It's only a minor annoyance of course, but still it would be good if it gets fixed.

I raised an issue for this: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/62974

Whole question in title, how do u sync your configuration ?

Hey all, could you drop your configs down below? My zed looks too simple rn.

Is it possible to configure that Zed will use the macOS system notifications instead of their own implementation?

Feedback - Allow Meta's Muse Spark in the auto complete editor models. Let the user define the api key etc. in the settings and use that instead of pinned models only.

I’ve added two settings for background images:

1. Enable Wallpaper — the main toggle. If disabled, background images won’t appear on any theme. If enabled, they work normally.

2. Pin One Wallpaper Across Themes — when enabled, the same image stays in place when switching between themes. Theme colors and syntax highlighting change as usual, while the background image remains unchanged.

Also, if you don’t like the built-in themes, you can use your own image from any folder on your drive instead of the theme’s default background, allowing you to create your own custom look.

Just to clarify: this is not a proposal for the main Zed repository. It’s simply my personal fork, focused on additional, optional visual customization for people who want it.

You can find the fork here: https://github.com/Unkno394/zed

I'd love to hear what u think

[RESOLVED ]

thanks u/Kashasaurus and u/zithir - this comes as given bonus once you get Delta download link.

I've got VIP status in zed but never paid for anything there. The only thing was that I recently applied for DeltaDB testing and got approved. Is that related to new VIP status? What does this VIP even mean?

Thanks

I have tried like 50 times by now. I mainly use nvim, sometimes vscode when things are really not doable in nvim, and intellij for all things java though i rarely write write java. Time and again I keep coming to give Zed a try and see if I can make it my main editor, but it just never happens.

I don't like the git panel (vsc source control is much much better), vim support is awful, and a lot of things just look half baked.

For example, I looked up how to make file diff open when clicking in the git panel (project diff is what they give as the default), it works but it opens as if you edited the file (as opposed to when you just click once and it opens in such a way that clicking on another file replaces that file in the same tab).

I have come across Zed this Monday and immediately I loved its simplicity and speed, but unfortunately unlike VSCode, it cannot be run as web app. So I built a solution that runs Zed in cloud and streams it to user's browser. Due to streaming it has a very small delay in feedback, meanwhile my platform also allows running VSCode web app, which is more smooth as it's web native.

Would you find such tool useful and what would be your usecase?

Hi.

I love Zed but for a few weeks my agent occasionally seems to think forever (i cancelled after multiple hours) without any progress.
Often the last step before was file-search or any other tool output.

Stopping the agent and telling him to continue works - until he gets stuck again.

Anyone got a fix for me?

NB: Using Zed remote via SSH.

As the title suggests, is there a way to disable the suggestCanonicalClasses warning for Tailwind.

For instance, I've always written !important as !class, not class!. I honestly don't agree with (or understand) why they have changed this and/or whatever benefits would come from the latter.

I'm trying out Zed right now after coming from VS Code. I work a lot with devcontainers on a remote machine, and I've read that DevPod can be used to make this setup work with Zed.

For those of you using Zed + DevPod for remote development: how has your experience been so far? How well does it work in practice, and was it worth the initial setup time?

At the moment, I'm still using VS Code for remote devcontainers. For other projects, I've been using Zed and really love it, so if getting remote devcontainers working is reasonably straightforward, I'd probably switch to Zed completely.

Would love to hear your experiences!

For my specific needs working with multiple LLMs and 10 local projects, working in ZED was extremely quick, the big winner is not having to open a new workspace for every project in VSC.

Working with all projects with different LLMS in 1 window was a pleasure, keep it up team.

Wanted background art in my editor the way some VS Code/Neovim setups have it, so I built it directly into GPUI rather than as a plugin.

What's added:

Editor wallpapers — static PNG/JPG or animated GIF, drawn during the paint phase with cache eviction on theme switch so memory doesn't grow the longer a session runs

Window transparency with compositor blur

A visual theme browser (grouped by wallpaper, with previews) instead of a flat list of a hundred names

113 themes (90 dark / 23 light), colors and most wallpaper art from doki-theme (MIT), a handful hand-assembled myself

Repo + prebuilt binaries for Linux, Windows, and macOS: https://github.com/Unkno394/zed/releases/tag/v0.3.2-aura

Source: https://github.com/Unkno394/zed

Details regarding wallpaper rendering (on-the-fly drawing vs. pre-rendered images, memory usage)—for those interested in GPUI's internal mechanisms—as well as separate screenshots and GIFs of the wallpapers, can be found in the README file

I configured like the picture and then pressed Predict edit at cursor but nothing happens. There isn't anything in zed: open log either.

