GDScript #

Godot GDScript language support in Zed is provided by the community-maintained GDScript extension. Report issues to: https://github.com/GDQuest/zed-gdscript/issues

• Tree-sitter: PrestonKnopp/tree-sitter-gdscript and PrestonKnopp/tree-sitter-godot-resource
• Language Server: gdscript-language-server

Pre-requisites #

You will need:

• Godot.
• netcat (nc or ncat) on your system PATH.

Setup #

1. Inside your Godot editor, open Editor Settings, look for Text Editor -> External and set the following options:
   • Exec Path: /path/to/zed
   • Exec Flags: {project} {file}:{line}:{col}
   • Use External Editor: "✅ On"
2. Open any *.gd file through Godot and Zed will launch.

Usage #

When Godot is running, the GDScript extension will connect to the language server provided by the Godot runtime and will provide jump to definition, hover states when you hold Ctrl/cmd and other language server features.
