Any idea how (if it is even possible) to use the new document/workspace symbols functionality in Zed editor?

What I like the most regarding workspace symbols (using VScode here):
If you have function components within heex/~H sigil it is possible to position the cursor within the name:
And after a Ctrl-T one might jump directly to the definition:
Of course I would like to see better support for these kind of things. But right now it’s good enough for me

In most editors workspace symbols is exposed via some kind of “project search” and document symbols is exposed as a kind of “file hierarchy” panel. I don’t know about zed specifically though.

OK, in Zed, it’s CMD+T (doh 
), but in my rather big umbrella project, when I am looking at LSP Logs (RPC Messages), I can see something like this:
// Send:
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":67,"method":"workspace/symbol","params":{"query":"repo"}}
// Send:
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"$/cancelRequest","params":{"id":66}}
// Receive:
{"error":{"code":-32603,"message":"** (ErlangError) Erlang error: {:exception, %Protocol.UndefinedError{protocol: Enumerable, value: {:error, {:not_enabled, {:fuzzy, \"repo\", []}}}, description: \"\"}, [{Enumerable, :impl_for!, 1, [file: ~c\"lib/enum.ex\", line: 1]}, {Enumerable, :reduce, 3, [file: ~c\"lib/enum.ex\", line: 166]}, {Enum, :map, 2, [file: ~c\"lib/enum.ex\", line: 4399]}, {LXical.RemoteControl.CodeIntelligence.Symbols, :for_workspace, 1, []}]}\n (kernel 9.2.1) erpc.erl:702: :erpc.call/5\n (lx_server 0.5.0) lib/lexical/server/provider/handlers/workspace_symbol.ex:19: LXical.Server.Provider.Handlers.WorkspaceSymbol.handle/2\n (lx_server 0.5.0) lib/lexical/server/provider/queue.ex:99: anonymous fn/2 in LXical.Server.Provider.Queue.State.as_task/2\n (elixir 1.16.1) lib/task/supervised.ex:101: Task.Supervised.invoke_mfa/2\n (elixir 1.16.1) lib/task/supervised.ex:36: Task.Supervised.reply/4\n"},"id":67}
When I looked at the Lexical source, it seems that there is some indexing happening and until it’s finished, the fuzzy search is not enabled. Is it possible to show some UI alert that I have to wait until it’s done and ideally with current progress?

I started using Lexical again and I’m seeing progress percentages in my NeoVim status line.

It’s a better option than doing live grep. Not hugely better but reduces the signal-to-noise ratio enough for it to be perceptibly better.
(Also if you are going to flatter somebody, don’t misspell their name!