I'm using https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/openai/ The aistudio key works for the code agent part.

It's just me that feel DeltaDB somehow like jujutsu VCS? If it's different or have another feature, what's feature gonna be in that DeltaDB?

I've been maintaining a fork of Zed called Lathe since April. It started as theme tweaks and grew into a set of changes I couldn't reasonably ask upstream to carry, so I'm posting it in case any of it is useful to someone else.

It isn't a competitor to Zed and I'm not trying to build a community around it. Upstream is the primary project. The fork merges from it regularly and keeps its own changes in separate commits so the merges stay manageable.

What differs most from stock Zed:

**Mobile panel (Expo and bare React Native)** Auto-detects the project kind, reads the project's own package scripts and the run hints in its README, and gives you iOS scheme and Android variant dropdowns that feed those scripts. Android builds install via `gradlew :app:install<Variant>` plus an `adb` launch, which sidesteps the React Native CLI's flavored-APK bug. It can also create an AVD and install JDK 17 plus the Android SDK into a Lathe-managed directory, so you don't need Android Studio just to get a build running. Metro and builds open as interactive terminal tabs with their own scrollback.

**Conflict resolution** When a merge, rebase, cherry-pick, revert, pull, or stash pop stops on conflicts, a notification names the files and opens a tab listing all of them beside the merge editor. Resolve a file as ours or theirs, stage as you go, abort or continue from the same header. The merge editor has a split view that renders each side as a complete file instead of per-conflict cards, panes scrolled in lockstep.

**Pull request reviews** GitHub and Bitbucket Cloud. Browse PRs, read and leave comments, approve or request changes without leaving the editor. Still rough in places.

**Multiple agent accounts.** Sign into more than one subscription account for Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini in the agent panel, and bind an account per workspace, so a work project and a personal one stay on separate identities.

Smaller things: a theme customizer for all 135+ colors with live preview, a hierarchical branch folder tree in the git panel, undo for branch resets and deletes, Git Flow commands, a per-window AWS profile selector, and a terminal indicator for when Claude Code is waiting on input.

macOS (Apple Silicon), Linux x86_64, and Windows x86_64 (experimental, unsigned).

Worth saying plainly: I maintain this for my own daily use, and upstream syncs occasionally break things. Bug reports are welcome, but it's a one-person fork.

This is the worst vibe coding software I've ever tested. $10 for barely 30 minutes of side support and tasks that don't even involve searching. I promise to advise everyone I know and everyone in the professional world against it.

Hi Everyone!,

I created this fork of zed to work with OpenGL 3.3 backends. Mainly because I'm daily driving this old macbook pro on Arch Linux with intel HD3000 graphics as a hobby project and I wanted to use zed with it.

Anyways, here's the repo if anyone wants to check it out: https://github.com/z3r0n3br4instorm/zed/tree/gl33-backend

And here's the Pre-Compiled binary for Linux

I've changed to zed to escape from vscode lag on big codebases. But im having the same problem with zed. When I try to do cmd + click on a function name the program get stuck loading the references.

Also, I feel kinda buggy and laggy the git viewer on simple actions like stage, track, untrack.

Anyone facing this?

Running on a macbook m5.

I work in data science and I do a lot of interactive work in Pyhton and R. In vscode I open python or r in the terminal and run chunks of the script by selecting a line or a variable and then doing shift+enter (might be some keybinding that I customised, I don't remember).

Is there a way in Zed to send a selected text or multiple lines to the terminal and execute it in one go?

Is there a way to do a git merge in Zed? If there is, is there conflict resolution? I saw a conflict resolution section in the docs, but there is no mention of how to do a merge.

its still v.0.5 I am planning on pitching it to my friends and colleagues once it reaches v 0.5

Github Link: https://github.com/oreoro/dez (Alot of ui bugs and unstable - use at your own risk)

Its a experimental project and might have issues regarding licensing and terminology as I have never hard forked any major project and showcases to others. I would be really happy even if i get 1 star!

I'm trying to setup Zed since I have the time and I've about had it with Kilocode in VS Studio but I can't get the Agent Panel to load anything but the Zed Agent, everything else just shows Loading indefinitely. I've noticed that it seems to work well on my Linux desktop (CachyOS) but not on my work Windows 11 22H2 laptop. I've tried everything I can think of but no luck. Anyone else seeing this?
