Garbage collector that stops inactive LSP clients to free RAM

In many scenarios, unmanaged LSP clients running on background can take several Gb of RAM. So I wrote this LSP garbage collector forNormalNvim to auto free it. But you can use it on any distro.

Add this to lazy

{"zeioth/garbage-day.nvim",dependencies="neovim/nvim-lspconfig",event="VeryLazy",opts= {-- your options here  }},

We also support changing opts on execution time like:let g:garbage_day_config['option']='value'

You can tweak them in case some particular LSP client don't start/stop correctly on your machine.

IMPORTANT: If you change the default values, make sure the value ofgrace_period is always bigger thantimeout/1000. This ensures you are leaving enough time betweenstop_lsp()/start_lsp(), so they don't overlap.

• If it doesn't work This plugin has been tested with neovim 0.10 and 0.11. If you are in a neovim version superior to nvim 0.11, and it doesn't work, pleaseopen a issue tagging me and I will fix it.
• Can I manually trigger garbage collection? Yes, you can do it like

require("garbage-day.utils").stop_lsp()-- stop all lsp clients.require("garbage-day.utils").start_lsp()-- start lsp clients for the current buffer.

If you want to help me, please star this repository to increase the visibility of the project.

• lsp-timeout: Recommended for nvim versions<=0.8
