One issue I've struggled with in Zed is full language support (linters/formatters). Has anyone at the Zed team thought about integrating a metalinter like Trunk Check (https://docs.trunk.io/check)?
Zed, a collaborative code editor, is now open source

#72A really really solid editor with some very good choices made, with exactly one exception: The LLM integrations. It's annoying to disable (3+ settings in different ways?) and by default on.

#73How many people find real time sharing helpful? I've never found it to be beneficial. I'm curious.
Zed developer here, You can come try it out with us right now if you like: https://zed.dev/channel/zed-283 Though you'll have to sign the CLA first :)
Thanks for the offer. I unfortunately don't have a mac but I appreciate it :)

Re: Zed, a collaborative code editor, is now open source
#76So what is the play here with Zed being open source? How does Zed make money here?
They address this in the linked article, under the heading "Wait... Doesn't Cash Rule Everything Around Me?".
f.e.,
> Zed Channels is one example of such a service. It's free for anyone today, but we intend to begin charging for private use after a beta period of experimentation. Providing server-side compute to power AI features is another monetization scheme we're seeing getting traction.

#77I 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)
Re: Zed, a collaborative code editor, is now open source
#78I like it!
FEATURE REQUEST :)
Would it be possible to have option+click+drag create multiple cursors where you drag and not a selection with cursor at the end? Basically, the behaviour that Sublime Text has—Sublime Text's multiple cursors are, frankly, awesome.
I have found shift+option+drag to create a rectangle, but no way to create vertical lines of cursors through lines of text, and my favourite—drag down to the right of your code to put cursors at the end of every line. I use that all the time: scrape to the right hit ctrl+a to get to the start of a line, cut out and replace text, ctrl+e to the end, add more text etc. Really useful for turning data into code.
Option+click+drag is one of the most useful features of Sublime Text and my muscle memory is stuck to it — to the point where I keep Sublime Text around purely for the feature (well, this, the fantastic sort/permute lines options, and the live-highlight of regex searches that give you instant feedback of whether your regex is working correctly). Sublime Text is where I do all my data formatting, and where I test every regex before using it in my code.

#79Consider discarding the CLA if you anticipate third-party contributions. If you need to verify provenance, the Developer Certificate of Origin is a better approach. Otherwise, this (correctly) reads as a project which intends to take advantage of FOSS contributors for a while before pulling the rug and making it non-free again.
