Nvim lsp - change lspconfig diagnostic message location

Question

i ran into a problem, when im using neovim (+ lspconfig with hie set up), i have diagnostics info inline, but sometime, i cant read the whole line:

is there a way for me to see the whole message? i searched on the net to find a way to put the message on a floating window/status line when i hover the line, but i couldnt find a solution.

thanks for your help!

Answer 1

To disable inline text, and do a diagnostic window on hover, just put these lines into lsp config:

vim.diagnostic.config({
  virtual_text = false
})

-- Show line diagnostics automatically in hover window
vim.o.updatetime = 250
vim.cmd [[autocmd CursorHold,CursorHoldI * lua vim.diagnostic.open_float(nil, {focus=false})]]
