See `:help lspconfig-new`. When choosing a config name, convert dashes (`-`) to underscores (`_`). If the name of the server is a unique name (`pyright`, `clangd`) or a commonly used abbreviation (`zls`), prefer this as the server name. If the server instead follows the pattern x-language-server, prefer the convention `x_ls` (`jsonnet_ls`). |
