  "github_readme_excerpt": "\u003e **Note:** This is documentation for the development version!  \n\u003e The docs for the last release version are [here](https://github.com/netmute/ctags-lsp/blob/v0.11.0/README.md).\n\n# CTags Language Server\n\nA Language Server Protocol (LSP) implementation using `universal-ctags` as backend, supporting 100+ languages.\n\nThis won\u0027t replace your dedicated language server, and it doesn\u0027t try to. The goal is to have a \"better than nothing\" language server that\u0027s trivial to setup for any language.\n\n## What it does\n\nOn startup, `ctags-lsp` runs `universal-ctags` to index your workspace and keeps that index in memory to provide code completion, go-to-definition, and document/workspace symbols.\n\nIt never creates or updates tagfiles.\n\n## Installation\n\nbrew will automatically install dependencies for you.\n\n```sh\n# install with brew\nbrew install ctags-lsp\n```\n\nWhen installing with mise or go, you must install `universal-ctags` yourself ([ctags installation](https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags?tab=readme-ov-file#the-latest-build-and-package)).\n\n```sh\n# install with mise\nmise use -g github:netmute/ctags-lsp\n```\n\n```sh\n# install with go\ngo install github.com/netmute/ctags-lsp@latest\n```\n\n## Use with your editor\n\nAny editor with a built-in LSP client should work. Working examples are below.\n\n### Neovim\n\n```lua\nvim.lsp.config(\"ctags_lsp\", {\n\tcmd = { \"ctags-lsp\" },\n\tfiletypes = { \"ruby\" }, -- Change this to the language(s) nvim should attach the LSP to\n})\nvim.lsp.enable(\"ctags_lsp\")\n```\n\n### Helix\n\nAdd this to `~/.config/helix/languages.toml`:\n\n```toml\n[language-server.ctags-lsp]\ncommand = \"ctags-lsp\"\n\n[[language]]\nname = \"toml\"  # Change this to the language helix should attach the LSP to\nlanguage-servers = [ \"ctags-lsp\" ]\n```\n\n## Advanced\n\n### Speeding up startup\n\nMost projects are completely indexed in less than 1s. If startup is slow for your workspace:\n\n- Limit which languages are being indexed with `--languages`. The option is passed through to ctags unchanged; for available op",
