Wrap and Unwrap Rust dbg!() with a Single Keystroke

When I work on Rust code, I sometimes wrap expressions with dbg!() to inspect values. So I configured a single keystroke (\d) to wrap selected expression. Essentially it cuts the selection, puts it in dbg!() and then pastes selection inside dbg!(). And vice versa.

I use Zed with vim mode, in Zed keymap config it looks like this:

{
  "context": "vim_mode == visual",
  "bindings": {
    "\\ d": ["workspace::SendKeystrokes", "\" a c dbg!( ctrl-r a ) escape"],
  },
},
{
  "context": "vim_mode == normal",
  "bindings": {
    "\\ d": ["workspace::SendKeystrokes", "v a a \" a y g v [ x [ x \" a p"],
  },
},

The same idea should work in any editor with vim keybindings.

Found this trick in Zed’s Hidden Gems blog post.
