Not to criticize you - I also use eglot and it's great - but let me mention that people have been doing pretty meaningful software development for several decades now, and LSPs are, I don't know, 5 years old?

There's a saying in my language, "the appetite grows while you eat"...

I think it's a fair complaint. You're on a setup with bad ergonomics as it is (tablet + Bluetooth keyboard.) Dealing with that and no LSP is rough. I'd be happy writing code on a desktop without an LSP, though I'd be happiest with both.

  • I did my share of coding on a Commodore 64 (have you seen that keyboard?) with a cassette tape as the only external storage, no debugger (just a very poor BASIC variant) and (of course) a mono CRT tv set as a monitor. No internet, of course, just a few books/magazines.

    Kids these days... ;-)

    • I think the C64 had a fine keyboard? It's mostly a standard layout and a lot chunkier than the small Bluetooth keyboards that tend to cause wrist issues. I also began coding in the CRT days so idk why that would be a barrier, I guess you mean for resolution? My issues are ergonomic not functionality oriented.
