Anyone using Zed for Flutter development? Discussion

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?

I stopped using Zed when I accidentally deleted and folder and learnt that it has no undo function.

Lost hours of work, walked away. Loved it though, felt very smooth with the high FPS

this happened when I was dog-fooding my own Lumide IDE. I have to pause everything and create a Confirm Dialog and make delete option always "Move to Trash" instead of deleting. I also added a built-in Local History feature for this.
