I’m using the sway wayland compositor and I ask for help to have a lsp server to integerate with kak-lsp. since sway uses i3 configuration language (or its too similar), we can mash them up into one. Can anyone tackle this problem please? any i3/sway user? ---

Kakoune already comes with [syntax highlighting for i3/sway](https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/blob/master/rc/filetype/i3.kak). There’s no custom completions, but I generally need the manpages open anyway to figure out how what a particular config option does, so I’d just look there for what config settings are available. ---
