Do either Windsurf or Cursor work well with local or no AI? One of the things I like about Zed is that it can, and is completely free.
Excuse me, can you read what I wrote? I didn't say zed editor is bad, I just said that zed's PREDICT EDIT isn't good enough, or at least it shouldn't charge for it.

I was a little sus, so I checked: https://imgur.com/a/AJFQjfL 897MB! But it appears to have installed itself twice for some reason. Maybe one is an 'update' which it didn't clean up...? I'm not sure. Edit: I just opened it and it cleaned itself up. 408MB now. I guess it was in the process of upgrading.
So the upgrades are not delta diffs either?

Welcome to static linking of large applications. The world moved into dynamic linking in the 1980's for a reason. It is cool to advocate for a return to static linking when it is basic CLI tools.

Unfortunately, I tried to use zed as my daily driver, but the typescript experience was subpar. While the editor itself was snappy, LSP actions like "jump to declaration" were incredibly slow on our codebase compared to VS Code / Cursor.
Electron compiles NodeJS with v8's pointer compression which leads to an up to 50% decrease in memory usage, and might speed it up too.

I'm glad there's finally some progress in that direction. If they actually implement subpixel RGB anti-aliasing, it would definitely be worth considering as an alternative. It's been surprising to see so many people praise Zed when its text rendering (of all things) has been in such a state for so long.
Tbh though, is subpixel text rendering really all that important anymore when high resolution monitors are common now and low-dpi is the exception?

Just wanted to mention that some basic Windows-OS keyboard shortcuts don't work, like ALT+F to open the File menu. Also things like ALT+SPACEBAR to bring up the system context menu for the focussed window (the menu with maximise, minimise, close options etc.) do not seem to work. I'm guessing with the DirectX rendering backend, the 'app' is rendered more akin to a video game than a native win32 process. Also after in…
400 mb for new project in this amazing bestest compiled language ever made is ridiculous.
I've been using Zed primarily for months but I just switched back to VSCode for 2 reasons, one of which is kinda my fault and the other it's unclear where the fault is. 1. I deleted a few hours of work because I was late night coding and I decided to rename a file before check-in and delete the old version. Well I renamed it and Right-Click -> Deleted the new version by accident. It turns out Zed has both "Delete" an…
Wait, what? That seems like an incredibly important missing piece of functionality.
