+
+For each request sent to an LSP server, this event is triggered for every
+change to the request's status. The status can be one of `pending`,
+`complete`, or `cancel` and is sent as the {type} on the "data" table passed
+to the callback function.
+
+It triggers when the initial request is sent ({type} == `pending`) and when
+the LSP server responds ({type} == `complete`). If a cancelation is requested
+using `client.cancel_request(request_id)`, then this event will trigger with
+{type} == `cancel`.
+
+When used from Lua, the client ID, request ID, and request are sent in the
+"data" table. See {requests} in |vim.lsp.client| for details on the {request}
+value. If the request type is `complete`, the request will be deleted from the
+client's pending requests table immediately after calling the event's
+callbacks. Example: >lua
