Is there somewhere a good feature comparison table between Zed, Helix, VIM, NeoVIM, EMACS, etc.? Or the same but for goals/scope?

#32Earlier quoted context omitted.
I get those too, but the Zed window is still open and I'm able to edit a file just fine. I'm on Fedora 38 FWIW.
Hmm, the process segfaults right after, so I assumed this was the cause. Looking at the output again, I think there's another unrelated issue that happens at the same time, where Vulkan is unable to start due to ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER. EDIT: Yes, I was missing a driver. I had a driver installed (amdvlk), but that apparently didn't work, and vulkan-radeon does.
I was able to reproduce the segfault in a project with millions of files. It spat out a JSON blob saying something about
Could not start watcher on parent directory: Error { kind: MaxFilesWatch, paths:

#33Everytime I see this I think of zed that camw with Zortech c v1 (M/S DOS) that had an editor called zed. To me it was a very good DOS c package.

#34I wish zed and warp join forces to develop a rust gui toolkit that is truly cross platform

#35I’m using Zed on macOS and like it so far. Only thing I wish they add is remote development like VSCode has. Zed seems to be focusing on collaborative development and the integrated AI assistant, but feels like remote programming is something closer to a lot more people’s use cases. I’d be willing to pay for a seamless remote experience with Zed.
sshfs/rclone as solution?
those give you access to modify remote files - vscode gives you remote search, debugging, building, testing, port forwarding, reproducable self-contained disposable environments, ...

#37Is anyone using zed with success? I tried to use but it seemed slow to search compared to sublime. Lots of features were nicer, but search is my most used feature. From all the other possibilities, this seem the one that I am more inclined to successfully transition to. I really liked sublime when I switched, but now it feels stuck in the past. I am waiting for the right time to try again. If you are using and liking…
I have been using for work & hobbies since the Setember 2023. It is not perfect, good enough to me though.

#38I like Zed a lot but decided not to keep it because it has a direct connection with an AI assistant via a separate AI chat window/console. I prefer my software not to have any AI in it -- at least make it something that can be removed from the interface like in VS Code (Copilot there is optional).
You can remove all the AI stuff from the settings "collaboration_panel": { "button": false }, "assistant": { "version": "1", "button": false }, "chat_panel": { "button": false }, "notification_panel": { "button": false },
How do I know hiding the button/panel actually turns it off?
Sorry mate, I want my editor dumb until I tell it otherwise. One of the main criticisms against vscode was the by-default analytics.

#39Starts super quickly and offered downloading omnisharp along with needed language server when I opened a c# source file. The only thing holding me back from exploring it more is that it has no window decorations so I can't easily manipulate the window (under Gnome with Wayland)
Alt (or is it super)+left mouse can move it, and right mouse can resize.

You can do most of that with sshfs, It isn't much different than a mounted drive.
