Hey folks, is there any way to configure indent guides to be shown only on the current LSP or Treesitter context?

For example if I want to show the indent guides only for the current method I am focusing.

I tried to set

"line_width": 0,

but it accepts a greater or equal 1 😄

What I want to achieve is something like this on my nvim config:

See that when I focus on the method it shows the indent guide for it

and when I focus on another thing it changes the indent guide

is this something feasible to do in Zed?

thanks a lot

This is not currently supported. I imagine you could get something like this via tree-sitter. You might look at the implementation of editor::SelectLargerSyntaxNode for an example of how to this. In thinking about how to track the state, I assume on every cursor movement you would need to calculate the current indent context and then create an alternate implementation for drawing indent_guides which iterated over all visible cursors and drew it appropriately.

It's a nifty idea, but not something we're looking to immediately prioritize.
Thanks for filing.
