Description

Hi!

I'd like to suggest adding support to progress notifications. This is mostly an aesthetic feature, but I find it useful to know when the LSP server is done indexing the project and is responsive to other queries.

To add a bit of context, I have configured the MATLAB language server in Neovim and I'd like to get LSP notifications through the Fidget plugin, which works out of the box for the other LSP servers I use.

Thanks in advance for considering this request.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the MATLAB language server indexes a project and handles LSP notifications, then review the linked LSP progress specification and the Neovim Fidget integration. The work is done when indexing progress and completion are reported through LSP notifications and appear in Fidget.
