Show Linting Errors In Zed

When working in a language like TypeScript or Go, the language server tooling in Zed can draw my attention to errors in my code. This could be an unrecognized function or variable, a type error, or a syntax error. When these linting errors are detected, the editor underlines them with a red squiggly. I can hover over offending token or statement and see what the error is.

There are also a few mouse-free ways to do this.

First, I can hit F8 to jump to the next one of these errors in the current file. That will move my cursor to that location and display a small overlay with the error details.

Second, assuming Vim mode, I can navigate my cursor over a specific highlighted token and then hit Shift+k. That will pop open the same small overlay to display the error details.

Third, I can hit Cmd+Shift+M to open the Project Diagnostics tab which displays a series of file buffer results with the offending lines and the error description.
