Official Slint extension for Zed editor

[whatakey]

I'm surprised by the absence of proper Slint support in Zed, there's this extension but it lacks basic features like .slint files preview and it is completely broken on windows.

Currently Zed Editor holds 50k+ GitHub starts and its popularity is only growing, I hope you consider supporting Slint in it.

In summary, Zed needs to support code lenses or code actions and then it will work.

Hello @ogoffart

Would runnables be not enough to support Slint viewer?

You can just start slint-viewer next to the editor and that should work.

The live-preview built into the LSP will not though. Let's hope the Zed guys will improve their LS support in time, it should just work once they do. The integration works in helix, nvim, kate and VSCode. I am pretty surely it will also work in zed once they have their infrastructure in place.
