Description

Sometimes the server needs to save some state, for example, ignore the specified warning.
At present, there are two ways to solve this problem:

  1. Generate a custom profile in the working directory. However, when a user opens a single file, this method cannot be used.
  2. Assuming the type of the editor, modify the configuration of it. This method is very unusual.

So I think LSP should provide a way to modify the editor's configuration file.
