Hi Gerd,

As far as I can see, TAB (I think you meant this) already invokes
widget-forward when point is on a "widget".  It invokes button-forward
when point is on a button.  So while there are no bindings in
eglot-hierarchy-mode-map, you should be able to use those keys.  Also
afaics, RET "does what you mean": it expands a node or or brings you to
the locus of a call, depending where you hit it.

Anyway, patches welcome.  However, I would favor the development of
tree-widget-mode (or widget mode) where these bindings and UI is in
effect.  Eglot is already using tree-widget.el.

Alternatively, if you realy want to improve things, patches welcome to
completely remove the dependency on tree-widget.el and replace it with a
dependency on a new graph-representation library.  Perhaps you could
lift the bespoke one that profiler.el uses into a new library?  Call it
hierarchy2.el.  Then make a :core ELPA package out of that so that
call/type hierarchies remain functional for ELPA-downloaded Eglot and
backward compatible to Emacs 26/27/28/29/30 (maybe 26 could be ditched,
I guess).

Just a note that I've experimented with hierarchy.el (which uses
tree-widget.el) and found it brings no benefit at all over directly
calling tree-widget.el. 

>> 2. Bug: Clicking on "chars_in_text" in the tree above takes me here:

Thanks, this is definitely a bug.  Pressing a button for a call site
should take you to the site, not the definition of caller/callee.  There
was a thinko here which made it only work for defininitions within the
same LSP document.

Note that there could be a separate binding to go to the definition of
the caller/callee, as that information is also readily available.
Perhaps Eglot could have an additional (small)
eglot-hierarchy-xref-backend so that the normal M-. does what the user
would expect from it (go to definition at point). Patches welcome here, too.

Anyway, please try the patch after my sig.  It fixes the mis-navigations
you reported.

João
