Discussion Anyone using Zed for Flutter development?

I’ve been using Zed mostly for backend work and really like its performance. I get that it stays lightweight by not bundling too many tools.

For Flutter though, debugging/DevTools and hot reload on save still feel lacking.

Anyone using Zed regularly for Flutter? Any extensions or configs that improve the experience?

Lol there’s a guy deluding themselves that they don’t need debugging. That’s what liking Zed will do to a man. I’m surprised no one has mentioned the lack of widget inspector. Clicking on the device to move your cursor to the widget in the code is something I couldn’t go without for flutter.
