tried using zed, didn't understand how to set up claude code integration, went back to vscode where setting up claude code is trivial

#22If you use Omarchy, the 3.8 update includes dynamic theming for Zed. It's very cool: https://github.com/APS6/omazed
That is cool. It's a shame DDH is who he is, which stops me using it.
Re: Zed Editor Theme-Builder
#23Zed is "almost there" for me. The theme builder is good and easy to use, and I only needed a few minutes to make my own. Syntax coloring is almost there, but still lacking (I use C/C++) Small visual adjustment like line height in the UI text is not configurable enough (only two settings) Scrolling should have a smooth option, nothing prevents it, it should be super easy to add, I find it easier on the eyes when I mov…
Scrolling is perfectly smooth when you use a trackpad. IMO, clickwheels are a legacy technology for scrolling (even when I use Windows, I left-hand a Magic Trackpad so I still have smooth analog scrolling).
Re: Zed Editor Theme-Builder
#24A feature request of sorts. An option to reveal and highlight the element the color is for would be cool. There are so many colors and so many elements of the UI that it’s not immediately obvious where it is to properly see the changes I make.
Re: Zed Editor Theme-Builder
#25I'm extremely glad to see something like this. I've tried to use Zed so many times, and this might sound neurotic -- but there are just so many little theming things that make a difference to me. For example, https://imgur.com/a/ia2GCgg -- top is VSCode, bottom is Zed. Both using Svelte, and using a similar theme. - Angle brackets are a different color - Capitalized built-in components are a different color - Boolean…
I don't use zed or svelte, but this looks like the zed picture is missing a treesitter parser for svelte. Many editors have basic regex-based highlighting for many languages, and optional, more advanced, highlighting available through extensions. You may also get some semantic highlights provided by a language server if your editor uses the Language Server Protocol as well.
I found one extension from a web search. Did you try this? https://zed.dev/extensions/svelte
Re: Zed Editor Theme-Builder
#26This is super cool - Started using Zed a couple weeks ago. Is there also something like a Theme gallery? Where one can look at Themes other people created? I would imagine not everyone has the inspiration to build their own "form scratch" but would still love to customize.

Scrolling is perfectly smooth when you use a trackpad. IMO, clickwheels are a legacy technology for scrolling (even when I use Windows, I left-hand a Magic Trackpad so I still have smooth analog scrolling).
I never liked trackpad. I am an avid RTS player, the mouse is by far the superious input device.
Besides, I never work on a laptop.
And this is a lame excuse. Smooth scrolling should also work when using keyboard with and pageup/pagedown, at least as an option and with some tuning preferences.
Re: Zed Editor Theme-Builder
#28This feels shallow, but one of the biggest things keeping me from using zed is the lack of a good default dark theme. The defaults all feel very low contrast, gray on gray that makes the experience feel dull and off putting to me, even if the editor itself is great.
It's not just you and it's not just Zed. Dark themes tend to be low contrast gray on gray. I usually look for a dark theme that looks good and then make a custom version with darker the background colors and brighter the foreground colors. Maybe it's time for to start publishing high contrast dark themes instead of just fixing it for myself.
That's what I did: https://github.com/tuzemec/zedokai-darkest-machine

The arrow keys do scroll smoothly in Safari from my testing, but a clickwheel does not. Probably because scrolling inputs are meant to be precise.

#30How come I see my own github avatar in the designed editor along with others? I assume people also visiting the builder? Not very cool if I may say so.
