#52Earlier quoted context omitted.
macOS is a whole thing in terms of smooth scrolling, or HID (human interface devices) in general. It seems like Apple just doesn't put a lot of effort in terms of working with third-party HIDs: * There's a standard way to enable high-resolution scroll reporting (pixel-level instead of line-level), but Apple doesn't use it. * There's a standard approach to multi-touch digitizers/trackpads (documented and I think to so…
Last I checked, high-resolution scroll reporting over USB is not based on pixels but on fractions of a detent, which is annoying to say the least. Apple probably also didn't want to translate multitouch to scroll in hardware, since scrolls are not reported the same in all contexts (e.g. applications can choose whether it locks to an axis; which axes it can lock to depends on the capabilities of the view; etc.) > But.…

I'd just be happy if it let me use the multiplier; don't care if it's not exactly pixels.

That much doesn't seem unique to Apple; both Windows and Linux appear to prefer accepting raw multitouch data.

I don't think they're actually taking advantage of this. My MBP's built-in trackpad will lock into pinch/rotate gestures when the cursor's over say Zed or iTerm2. (Zed's a bad example actually, as it has no accessibility tree to speak of. But I think it will lock into pinch/rotate anywhere.)
And for my own app, as far as I know (I'd be very happy to be corrected) there's no way to inspect a view to know what kinds of gestures it supports. It certainly would be nice to eliminate the possibility of locking into pinch/zoom in a place where that's meaningless but I don't see a way to do it.
> Applications can choose to ignore synthetic events, IIRC. Probably not an issue for scrolling, but for instance Little Snitch can be configured to ignore synthetic inputs to its security settings.
Yuck. I'm doing everything this way, including cursor movement and taps. I hope I don't come across such an app/configuration.
Re: Zed Editor Theme-Builder
#53This 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.
I do a lot of markdown editing, techdocs, static site generator, and the gray on gray makes me want to swap back to VSCodium for that task.

#54Oh wow. I tried zed, but I couldn't get the colour scheme to make the whole thing look like the classic "cobalt" from gedit/gtksourceview. I am legit willing to pay fair $ if someone wants to build such a theme for me.

I actually even tried to get the AI models to build such a theme, but they couldn't figure it out! They would just generate something wrong. When that works, I'm interested!
Re: Zed Editor Theme-Builder
#56tried using zed, didn't understand how to set up claude code integration, went back to vscode where setting up claude code is trivial
Use the command palette to pick "agent: toggle" - that'll open the agent pane. Pick "Claude Agent" from the dropdown at the top if you see the Zed agent. Should be all you need.
Their ACP integration with Claude agent is extremely broken to the point of being almost unusable. It desyncs and breaks in other ways constantly requiring frequent IDE relaunch. I get that they want you to use their built-in agent but $200 Codex/CC plans are such a good deal it makes very little sense atm and the broken integration is just embarrassing...
Re: Zed Editor Theme-Builder
#57If Zed would have a remote development plugin that can attach to both containers, and Windows remote hosts, then it would be an awesome VSCode replacement one day.
Re: Zed Editor Theme-Builder
#58Was just using this to tweak a few settings in an existing theme. It was really helpful to finding out which theme token associates with which UI element.

That is cool. It's a shame DDH is who he is, which stops me using it.
The fact that he's so anti-immigration as an immigrant himself is so odd. My rather negative interpretation is he doesn't consider himself to be an immigrant which screams white supremacy.
Anti immigration or anti illegal immigration?
Re: Zed Editor Theme-Builder
#60Definitely a step in the right direction, always felt like new editors like Fleet (from Jetbrains) and Zed lacked quite a lot for themes
