Support adding selected lines to Claude prompt

[tv42]

Apparently, Claude Code lets you refer to specific lines, not just files, with @filename#L100-110. I can't find official docs about this, but it's done in VSCode (via https://cuong.io/blog/2025/06/23-claude-code-ide-vs-code) and elsewhere (https://github.com/sortafreel/select-copy-line/blob/02d630b535e0be2c2f2ed69fe3990c9764c4e2b2/src/extension.ts).

Being able to tell Claude to "rewrite this to return error instead of panicking" would be useful. Kind of like Zed's inline assistant, but I don't see a way to hook that one up to Claude Code.

I’m running into the same issue, not being able to have Claude work directly on selected lines really slows things down. Adding this feature would be a huge quality-of-life boost and make using Claude so much more productive.

+1. This is the biggest blocker preventing me from switching to Zed full time. As of now, it's very difficult to use in codebases with large files.

The Cursor UX is the best here. As soon as you select a section of code in the editor, an "Add to Chat" shows up. Please help bring this to Zed!

Can now be done with CMD + : , or CMD + L if you select the Cursor keymap in the settings!

New Zed user. You can do this by doing CMD + Shift + . or CMD + > to be more specific.
