Zed 1.0

jore

Does anybody have experience running Claude Code or Codex in Zed?

1.0 and still has the wrong colours when ran in Wayland and lacks bitmap font support.

Bravo! I've enjoyed using Zed and seeing its progress. Still waiting on python notebook support.

does this support plugins? How does it integrate with cmake projects?

Congrats on reaching your first major

Too bad they did not include better search UI into this release. When you search, Zed opens a new tab, which I hate. Sometimes I just want to have a quick glance at some code and close the search using escape. Telescope style search in vim, helix or JetBrains tools is so much better. https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/46478

Huge congratulations to the Zed team!

Congratulations! I’ve been very happy with Zed for the past year or so. I’m hoping the roadmap contains support for even more things that extensions can do, such as rendering images or Markdown in-editor.

Such a pity remote dev containers are critical for me. I guess some SSH tunneling could help with it...

How is their emacs keymap support? I tried VSCode for a while but switched back to emacs because it was so slow and the keymap was not very good. I've been intending to try Zed but emacs is working well enough so the motivation isn't really there yet..

The only thing that bothers me about Zed is the theme. It's so bland it actually gives me reading difficulties. I'd be surprised if some of the color combinations don't pose an accessibility issue. Grey text on grey background is quite the choice.

Congratz to the team. I really like zed and started using it quite early, loved the text threads and was using them a lot as I don't think llms fit in a box of only agents, they were a nice way to manage conversations, work through them, edit responses to lead the agent better, copy-paste full text, sad to see them go (text threads). I'm trying right now the ACP with my own agent and I'm of mixed opinions but that's maybe because I care how my agent works. I believe that for the agent view a plain buffer with small ui elements would be the best ui for an agent conversation but I may have been spoiled by their text threads. I may spin a personal fork but the thought of tens of mins of compile time isn't that attractive. Edit: I realized I started moving to terminal based editors like helix due to agents: claude -> codex -> custom pi, with the open sourcing of warp I was considering making a native integration for warp + pi but now I'm thinking zed's text threads (~17k lines) + pi might be a better way, any thoughts or ideas?

Good for them, but I wish they'd hurry up and catch up on some of the big missing features. Really hoping they'll accept my PR to add the missing call hierarchy feature before the GitHub issue turns 2 years old :)

Shortcuts still don't work on non-Latin keyboard layouts on Linux. For people who use languages with non-Latin writing systems, this is a show-stopper. (there is, of course, a rich tradition of text editors with the same issue, including Vim and Emacs. They 1) have an excuse; 2) provide both workarounds and their own input method systems. Having this in a new program is nuts.)

Congrats to the Zed team! I really like your editor and it works surprisingly well, althought there are a few rough edges still with the python experience. The debugger in Python FastAPI and mainly Django is not working as expected. Hopefully soon will be fixed.

Congrats guys! I've been using zed since a few months ago, I would consider myself a "light" user but I do enjoy the experience. My only sour point would be the not so smooth integration with claude code. But I've learmt to live with it for now

Feature-wise, Zed is still far from VS Code, but for me, the change has been worth it for the performance increase alone. I'm really happy with Zed, and I think it has a bright future ahead. Congratulations on the 1.0 release!

Why does signing up through Github require the "act on behalf" permission? That seems risky.

Still absolutely no support for screen readers? Despite promising it for years and every comparable product having it.

Congrats Zed! GPUI has been a huge inspiration. Whenever I think to myself “yikes that sounds too hard”, my next thought is “well, Zed team could probably do it”.
