Hi all, I am also using zed for about a month now.
There is something that I find missing on zed(or I do not know how to enable it), it is the function/variable signature for elixir.
Do you know how I can configure this ?
Here are the examples from VSCode and Zed
VSCode:
Zed:
Also, it would be useful if you point me how to explore options for settings in zed.
BTW: This is also happening with JS, no signature/type on autocomplete.
Thanks all !

It’s not perfect, but should work out-of-box already, see:
Make sure that:
zedis up to date (usegit pullto get latestzedversion when building from source)zedinreleasemode (usecargo run --release)The default comment at the top of the settings file should say everything. If you have no idea how to quickly open settings the take a look at the caret menu in top-right corner, see:
Since
zedofficially supports onlyMacand other OS/distribution support is in-progress it’s not so easy to get help from non-Mac users. It’s not like that everyone works on unstable software in production.Fortunately there is a
Collab Panelbutton in bottom-left corner, see:The chat should now be located in right dock!
@AstonJ Could you please split question and my answer posts into Questions & Help section?

Thanks for the answer.
Actually the pop-up and autocomplete for standard modules(Enum, File, Stream..etc) are working, I was thinking in terms of my own functions and modules I wrote, that is my issue, I cannot determine what is a function in module and what is a variable in current function.
Also my view is not the same as yours, which is the same in VSCode for me. I just see short description, not the whole as in your case.
Also the .elixir_ls dir in root project is present. When I delete the dir, it gets shown in matter of seconds, so I assume the language server is working.
My question was how I can fine tune the language server.
Do I need to explicitly install elixir-ls?
I am using the erlang and elixir installation trough asdf.
I do not have any custom settings for elixir-ls, just using out of the box, but I would like to configure it a bit.
Thanks again!
