Zed

Moondust https://moondustthe.me/ is an interesting muted color theme with almost no syntax coloring with things being different shades of grayish blue. It is for VSCode so I tried to port it to @zed , and eventually got AI to fill in the blanks for me.

Here is the theme file https://gist.github.com/asibahi/596b9af9db8074514b90de32cf86dfe7

And here is the dark mode screenshot.

So I started a #Vibecoding experiment today and so far it ended up pretty fun. Do others want to run issues through their AI Agents? https://github.com/Toasterson/oxifed

Made with @zed and #rustlang

Still very alpha but I have run out of Quota for now.

EDIT: Updated the README to be more clear what I want out of the experiment. It's a fun playground and part of that fun are proper goals.

@zed is quickly becoming my general-purpose LLM/GPT interface (not just coding). The MCP support is phenom. The Markdown artifacts are great/thorough. It's also fast and can talk to the internet to get content (thx to MCP).

Trying out @zed (v0.180.2) and so far looking pretty good, it'll take a bit of getting used to after VSC but if it continues to improve... you never know. ;)

I hardcoded size and position values in Sway to hide it outside the screen.

Here they are for 1366x768:

for_window [app_id="dev.zed.Zed"] floating enable, \
                                    resize set width 1387 px, \
                                    resize set height 830 px, \
                                    move position -15 -75


bindsym $mod+2 workspace number 2, \
    for_window [app_id="dev.zed.Zed"] floating enable, \
                                        resize set width 1387 px, \
                                        resize set height 810 px, \
                                        move position -8 -60

This won't work unless I keep Zed in workspace 2 though.

If I don't re-run the command when switching workspaces Zed changes position and breaks my hack. There should be a better solution to the workspace problem.

Edit: I know I input different values in both cases, but it doesn't work otherwise.

Hi all!

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm somehow stuck to open a file of a project in a separate window (to put it on another monitor)

I'm fed up with CLion and VSCode is too far from my vim past. So zed seemed like a nice choice, where I don't need to put so much work into getting a working dev env, as I would with (neo)vim - and also caring about extension compatibility with updates is a thing here...

So zed really seemed nice, but after getting my toes wet on my laptop, I switched to my workstation with 3 monitors and I can't find a way to have my project files open on my monitors/in different windows.

Am I just stupid or what am I doing wrong?

Googling told me, that other people have the same problem, but I can't really accept that a modern code editor isn't able to show a file in a different window.

Is this still true?
That sadly would be a show killer, as I can't even open up the same project in a separate zed instance - it just switches to the existing open project

Any help here would be really appreciated.
I really don't want to fall back to CLion - again :⁠'⁠(
Especially as that one is getting more and more bloated and even with the same settings currently behaves different on my laptop and workstation. But it could be that I'm just missing something here...and that's not really the topic anyway

Thanks in advance!

A short user story. Nothing new, but probably relatable to some.

I noticed a strange silent error: when having a typo in keymap.json file, for example "ctlr-space" instead of "ctrl-space", the whole keymap is ignored and default key bindings are active instead. Why isn't there any error message? So pay attention to your keymap.json modifications!

Hi, could someone please help me with this: what is the keybinding to open those pop-up windows which show the function description? See my screenshot. In other editors it's sometimes called "code lense".

I've looked everywhere and I simply cannot find it (if I only knew how the action is called in the settings file...). I'm using a tiling window manager, so I don't want to use the mouse every time. Thanks.
