Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing how matlab_ls receives project and path configuration when launched from Neovim, then compare that with the setup scripts described; done means the supported approach for loading project-specific function paths is implemented or clearly documented.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

I'm currently able to setup and use matlab_ls under neovim. However, one of the projects I work on has multiple functions and scripts defined in different folder paths. Usually these are added with some setup scripts so as to not contaminate the path with unnecessary entries when working with other projects.

Is it possible to setup the LSP to load these paths via a script or some other setting? Is there a different approach to help the language server find my function definitions?

thanks!
