fix(lsp,tree-sitter): void-function lsp!/tree-sitter! errors
These are autodefs, meaning they should be defined whether or not the
containing module is enabled, but they should no-op when it's disabled,
by defining a no-op macro with the same name. However, lsp! and
tree-sitter! are meant to be used as hooks, and you can't use macros as
hooks, so you get void-function errors when they are used as such.

This ensures they are properly defined as no-op functions in those
cases. I.e.

  ;;;###autodef FORM

FORM is used instead of a no-op macro if the parent module is disabled.

Description

This module adds tree-sitter support to doom:

Tree sitter is a parser generator tool and an incremental parsing library. It can build a concrete syntax tree for a source file and efficiently update the syntax tree as the source file is edited. This allows for features of the editor to become syntax aware.

It includes:

  • Better syntax highlighting of supported languages
  • Structural text objects to manipulate functions statements and other code structures like any other text object

Prerequisites

This module has no prerequisites.

Features

Language support

Currently Emacs tree sitter has got parsers for these languages with syntax highlighting support for these languages as well as typescript-tsx-mode To enable tree sitter for individual languages add the +tree-sitter flag. Check the module readme of your language for support.

Text Objects

Not all language support all text objects (yet). Here is a table of the text objects languages support Note: only languages with parsers in emacs have text object support currently. Currently text objects are bound to:

key text object
A parameter list
f function definition
F function call
C class
c comment
v conditional
l loop

They are used in a container context (not vf but vaf or vif)

Goto certain nodes

you can also jump to the next / previous node type in a buffer by using [g or ]g respectfully, the following key will correspond to the text object you want to jump to Currently keys are bound to:

key text object
a parameter list
f function
F function call
c comment
C class
v conditional
l loop

Configuration

Disable text objects for certain modes

If you wish to disable tree sitter text objects then you can just remove +tree-sitter-keys-mode from the language mode hook, for example if we did not want it for ruby we would use this snippet

(remove-hook 'ruby-mode-hook #'+tree-sitter-keys-mode)

Rebinding text objects

Rebinding keys is the same as any other key but do notes they need to be bound to the keymaps +tree-sitter-inner-text-object-map or +tree-sitter-outer-text-object-map

(map! (:map +tree-sitter-outer-text-objects-map
       "f" nil
       "f" (evil-textobj-tree-sitter-get-textobj "call.inner")
       "F" nil
       "F" (evil-textobj-tree-sitter-get-textobj "function.inner"))
      (:map +tree-sitter-inner-text-objects-map
       "f" nil
       "f" (evil-textobj-tree-sitter-get-textobj "call.inner")
       "F" nil
       "F" (evil-textobj-tree-sitter-get-textobj "function.inner")))

Adding your own text objects

If you wish to add your own custom text objects then you need to bind them and add them to the +tree-sitter-{inner, outer}-text-objects-map for example:

(map! (:map +tree-sitter-outer-text-objects-map
       "m" (evil-textobj-tree-sitter-get-textobj "import"
             '((python-mode . [(import_statement) @import])
               (rust-mode . [(use_declaration) @import])))))

Disabling highlighting for certain modes

If you want to disable highlighting by default you can add a

(after! MODE-PACKAGE
  (tree-sitter-hl-mode -1))

If you only want it for certain modes then

(remove-hook 'tree-sitter-after-on-hook #'tree-sitter-hl-mode)

(add-hook 'MAJOR-MODE-HOOK #'tree-sitter-hl-mode)

Troubleshooting

(error "Bad bounding indices: 0, 1")

This means that the text object does not have the underlying query needed, this can be fixed by either adding in a custom query (which would override the current key bound.) or contributing upstream!
