Hover doesn't seem to be working

Hmm sorry for the irritation. I have a barrage of questions: 1. Which language is this for? 2. Do you have the relevant language server installed (i.e. the extension for the language specifically). 3. What OS are you on? 4. What else doesn't work? Can you go to definition? Can you see the dependency arrow buttons?

I am VERY interested in using this on Linux! But am only able to use it when the openai opt-out is available on linux. Hope you guess implement it for that build soon!

We just made the opt-out available on Linux. let me know if it's working for you!

Epic! Thanks for the update! Will try it out. :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

emacs has existed for many decades already.

The whole recent crop of extendable editors (atom, vscode, zed, etc.) seem to have been created by a younger generation that never used emacs (and are perhaps scared of it because they find Lisp weird) and so are reinventing the wheel.

I’ve never used Emacs, but heavily used Vim/NeoVim for many years.

I recently switched to Zed because I was tired of shitty terminal emulators on Mac, and wanted something designed from the ground up with speed and GPU acceleration in mind. All my screens are 120hz and I needed something capable of keeping up with that.

I think new editors are created because of an underserved aspect of the classics (Emacs/Vim)—in Zed’s case it's addressing the poor GUI experience—and then have to recreate tools in their new frameworks. It’s a good thing. Monopolies are bad, and rethinking how we do things is good.

I can't get jupyter notebooks to render in the editor windows while I know the python language server isn't up and running yet being able to open the files using the extension on a vs code based IDE would be useful

Oof we've completely neglected this. Will work on this ASAP!
