Dear Zed devs - please, fix the bug with the "Rename symbol" functionality! Refactoring is an important feature that many of your users need to have to start using Zed as their main daily driver. Otherwise - great IDE! Please, help me forever forget the VSCode nightmare!

I asked them about this on X and they are working on one. I use Zed for everything now but must keep VS Code around just for the debugger. I can't wait to delete it.

Seems like you can't run it locally. I don't like my code being sent to a third party, especially when my employer may not agree with it. I also edit secret/env files in my IDE, so for instance, a private key or API key could get sent, right? I hope there will be a local option later.

You can disable this feature on a per-file basis, here’s the relevant setting: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/39c9b1f170cd640cd...

>Remote editing does not work on Windows (its not implemented at all), so if you are on windows, you cannot ssh into anything with the editor remote editing feature. This means you cannot use your PC as a thin client to the actual chunky big work machine like you can with vscode. Does this work on anything other than VSCode ? I have been trying to use JetBrains stuff for this but it has been bad for years with little…

It’s not exactly the same paradigm as remote editing, but neovim in tmux accessed over mosh is my preferred way of accomplishing the same task. I have also gotten a neovim gui to connect with a neovim instance over ssh, which worked pretty well until the ssh connection broke. But I prefer my editor in a terminal rather than terminals in my editor, so I switched back to my tmux based workflow.

I have mixed feelings about the name of this model. :P Though I suppose it's my own fault, naming myself after a letter.

I'm admittedly a bit surprised that there's a free/paid scheme for a 7b model though, as those are small enough to run locally. I suppose revenue streams are enticing and I can't fault the company for wanting to make money, but I'm also 100% against remote models for privacy reasons, making this a bit of a nonstarter for me. Depending on how heavily integrated this is, the mere presence of a remote-first prediction engine sorta turns me off the idea of the editor as a whole. If there were the option to run the model 100% local (sans internet) then I'd be more interested.

The sensitive readers please be advised, quite a bit of a rant and angry reactions coming in an overreacting style, please stop here if you are of the sensitive type. The comments are unrelated to this particular product but aimed at the universal approach of the broad topic nowadays. Zero intent of offending anyone specific person is attempted. I am fed up with all these predicting what I want to do. Badly!! Don't g…

Yep it should be configurable let me type at the very least the function name before you start predicting

The wife finishing your sentences is an interesting analogy... My wife and I are usually on the same page about things, so for many topics we can use short-hand or otherwise cut discussions short. It's like in the movie _Hackers_: "It's in the place I put that thing that time." We can say just enough between us that we verify we have a shared state, and if we aren't sure we can verify and adjust. With an LLM, if what…

My wife and I are just too different for this to happen. For the first 10 years or so we had the opposite happen a lot (multiple times a day for the first few years), where we thought we were on the same page, but had actually under-communicated. It still happens occasionally, but now we mostly overcommunicate about anything of any importance.

Our kids learned pretty quickly that if one parent was helping them with their homework, but had to leave to do something else, that asking the other parent for help was going to confuse them more, since we come at any given problem from a completely different direction.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Hey! Zed founder here. We totally agree with this and that's why Zed will switch the keybinding for accepting an edit prediction to `alt-tab` when the cursor is in the leading whitespace of a line. This way you can keep using `tab` for indenting in that situation. Also, when there's both an edit prediction and and LSP completion, Zed switches the keybinding to `alt-tab` to prevent the conflict with accepting an LSP c…

Hi. Could you explain how you plan to make money with the model while open-sourcing it? It seems contradicting to me.

Not everyone can, or wants to set up running a local model. And it'll probably be slower on most users GPUs then what zed runs it on.

I don't think this is a concern. Zed and Zeta are both open source. Fork it, self host it, whatever.
