I am one plugin away from moving to it directly instead of vscode. I really like it. It’s fast. It gets updates seemingly daily. I’ve never had it crash. It integrates LLMs well. It’s everything I wish vscode was if it were native.
Lucky you. It still crashes quite often for me and it drives me nuts that my Claude code history is lost every time…
But love the project and been using it for almost 2 years now though
Debug log says what about the crash?
Never thought to check the debug log.
I would say mostly with the agent panel going into panic in longer conversation or not able to proceed for some reason.
Claude code in terminal also has issues rendering. Never have that with vscode or iterm so I guess it’s zed related.
And sometime for eslint it won’t check ts errors then start adding false errors everywhere and become unusable if I don’t start over.
This too I’m curious about. If its memory related I have 36 of it on the work laptop if that helps
I used to feel this way, then a week or two ago, after an automatic update, it started hanging. All. The. Time for me. Launching the app now frequently takes 30 seconds before it shows me the “load a git repo” screen.
Speed was its main advantage, before. It has become nearly unusable.
The price of extraordinarily rapid iteration, I suppose.
FWIW I think I was experiencing the same hangs as you, and they seem to have resolved on their own now. Worth checking again just in case
I appreciate the info! Are you able to talk me through how to move a struct[class]?
I installed Zed a few days ago and have been trying to get acquainted myself.
It has far less built-in features for refactoring than other editors you might be coming from. It's handled at the LSP level, get the LSP for your language and hit cmd+ to see what it can do. I'm not working in Python or Rust at the moment (Elixir), but I'm sure they have some good extensions.
I don't get the question. albeit in vim I use just the navigation things and selectors and s/../.. to replace stuff I am probably using something like 1% of it's power.
I'm asking how to move a function, or class to a different module (including its methods, imports throughout the project etc), as an example of IDE-101 stuff I can't figure out how to do in Zed, and makes me think Zed might [i]not[/i] be a replacement.

What is the plugin you are waiting on?
Not OP but I can’t leave jet brains until a double shift search everywhere is implemented.
i dont use jetbrains products but you can map the command palette or the file search to double shift and have it function the same way. zed supports key chords for bindings perfectly well. just do "shift shift" and it should work
