I opened a random python project on my machine in Zed and it automatically loaded up an LSP for python. It looks like it's using the same one as my emacs uses (pyright), but it presents completion choices in a not particularly useful order. Typing `os.p` gives me for instance as completion choices:

  pwritev
  pwrite
  putenv
  popen
  pipe
  path
  P_ALL
  P_PID
  pread
  pardir
  P_PGID
  P_WAIT
... but then I type 'a' and then backspace and it gives some of the same choices, but in a different order

  P_ALL
  path
  pread
  pardir
  P_WAIT
  [etc]
here's a gif of it, I'm just typing and backspacing through "os.path" and watching the completions be in an unguessable order: https://snap.philsnow.io/2024-01-24T13-57-09.q7pyi8re104uqhn...

Is pyright just giving Zed all the possibilities and it's up to Zed to rank them? I don't know the details of editor/LSP integration. lsp-whatever in emacs ranks these choices in a reasonable order.

zed's great but they need to prioritise remote ssh like vscode. literally the main way most people do dev

I have never tried the remote ssh setup (even though vscodium is my primary editor). I don't know anyone who uses it daily, and I've never heard anyone irl mention doing it. I think you're slightly biased here by your experience, and assume everyone shares it.

Edit: hell, I've wanted to check remote ssh in vscodium now to know what I'm missing, and it looks like they basically contain MS DRM and are only compatible with official vscode. License is also proprietary[1] and makes it impossible to use it with vscodium or other OSS projects. Yikes.

It took me way too long to figure out that Zed exclusively runs on OSX. Why is that not in the first paragraph of their landing page? edit: It's not even on the landing page, or even on the about page! The landing page has an entire section, "Work with code on any machine"! This is worse than bad.

I have the same issue in Yandex Browser (based on Chrome) on Android.

You've chosen to let the Russians spy on your web browser?

I don't understand this comment because American/European governments (where I would guess most HN commenters are from) are almost certainly doing the same thing according to what we've learned about for example the NSA. Maybe you trust your own government more.

The thing about the Zed workflow that I don't understand is local servers. Say I were to develop a full-stack web app using some frontend meta-framework (e.g., Next.js) and a backend running locally for development (e.g., Supabase). How would that workflow work with Zed? I need that live preview/reload available to be productive. Some sort of feedback loop.

It’s a text editor… So you’re going to use whatever workflow you used before.

Isn't OSX Unix-based? I'm probably just ignorant, but what exactly does this mean? edit: oh you probably meant "Linux support" whoops ok

I can see "Linux support" though.

They mean Linux. Linux support is on there.

Mac uses a very different graphic stack.
