10000 compiled js/otherfiles

looking at just the top level of our project, i see .babel_cache, docs, locales, resources, and target as dirs that have lots of files that shouldn't be watched

nice, target is excluded already, I think we can add .babel_cache along with .shadow-cljs

ah, think I updated lsp-mode, but maybe was on an older version, which didn't have .clj-kondo for ignore

I wondered where the files came from, then scripted some stats:

for d in `find . -maxdepth 1 -type d | sort`; do echo $d; find $d | wc -l; done

maybe could even include a script like that in the lsp-mode docs to help people uncover hidden black holes of stuff in project directory 😄

Yeah, you are the second person to ask for the same thing this week, I'll try to improve lsp-mode log to log the folders scanned into lsp-log buffer

@U06QSF3BK https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode/pull/2779

nice, thank you! 🙂

I also went to lsp logs to get to that watch info, then checking project directories and adding filters to lsp-mode configuration, until I got below the default 1000 file limit warning. This logging will be helpful in the future I think 🙂

yeah, also I added .shadow-cljs, babel cache folders to default ignore list

Nice! Better defaults make people trip less 🙂 (takes a bit of time to get good defaults, in a case like this)

Merged @U06QSF3BK

Thank you! I had tried clojure-lsp in Emacs a couple of times, might have been other reasons earlier that I gave up, but got a hang of that dir watch this time and then it just occurred to me that might even post that observation to Clojurians Slack. I guess it was just good timing that things end up as improvement into lsp-mode, this make me happy 🙂

Glad to hear it :)
