Description

If I run

printf 
session   = "1234"
client    = "client0"
buffile   = "foo.py"
filetype  = "python"
version   = 1
method    = "textDocument/definition"
[params.position]
line      = 5
column    = 1 | kak-lsp -s 1234 --request

It automatically trigger an action ( jump to definition in this example ) in the kakoune client

How can I just get the string of the action to perform, without triggering it yet. The goal is to run some logic and trigger the action latter with eval $action ?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Modify the request flag logic to output the action string instead of executing it; trace the request handling in main.rs or cli.rs.
