For full details: https://github.com/scalameta/metals/milestone/74?closed=1

Metals is a language server for Scala that works with VS Code, Vim, Emacs, Zed, Helix and Sublime Text. Metals is developed at the Scala Center and VirtusLab with the help from contributors from the community.

TL;DR​

Check out https://scalameta.org/metals/, and give Metals a try!

Infer method code action​

Thanks to great work by ag91 it's now possible to ask Metals to infer a method definition based on it's usage when symbol was not found.

This works similar to the "Create new symbol" code action which would create a new Scala file with the added symbol. Now, for anything starting with a lower case we offer to create a method instead.

This will work both when the symbol is used as a parameter:

first-example

as well as a standalone function call:

second-example

The feature has only been implemented for Scala 2 for the time being and there might be still some unsupported cases.
