No way can I use a text editor that requires the hi-perf discrete gfx card. My battery just can't take it. Hope I can get all my work done in about 1.5 hours, because that's how long the 2019 16" mpb will last with the discrete card running.

#212> GPL for the editor, AGPL for server-side components). GPUI, the UI framework that powers Zed, will be distributed under the Apache 2 license, so that you can use it to build high-performance desktop applications and distribute them under any license you choose Interesting choice on licenses. —- I’m been super happy with Zed, my main requests (and I’ve sent in this feedback to them or contributed to existing GitHub…
Which GUI editors don't allow you to hide toolbars and widgets? Or is it the defaults that appeal to you?
Re: Zed, a collaborative code editor, is now open source
#213I'm generally a big fan of zed and have been using it for 60%ish of my dev time for 6 months or so. A couple of nice things to note: - It really is remarkably responsive,and makes one really notice how UNresponsive everything else is. I have reasonably fast machines, so we're not talking about the difference between 5ms typing lag and 500ms, but it's still pretty surprising. VSCode never felt slow on my macs until I…
Now I wonder what's the typing lag of 10xeditor, compared to Zed...

#214I hope this leads to Zed being ported to other platforms (Linux, please!)
Speaking of Linux, are there any other editors we can use today? I tried to look for one recently but couldn't find anything. (edit: I mean collaborative editors)
Gobby is mostly dead but still works. Win/Linux; macOS builds have gotten harder now that it's been about 3 years since the last release: https://gobby.github.io/
EDIT: It's apparently on Macports as of quite recently, though the port health for recent macOS releases looks bad.

#215zed's great but they need to prioritise remote ssh like vscode. literally the main way most people do dev
I'm not sure that claim is correct, but could you describe what that setup looks like, and the benefits? A link to something more is also fine

#216I looked at some random files, did not find a single comment, very strange.
What a weird statement. It's beautiful! You don't need comments, just read the code. No need to litter code with ambiguous language. The only place a comment fits is if the purpose is not clear from the code.
Re: Zed, a collaborative code editor, is now open source
#217The homepage has a benchmark that compares Zed's "insertion latency" to other editors, and this is the description:
> Open input.rs at the end of line 21 in rust-lang/regex. Type z 10 times, measure how long it takes for each z to display since hitting the z key.
Could someone clarify what that means? My interpretation of that was to go to https://github.com/rust-lang/regex/blob/master/regex-cli/arg... and start typing 'z' at the end of line 21, but that doesn't seem to make any sense. I guess that repo got refactored and those instructions are out of date?
Re: Zed, a collaborative code editor, is now open source
#218Really nice and fast (which is the reason I’m still using Sublime instead of VS Code). I’ve only found one piece of functionality that’s dramatically slow compared to Sublime so far: selecting all of the current highlight. In my current file I have 2,396 occurrences of ` `. Selecting all of them in Sublime (with ctrl + cmd + g) is certainly less than 200ms. Doing the same in Zed (with cmd + shift + l) beachballs my m…
Did you make an issue for that? (I'm sad about that too)
Re: Zed, a collaborative code editor, is now open source
#219This looks really nice, but I am confused why the install is over 350mb, including a 300mb binary. I thought Electron-based stuff was big but this is even somehow more!?

#220Earlier quoted context omitted.
As a senior engineer, it really helps when helping junior engineers. When I'm on a call and we're sharing screens it gets really annoying having to tell them "no, go up. Go up, all the way up, the button at the top. THE TOP"
This. The worst thing is that I get mad at them for not doing what I want them to, faster, when the tooling and my crooked explanations are at fault, not them. Not that I mention that out loud, but sometimes I feel ashamed for those feelings. Having real time collaboration that works so seamlessly as Zed apparently does would really get me to consider switching IDEs!
Seems like VNC or similar would be a better solution. Might need to use a terminal or other program. Instead of confining it to one application.
