In OOP, a class often centralizes information about inherited interfaces, making it easy to see at a glance.

In this article, we’ll explore how to leverage rust-analyzer in NeoVim and VSCode to quickly check which traits a Rust struct or enum implements.

Navigate to the Symbol: Place your cursor over the struct or enum whose trait implementations you want to inspect. Open the Symbol Inspector: Press SHIFT+K twice. This opens the symbol inspector, displaying useful information about the symbol. Find Trait Implementations: Look for the line that says “Go to [x] implementations” (where x represents the number of implementations). Press Enter to open a window showing all the traits implemented by that symbol.

Navigate to the Symbol: Click or place your cursor on the struct or enum you’re interested in. Open the Symbol Inspector: Press SHIFT+K once. This opens a detailed view of the symbol, including trait implementations. Explore Implementations: Click on the “[x] implementations” link. A new window will appear, listing all the traits implemented by the symbol.
