Plannotator can open the current local file in Zed from plan review, document annotation, and code review.

Use it

  1. Open a local Plannotator review.
  2. Open the Open in… menu on the document or code file.
  3. Choose Zed, or choose Zed Preview on macOS to open the document in the preview build.
Plannotator lists Zed only when it detects an installed application or executable. On macOS, Zed Preview appears as a separate choice when that app bundle is installed. Linux and Windows use the regular zed executable for preview builds too, so they use the existing Zed entry.

Availability

Opening a file in Zed requires a local source path. The action is unavailable in these cases:
  • a remote session
  • a pull-request review without a local checkout
  • a deleted file
  • a committed GitButler Stack or Branch view that does not match the live workspace
