Feature Request: Toggle between preferred Light/Dark Themes

[connortsui20]

Most of the time, I work with a single theme in dark mode. However, there are sometimes occasions where I want to use a light mode theme (for example, working on my laptop in a bright environment). I only have two themes I use (one for light and one for dark), so I was wondering if it is possible in Zed to toggle between preferred light and dark mode themes.

On VSCode, this is available from 1.69 as preferredDarkColorTheme and etc. Zed does have similar settings, but AFAICT there is no easy way to toggle between the theme.dark and theme.light presets.

Is this something that is easy to implement as a command palette command?

Hi! I do not know if you got answer on this, and surely Zed has been updated many times since you asked, but can you:

type Cmd-K T ... to get the Select Theme... panel
up or down arrow will pick the other one (or if you more, it will rotate around)
hit Enter to accept
or escape to, well, escape without changes

this theme change is not something you can undo with Cmd-z, so just toggle again.

(no editing settings files needed.)
