If we're just spitballing thoughts, I'd like something that's kind of the opposite of zen mode. I don't always want signatures and completions and things binging and bopping and showing me suggestions--if I'm working on a codebase and language I'm fluent in then all of that gets turned off. But if I have to pick up some under-documented massive codebase where everyone just uses VS code/intellisense--I'm going to need all the suggestions.

So IMHO I'd love effectively a dial, perhaps the 'distractions' dial. It's not a binary on/off, it's a spectrum. It could be off--nothing at all distracts me (zen mode basically). It might be on a little bit--perhaps just showing current stuff LSP does by default, errors, etc. And it might get cranked up to max--every keystroke throwing more information at me about what's happening, what am I editing, what's related to it, etc. During an editing session I might move inbetween each level on the distraction dial many times. Kind of like zooming in and out as you're editing a photo.

That's an interesting idea! It's for sure possible, it would just take some conditionals/functions to reset diagnostics in your init.vim/init.lua. I personally turn off virtual_text in my private config. I think our current APIs already facilitate this, so I'm happy to answer questions on our discourse or on matrix about how users can do this.

The only thing that pops up by default right now is diagnostics.
