It'd be really great if the game can be launched, restarted or stopped from within Zed. I find myself constantly switching between Zed and Godot only to run the game.

I don't know what's possible in terms of communicating or if Godot even offers an API for that. My inspiration was the editor: restart language server command that seems to be able to tell Godot to restart the LSP. Maybe it could tell it other things, too! ;-)

BONUS if it'd also work for EditorScripts.

That'll be good to have, definitely! Currently I don't think Zed offers too many tools for plugin developers. For this, you need an API on Zed's side to run a command in the terminal, keep track of if the program stays alive, and kill the running program from Zed. It's all technically possible in Godot but as far as I know not possible yet on Zed's side.
