## Project history and usage

typos-lsp is a Language Server Protocol server and Visual Studio Code extension wrapper around the `typos` spell checker. It brings the low-false-positive source-code spelling model into editors instead of only running it as a batch CLI or CI check.

### Project history

The public repository was created in April 2023. Its README describes typos-lsp as exposing `typos` through LSP and VS Code to provide a fast, low-memory, in-editor spell checker with diagnostics and quick fixes.

The project deliberately inherits typos' correction model. The README explains that unknown words are not treated like traditional spell-checker findings; suggestions are limited to known misspellings to minimize false positives.

### Adoption history

The official README documents editor and package-manager channels rather than a single install path: Mason for Neovim, vim-lsp-settings for Vim, the Visual Studio Marketplace, Open VSX for VSCodium, Zed's extension marketplace, Homebrew, cargo-binstall, Cargo from Git, and GitHub releases.

The batch input shows additional package-manager availability in apk, Homebrew, Nix, and Pacman. GitHub release metadata shows regular 0.1.x releases through v0.1.53 in May 2026.

### How it is used

After installation, typos-lsp runs automatically when files are opened or edited in a supported editor. It reads `typos.toml`, `_typos.toml`, or `.typos.toml` from the workspace or parent folders, and supports explicit custom config through VS Code's `typos.config` or generic LSP `initializationOptions.config`.

### Why package nerds care

typos-lsp is important to package nerds because it converts a CLI quality gate into a reusable editor service. That makes the same packaged spelling rules available in Homebrew-installed editor setups, Neovim Mason registries, VS Code extensions, and other LSP clients.

### Timeline

- 2023: Public GitHub repository created.
- 2025: 0.1.x release train continued.
- 2026: v0.1.53 published.

### Related projects

- typos-lsp depends conceptually on crate-ci/typos and is related to editor integration projects for VS Code, Neovim, Vim, Helix, and Zed. Its configuration docs map typos behavior into each editor's LSP settings.
