+CUSTOMIZATION *diagnostic-config*
+
+If you need more customization over the way diagnostics are displayed than the
+built-in configuration options provide, you can override the display handler
+explicitly. For example, use the following to only show a sign for the highest
+severity diagnostic on a given line: >
+
+ -- Disable the default signs handler
+ vim.diagnostic.config({signs = false})
+
+ -- Create a namespace. This won't be used to add any diagnostics,
+ -- only to display them.
+ local ns = vim.api.nvim_create_namespace("my_namespace")
+
+ -- Create a reference to the original function
+ local orig_show = vim.diagnostic.show
+
+ local function set_signs(bufnr)
+ -- Get all diagnostics from the current buffer
+ local diagnostics = vim.diagnostic.get(bufnr)
+
+ -- Find the "worst" diagnostic per line
+ local max_severity_per_line = {}
+ for _, d in pairs(diagnostics) do
+ local m = max_severity_per_line[d.lnum]
+ if not m or d.severity < m.severity then
+ max_severity_per_line[d.lnum] = d
+ end
+ end
+
+ -- Show the filtered diagnostics using the custom namespace. Use the
+ -- reference to the original function to avoid a loop.
+ local filtered_diagnostics = vim.tbl_values(max_severity_per_line)
+ orig_show(ns, bufnr, filtered_diagnostics, {
+ virtual_text=false,
+ underline=false,
+ signs=true
+ })
+ end
+
+ function vim.diagnostic.show(namespace, bufnr, ...)
+ orig_show(namespace, bufnr, ...)
+ set_signs(bufnr)
+ end
