Re: Looking For Any Emacs Config Examples That Has LSP Mode With 'aggressive-indent' Mode

[Samuel Banya]

Hello Oscar,

Yeah, LSP on its own doesn't do enough indentation.

Aggressive indent is awesome because it does a ton more work for you.

LSP always really only reacts when you hit the Enter key in some cases, hard to 
describe.

Its just not on point in comparison.

Does anyone have any configs that combine the two or at least gets a more 
aggressive LSP mode present?

Thanks,

Sam
