Yeah, found it and just did that.
Reloaded and restarted VSCode. Now, there seems to be some syntax highlighting (just on brackets), but no formatting on save.

@dxps If you run the Format Document command in VSCode it should run zig fmt behind the scenes. Then you can toggle on the general VSCode preference: Editor: Format On Save.

Just found out that in the ZLS output ("output" vscode pane), whenever I do save it throws a "need to run as root or suid".
Gotta go to sleep, it's late here, i'll solve it tomorrow.

Thanks again for the help! Really appreciate it!

Issue solved.

I had to do chmod a+x {path/to}/zls
(instead of just chmod +x ...).
