After around 20 years of using Vim, in December last year I switched to Zed as my main editor. Since some friends have asked me about the switch — “Now that you work at Zed, are you using Zed instead of Vim?” — I thought I’d write about it. You now know that I did switch, yes, so what’s left to talk about is the Why.
I can see that you're writing go code... So I thought I should give it a try ... apologies if my question is naive... I'm quite fond of Zed but sadly I don't know how can I use it in my go project. I don't have any issues unless I'm editing a file which contains a build tag and then the whole autocomplete or finding references doesn't work anymore ... I tried to play a bit with the config but couldn't figure out what to do ... I think this guy on Github have the same issue as me and perhaps describe it better than I 😅https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/4660#issuecomment-1908629303
Thank you very much for sharing your experience. I'm quite looking forward for the cool new things that will be shipped with Zed in the future. And all the best for your new job 🙂
One of the best things I love about vim/neovim is that migration to new machines or ssh server manipulations aren't hard.
But I can imagine that if Zed has vim mode. You can just use the same very vim motions on ssh sessions.
What do you think about Zed support in the future? Vim/Neovim is already rooted, hard, what do you think about Zed?
How do you debug go on Zed?
