Shortcut to add missing imports

[gillyb]

When i'm typing code, the auto-suggestions usually auto-imports whatever i need (if i use the completion) - but if i don't use the completion menu, or if I copy/paste a line of code from another file, then I have missing imports, with no easy way (i.e.: shortcut) to add them.

Example:
I copy/paste this line, and then I have missing imports.

The quickest way around this for me, is by navigating to the missing imports, and then deleting a few characters, and using the menu to select the missing import. (because I don't remember the paths always, and navigating to the top of the file and doing this manually takes longer)

On your 2nd screenshot, there's a bolt icon on the left, right at the start of line 1.
That is an action menu, called with cmd-. — if the language server provides import actions, those can be selected there, as it works for me for Rust with rust-analyzer.

@SomeoneToIgnore Thanks for the speedy reply! I'm aware of the 'bolt' and I should've mentioned that -
I have a shortcut to open the code actions menu and it has a few suggestions, but doesn't have adding the missing import.

From what you mention it's an issue related to the language server - So i need to look into pyright's language server settings i guess...

Yes, Zed might not even know what an "import" is, and for sure is not able to resolve whatever path needed for the import — it's all about language servers + potential bugs in LSP integration in Zed (not liklely for such fundamental things).

What really bugs me here though (and not blaming zed for this, just explaining) is that when the completions menu opens it "knows" how to auto import the class im selecting, but the 'code actions' menu doesn't show me that option.

I looked at my zed settings.json file and I don't see any lsp features I disabled - and i can't imagine it non being 'on' by default...

but, this isn't zed's problem, i know - i'll look deeper into pyright settings to try to solve this.

For the chance someone else will run into this - I did some digging, and found out that pyright doesn't support this action.
There seems to be a way around it using pylsp - but officially it probably won't be added to pyright.
