Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

I was reading the docs page on Adding New Languages and, while it has some good info about LSP, it doesn't actually say anything about adding a new language. It eludes to this being possible. If this is done through extensions then that info should be added to the docs page.

Apologies if this isn't the place for Docs bugs but I couldn't find a repo for the docs.

Sorry about that - yeah, extensions are the way forward for adding new languages to Zed. Extensions landed not too long ago and the docs haven't been updated in some time - I'll try to update them today.

I am interested in developing an extension to support the Move language in Zed, but I am currently struggling with understanding how to properly integrate it. I've looked through the existing documentation but could not find a clear guide or reference for adding support for a new language such as Move.

Could you please provide some guidance, or consider expanding the existing documentation to include a step-by-step guide on how to add new language support? Specifically, I am looking for information on integrating things like syntax highlighting via tree-sitter and connecting to a language server.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated as it would significantly aid in my efforts to contribute to the community.

Another question has come up regarding LSP configuration. How does someone change the LSP used for a language

Hello, I'm trying to add Move language on Zed too, but met same as your problem. Did you have any new information about this?
