-# LSP Custom Packages/Command {#sec-languages-custom-lsp-packages}

-One of the strengths of **nvf** is convenient aliases to quickly configure LSP
-servers through the Nix module system. By default the LSP packages for relevant
-language modules will be pulled into the closure. If this is not desirable, you
-may provide **a custom LSP package** (e.g., a Bash script that calls a command)
-or **a list of strings** to be interpreted as the command to launch the language
-server. By using a list of strings, you can use this to skip automatic
-installation of a language server, and instead use the one found in your `$PATH`
-during runtime, for example:
-
-```nix
-vim.languages.java = {
-  lsp = {
-    enable = true;
-
-    # This expects 'jdt-language-server' to be in your PATH or in
-    # 'vim.extraPackages.' There are no additional checks performed to see
-    # if the command provided is valid.
-    package = ["jdt-language-server" "-data" "~/.cache/jdtls/workspace"];
-  };

+LSP presets provided by NVF via `vim.languages.*.lsp` can be further customized
+with the {option}`vim.lsp.servers` submodule.

+For example, if you'd like to avoid having NVF pull the LSP packages you may
+modify the start command to use a string, which will cause the LSP API to
+discover LSP servers from {env}`PATH`.

+An example for **modifying a preset** provided by NVF via `vim.languages.*.lsp`:
 
 ```nix
 {lib, ...}: {

+    enable = true;
+    lsp = {
+      enable = true;
+
+      # This is already the default value, we're just writing this down for
+      # clarity
+      servers = ["basedpyright"]
+    };
+  };
+
   vim.lsp.servers = {
     # Get `basedpyright-langserver` from PATH, e.g., a dev shell.
     basedpyright.cmd = lib.mkForce ["basedpyright-langserver" "--stdio"];
