Turbo Log Snippets (Zed)
A minimum, snippet-only take on turbo-console-log for the Zed editor.
Install (dev extension)
- Open Zed → Command Palette (
Cmd/Ctrl-Shift-P) →zed: extensions. - Click Install Dev Extension and select this
turbo-log-snippetsfolder. - Open any
.js,.ts,.tsx,.py, or.phpfile and start typing a prefix from the table below, then hitTab.
No build step, no Rust — this is a pure declarative snippets extension (extension.toml + JSON snippet files), so nothing needs to be compiled.
Usage
| Language | Prefix | Inserts |
|---|---|---|
| JS/TS/TSX/JSX | tlog |
console.log("🚀 ~ value:", value); |
| JS/TS/TSX/JSX | terr |
console.error(...) |
| JS/TS/TSX/JSX | twarn |
console.warn(...) |
| JS/TS/TSX/JSX | tinfo |
console.info(...) |
| JS/TS/TSX/JSX | tdebug |
console.debug(...) |
| JS/TS/TSX/JSX | ttable |
console.table(value); |
| Python | tprint |
print(f"🚀 ~ {value=}") |
| Python | tdebug/tinfo/twarn/terr |
matching logging.* call |
| PHP | tdump |
var_dump(...) |
| PHP | tprint |
print_r(...) |
| PHP | terrlog |
error_log(...) |
Type the variable name once at the tab stop — it's linked, so it fills both the label and the value in the same snippet expansion.
What this does NOT do (unlike the real VS Code extension)
Zed's extension API (as of mid-2026) has no buffer-editing/command API for extensions — only languages, themes, snippets, debuggers, and MCP/context servers. So this snippet-only version can't replicate:
- AST-aware insertion — it can't detect the enclosing variable/function/line under your cursor; you type the name yourself at the tab stop.
- File name / line number context — Turbo's
🚀 ~ file.ts:42 ~ value:format needs dynamic buffer info that Zed snippets don't expose. - Comment all / Uncomment all / Delete all logs — these require scanning and rewriting the whole buffer, not just inserting text at the cursor.
- Dedicated keybindings per command — snippets trigger by typing the prefix + Tab, not a bound shortcut like
⌘K ⌘L. You can bind a key to Zed's genericeditor::ExpandSnippetaction if you want, but it's not per-prefix.
There's an open feature request for a real editor-aware extension API in Zed
(zed-industries/zed discussions #46272 and #53131) — once/if that ships, a true AST-aware port becomes possible.
