+LSP SEMANTIC HIGHLIGHTS *lsp-semantic-highlight*
+
+When available, the LSP client highlights code using |lsp-semantic_tokens|,
+which are another way that LSP servers can provide information about source
+code. Note that this is in addition to treesitter syntax highlighting;
+semantic highlighting does not replace syntax highlighting.
+
+The server will typically provide one token per identifier in the source code.
+The token will have a `type` such as "function" or "variable", and 0 or more
+`modifier`s such as "readonly" or "deprecated." The standard types and
+modifiers are described here:
+https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/#textDocument_semanticTokens
+LSP servers may also use off-spec types and modifiers.
+
+The LSP client adds one or more highlights for each token. The highlight
+groups are derived from the token's type and modifiers:
+ • `@lsp.type.<type>.<ft>` for the type
+ • `@lsp.mod.<mod>.<ft>` for each modifier
+ • `@lsp.typemod.<type>.<mod>.<ft>` for each modifier
+Use |:Inspect| to view the higlights for a specific token. Use |:hi| or
+|nvim_set_hl()| to change the appearance of semantic highlights: >vim
+
+ hi @lsp.type.function guifg=Yellow " function names are yellow
+ hi @lsp.type.variable.lua guifg=Green " variables in lua are green
+ hi @lsp.mod.deprecated gui=strikethrough " deprecated is crossed out
+ hi @lsp.typemod.function.async guifg=Blue " async functions are blue
+<
+The value |vim.highlight.priorities|`.semantic_tokens` is the priority of the
+`@lsp.type.*` highlights. The `@lsp.mod.*` and `@lsp.typemod.*` highlights
+have priorities one and two higher, respectively.
+
+You can disable semantic highlights by clearing the highlight groups: >lua
+
+ -- Hide semantic highlights for functions
+ vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, '@lsp.type.function', {})
+
+ -- Hide all semantic highlights
+ for _, group in ipairs(vim.fn.getcompletion("@lsp", "highlight")) do
+ vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, group, {})
+ end
+<
+You probably want these inside a |ColorScheme| autocommand.
+
+Use |LspTokenUpdate| and |vim.lsp.semantic_tokens.highlight_token()| for more
+complex highlighting.
+
+The following groups are linked by default to standard |group-name|s:
+>
+ @lsp.type.class Structure
+ @lsp.type.decorator Function
+ @lsp.type.enum Structure
+ @lsp.type.enumMember Constant
+ @lsp.type.function Function
+ @lsp.type.interface Structure
+ @lsp.type.macro Macro
+ @lsp.type.method Function

+LspTokenUpdate *LspTokenUpdate*
+
+When a visible semantic token is sent or updated by the LSP server, or when an
+existing token becomes visible for the first time. The |autocmd-pattern| is
+the name of the buffer. When used from Lua, the token and client ID are passed
+to the callback in the "data" table. The token fields are documented in
+|vim.lsp.semantic_tokens.get_at_pos()|. Example: >lua
+
+ vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('LspTokenUpdate', {
+ callback = function(args)
+ local token = args.data.token
+ if token.type == 'variable' and not token.modifiers.readonly then
+ vim.lsp.semantic_tokens.highlight_token(
+ token, args.buf, args.data.client_id, 'MyMutableVariableHighlight'

+Note: doing anything other than calling
+|vim.lsp.semantic_tokens.highlight_token()| is considered experimental.
