Been following zed for at least a year now.
Tried switching multiple times from vscode but it's just not feature complete for my use cases. Off top:
- no expanding tabs to fill the window until another one is clicked
- file picker hides .gitignored files
- vertical terminal tabs would be nice
- restart doesn't automatically load the previous window (most recent project)
- while faster/more responsive than vscode on large codebases, still pretty heavy compared to its AI-averse fork, gram; thus I can't use it on the macbook neo
Until some/all of that is improved, it's just uncanny valley territory with no particular killer feature to migrate. Appreciate all the work they've put into it (especially remote ssh parity!) though and like what they're doing in broad strokes
1. I'm pretty sure setting "Maximum Tabs" does what you want, but not positive.
2. Uncheck "Hide .gitignore" setting and it won't do this.
3. Agreed
4. This is configured in the "Restore on Startup" setting (I think you want "Last Session")
3. There's "workspace: new center terminal" command that opens terminal as a normal tab.
