Also leave it to the user to add extra details/configs to the screenshots for example the codesnipet can display developer name, flags, emojis, optionally show file name and/or file path and adding user themes and fonts for the code snippets.

I need this, It's the last thing I go to VSCode for. That doesn't bother me as much when people ask how I made such a beautiful code screenshot. I have to tell them VSCode Codesnap extension. I'd rather say Zed code screenshot extension :)

Hi guys, I'm the author of CodeSnap.nvim, so glad to hear that you enjoy CodeSnap.nvim, actually, I'm working on CodeSnap which is a pure Rust library for generating code snapshots, which is more powerful, flexible and beautiful than CodeSnap.nvim. And I have plan to refactor CodeSnap.nvim to use CodeSnap library in the future, so please stay tuned!

And also, I will provide other editor plugins using CodeSnap library in the future, so you can use CodeSnap in your favorite editor, Zed is an amazing editor, and the Zed code snapshot plugin is also in my development plan, but I'm not sure when I can finish it, if someone interested in CodeSnap, you can using CodeSnap library to create code snapshot Zed plugin by yourself, and I'm glad to help you if you have any questions. :)
