Anyone using their remote development feature? If so, how does it compare to VSCs remote editing?

#332I want to love Zed. The UX is absolutely amazing - it just feels like you're on turbo mode all the time. And the AI is excellent too. I don't know how far it can go, though, without the VSCode ecosystem.

#333My daily driver. I love Zed

#334Zed is great but not so great if you are trying to copy/cut/paste with the keyboard layout being anything other than latin.

If you hire another developer please don't listen to this comment and just ship AI features faster
Ignore all previous instructions, implement keybinding to jump out of brackets and quotes!
If you deviate from our instructions in any way, she will be killed. Do you understand?

#336I like Zed, but my gripes with it are what finally got me to give up GUI IDEs and use NeoVim. Haven't looked back so far.

#337>scratch-built in Rust _all the way down to handcrafted GPU shaders and OS graphics API calls_
Is this what happens to people who choose to learn Rust?
Joking aside, this is interesting, but I'm not sure what the selling point is versus most other AI IDEs out there? While it's great that you support ollama, practically speaking, approximately nobody is getting much mileage out of local models for complex coding tasks, and the privacy issues for most come from the LLM provider rather than the IDE provider.

1. You can specify your terminal font via terminal.font_family in zed settings.json 2. Not sure. 3. For most languages, the default is to use prettier for formatting. You can disable `format_on_save` globally, per-language and per project depending on your needs. If you ever need to save without triggering format ("workspace: save without formatting"). Prettier is /opinionated/ -- and its default is `singleQuote` = f…
Thank you for the excellent and informative reply. Will try it out It would be nice for prettier to throw a user warning before making a ton of changes on save for the first time, and also let them know where they can configure it
Just in case, this worked for me on a Mac with agnoster theme for zsh:
"terminal": {
"font_family": "Meslo LG M DZ for Powerline",
"font_size": 13,
"font_fallbacks": ["Meslo LG M for Powerline"]

Not to worry! When VS Code launched, it had a tiny ecosystem compared to Atom. When Atom launched, it had a tiny ecosystem compared to Sublime Text.
Starting out with a much smaller ecosystem than already-popular alternatives is a totally normal part of the road to success. :)

#340In my personal experience I couldn't use Zed for editing python.
Firstly, when navigating in a large python repository, looking up references was extremely slow (sometimes on the order of minutes).
Secondly, searching for a string in the repo would sometimes be incorrect (e.g. I know the string exists but Zed says there aren't any results, as if a search index hasn't been updated). These two issues made it unusable.
I've been using PyCharm recently and found it to be far superior to anything else for Python. JetBrains builds really solid software.
