I find it more effective (for me) to keep my AI tools separate from VS code. It helps me control when I actually apply AI

Honestly, this is a weak point of Zed IMO. I just find it a bit confusing to deal with. I don't know exactly how to get it to jump to the location of a specific block in the multi-buffer view, e.g. a Find in Files view. I double click various places in the UI until it goes to the file and sometimes I have to scroll to where I was at in the multi-buffer view. It's very frustrating. I think it could be made to work bet…
I believe what you want to do is click on the line numbers, which should take you to that exact point in the file.
Could it really be that simple?!
Holy shit. It really is that simple.
Thank you.

#13I am really, really starting to like Zed. I noticed recently that it now respects my EditorConfig files, which was one of my biggest gripes before recently. In general almost everything that I didn't love about Zed has been fixed. I have only tried it a couple of times, but Zed's AI assistant view indeed works as promised, doing about as well as Cursor does. Now there's just one thing that is a bit annoying... It's k…
Re GPU usage: noticed this myself a few months back and decided to poke around. Recommend turning off the minimap if you have it enabled. There seems to be some over-rendering that is exacerbated by it. It's actively being investigated and improved upon (0.192 was a great step in the right direction) but, even still, I've found it (currently) has a big positive impact once disabled.

#14Do you know what I like more than AI in my IDE (which I adore, by the way)? It's an IDE that respects the developer.

Even after figuring this out for myself I still struggle to do it fluently.

Yep, fwiw there's often live coding interviews done in the editor of your choice that require AI to be off.
As in even if you love AI and use it a lot you should have the ability to turn it off.

#17What I'd really like is an option to disable the automatic multi-buffer behavior for things like git diffs. It just doesn't work for me, and the Zed UX seems to not even realize that not everyone will love it.

Took me a bit to find this, but you can click on a line number in multi-buffer to open that file at that location. I think their default assumption is for you to not use the mouse much.
If you're using vim mode g+[space] will open the file where your cursor is. I think it's alt+return in normal mode but either way there's a shortcut hint on the right side of the header for the file your cursor is currently in.

#18I mean all good but I still wonder if building an editor is really sustainable you basically only fight for new coders everybody else will just stay with vs or IntelliJ because of muscle memory
I know you can share keymaps but it never works 100%
Like I must’ve been tremendously more disappointed with my current ide to even consider switching

Mind elaborating?

It hasn't been a huge deal: I'm still getting a decent number of hours doing work on battery on my Framework 16, and usually I can plug into AC for a little bit if it gets too low. That said thanks for the information; I'll have to keep it in mind.
