We have the ability to reload files in Zed since Oct 16, 2024 thanks to this PR: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/18395.

• The manual way is to open a command palette: CMD + P and type reload file.
• If you want to set a shortcut/keybinding, just open a keymap.json and paste the code from below.

{
    "context": "Editor",
    "bindings": {
      "cmd r": "editor::ReloadFile"
    }
}

That’s all.
