Integration with rust_tools/lsps that provide ssr

[IndianBoy42]

I really like the interactive ui. rust_analyzer provides a interface for structure search and replace, but using it through rust_tools.nvim amounts to just typing in the command line which isn't as intuitive as this plugin.

How hard would it be to integrate with rust_tools or any other lsp that provides SSR

This plugin is quite different from rust_analyzer's ssr. This plugin

• requires you to select a region first
• search as you type
• search in the current buffer only
  which is not the same in rust_analyzer. So I don't think it's possible to make the UI work with different "ssr providers".

Rust_analyzer allows you to type a // foo($a) ==>> $a.foo() comment and run ssr as code actions. I think it's more usable as you can edit it in normal mode. Is this what you want?

With a little scaffolding keymap to copy over selected region into a comment of that structure it could work actually. I'll just go with that then

Also, how feasible would previewing the changes as we type be for this plugin?

I’ve planned to add preview to each confirmation window when replacing.
