Hi,

so if you use a standard lib they are all linked (known by) with the Language Server.

For example in a Robot file  
`Library String` Is automatically completed, one can use “go to Definition” and all underlying Keywords are shown.

I would like to achieve this behavior with some libs installed via pip eg

> **[MarketSquare/robotframework-requests](https://github.com/MarketSquare/robotframework-requests)**
>
> Robot Framework keyword library wrapper for requests - MarketSquare/robotframework-requests

I tryied to link those file into /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/robot/libraries (which all std. libs are located) and include those files in the **init**.py

```
STDLIBS = frozenset(('BuiltIn', 'Collections', 'DateTime', 'Dialogs', 'Easter',
                 'OperatingSystem', 'Process', 'Remote', 'Reserved',
                 'Screenshot', 'String', 'Bing', 'Telnet', 'XML'))

```

note: I am currently using Visual Studio Code and the RF Language server

one but ugly solution is to use a Ressource file used in the venv

```
Resource ../venv/lib64/python/site-packages/FancyLib/robotframework-Keyword-Lib-collection/resources/FancyKeywordLibrary/Fancy.resource

```

Other Libs are using  
class RequestsLibrary(RequestsKeywords):  
**version** = VERSION  
ROBOT\_LIBRARY\_SCOPE = ‘GLOBAL’

But this is just for the Python/RF binding at runtime.

Hello,  
Did you manage to find a fix for this problem? I am currently working on the same thing with Robot Framework Language Server for Visual Studio Code.
