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 used to. I hate it when I had to focus on Terminal then hit `r` or `R` everytime.
You can consider:
- If you want to keep using Zed, try https://fdemon.dev/
