Description

In IntelliJ, there is gutter support https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/guided-tour-around-the-user-interface.html#gutter which is very nice to execute action with a gutter which is an icon displays on the left of the editor for a given line.

For instance for some command like, run,debug, language server displays a Codelens which polluate the editor (if there are some other codelens like references, implementations).

If you see https://github.com/redhat-developer/lsp4ij/discussions/479, you can see Run, Debug codelens for rust-analyzer

IMHO Ithink it should be better to display those Run, Debug codelens as gutter:

Research direction

The issue names no repository files, tests, or implementation entry points. Start by reviewing the linked IntelliJ gutter documentation and discussion 479, then inspect the existing LSP code-lens specification; done would require an agreed protocol design for representing gutter actions and its compatibility with current code-lens behavior.
