[Q&A] How to view Slint Preview on Zed editor

[0xkelvin]

Do we have show preview feature on Zed editor ?

I am not familiar with the zed editor, but you should look for "code actions" or "code lenses" when having the cursor on the name of a component in a .slint file.

(I'm assuming you have the extension )

If you figure it out, please leave a comment on how to do it.

@0xkelvin I had a look at the code for the Zed extension, it looks like it's mostly just highlighting for now:

I am assuming that you are using the slint extension from the Zed extension store!

it seems that zed-editor doesn't give plugins as many features as vscode does

The zed devs I spoke with at rustlab said that Zed does not yet support custom commands.

Showing the preview is a custom command, so I think that explains why this does not work.

I just started using the Zed editor with slint and have been using the slint-viewer

Install using cargo install slint-viewer

I can then load a specific component from a specific file
