I’m not seeing anything in the data collected that I wouldn’t want to be sent if the app crashed.
Neat. I use Zed at work, but now also having it on my personal desktop will be nice. Bye, VSCode.
On my system, just one note that it didn’t render a menu bar. Not that I use it much anyway, just had to find the default keybind to open the keybinds config (btw: ctrl K |> ctrl S) and pasted what I used from work (then bulk-replaced all cmd’s with ctrl’s)
Theme change was not sticking on first launch, but second launch I guess it realized “Oh, I’m supposed to be this color now. Got it”. Ligatures don’t do, but it is a preview and that’s just an aesthetic.
How do you deal with lack of plugin support?
Which plugins? I dont really care about many of them. Does the editor type my funny robot words and help me make sure the words I typed made sense for the language (aka, language servers)? Yes? Good.
In that case, why aren’t you using any other editor that can do the same? Why not just use VSCode?
I was using VSCode prior. VSCode works, sure, I just like the layout and flow of how I have Zed configured at the moment.
Also, preferably less Microsoft in my everything
I have been unable to launch it though
If you like Atom, Pulsar is basically Atom continued under a different name.
Oh man, thanks for this, I didn’t know that there was a still-live form of Atom and I’ll have to check this out.
For sure! Ya I was happy to find it as letting MS force me into their world was not something I was willing to let happen and I didn’t find another FOSS editor that was appropriate for my needs.
so … Xed vs Zed?
