Even after figuring this out for myself I still struggle to do it fluently.

There's a setting that will allow you to double-click to open a file from the multibuffer which I find more natural:

  { "double_click_in_multibuffer": "open" }

I am really, really starting to like Zed. I noticed recently that it now respects my EditorConfig files, which was one of my biggest gripes before recently. In general almost everything that I didn't love about Zed has been fixed.

I have only tried it a couple of times, but Zed's AI assistant view indeed works as promised, doing about as well as Cursor does.

Now there's just one thing that is a bit annoying... It's kind of heavy on the GPU. I mean it looks and runs great, but it really loves to suck the battery out of a device that's running on battery. But frankly, I've been ready to ditch text editors based on web browsers basically since they became "in vogue" and have just been waiting for the right thing to show up. As time goes on, I think it becomes more and more obvious that Zed is "the right thing".

I don't know if there's anything we can do to make sure Zed succeeds sustainably and doesn't eventually get enshittified, but I'm crossing my fingers that for once we can have nice things.

Re GPU usage: noticed this myself a few months back and decided to poke around. Recommend turning off the minimap if you have it enabled. There seems to be some over-rendering that is exacerbated by it. It's actively being investigated and improved upon (0.192 was a great step in the right direction) but, even still, I've found it (currently) has a big positive impact once disabled.

Happy to answer any questions :)

Hiya. No questions but just an fyi: the version of `@fresh/init` mentioned in the article (`2.0.0-alpha.30`) fails to run. Looks like latest at this time (`2.0.0-alpha.33`) runs successfully.

If I understand this correctly, the `BroadcastChannel` API solves a similar purpose.

For more power try fish's abbreviations.

With `--position anywhere` you can expand an abbreviation even if it's not at the beginning of a line.

zsh also supports the "alias anywhere" concept (their term is "global alias") by using the `-g` flag.

   alias -g ag='2>&1 | grep'
   some-command ag 'words' # equivalent to: some-command 2>&1 | grep 'words'

Yes, also no Command-. to send CTRL-C is a glaring omission for an app intended to be native on the Mac. They got Command-K right, though.

But it’s an interesting project, I’m playing with it regularly.

This is possible with this newly released version. Just add this to your config.

  keybind = "cmd+.=text:\x03"

Question for those in the know:

Why would I use websockets over SSE?

sisk · 7 months ago
Websockets are bidirectional while SSE is unidirectional (server to client). That said, there's nothing stopping you from facilitating client to server communication separately from SSE, you just don't have to build that channel with websockets.
