Description
Hi folks,
This is more of a question about documentation than anything else.
I am unable to use the Microsoft.VisualStudio.LanguageServer.Client.ILanguageClient implementation in my extension as I need to modify the Client Capabilities.
LanguageClient looks promising as it provides the way to modify the capabilities. However, I am unable to find any documentation/sample that helps me use the client correctly as a Visual Studio extension. I came across https://github.com/tintoy/dotnet-language-client . However, it has so many files and code, I am not sure what is required for creating a simple and minimal language client extension in Visual Studio using Omnisharp. Any documentation links or samples would be greatly helpful. Thanks.
