A new version of the Crystal extension for Zed has been released, this one moving to the new Crystal tree-sitter instead of the Ruby tree-sitter. Things like outline and syntax highlighting should be significantly better, especially around macros. It should be available to download in Zed directly. Feedback welcome!

This is awesome!
I’ve been working on a shard recently and I’ve been trying Zed at home, but due to issues around macros, I kept coming back and forth from VSCode since the highlighting there worked better. I just installed the new version and now all the code, including macros, gets correctly highlighted.
One small problem that I noticed is that ‘with’ used outside the context of a keyword breaks the highlighting in some cases:
def f(x, y)
g with: x, and: y
end
def g(**kwargs)
puts kwargs
end
f 1, 2
Other than that, everything is working great! Even the heredocs have working highlighting:
Thank you so much for the effort that is being put into crystal tooling!

Ahh yeah that is a known issue type declaration with keywords · Issue #39 · crystal-lang-tools/tree-sitter-crystal · GitHub, tree sitter doesn’t seem to like re-using keywords for normal identifiers. It should be fixed with updates in tree sitter 0.25
Hi, is there a way to make the font display bigger?
I use Arch linux with a 4K monitor, and set fonts scale to 2.0, but display keeping 100%, get following screenshot.
But my others application font not as small as zed, because fonts bigger.
Thanks
