Research direction

Start with docs/plugins/lsp.md and review how its configuration examples are organized. Clarify where users should place LSP configuration snippets such as clangd settings, or link to the relevant guidance from the getting started page. Done means a new user can identify the expected location without relying on trial and error.

Description

I am confused about where to place my lsp configuration options. For example, for clangd, should I use .../lua/plugins/clangd.lua? Apologies, I am quite new to the system and I have been reading the docs for the last few weeks but not managed to figure out the answer.

I can of course get there by trial and error, but would it be possible to add some headers to the documentation on pages such as in lsp.md to make it clear where I would put the example configuration settings to use lazyVim in the anticipated way?

I am a lua novice, so sorry if this question makes little sense! If the change I am proposing makes no sense maybe we could just have a link in the getting started page for other documentation new users ought to read?
