Hidden Gems: Community Edition ยท zed-industries zed ยท Discussion #39680 Hey all, we just published Hidden Gems: Team Edition Part 1, the first in a series of blog posts where we document some of our favorite hidden features and personal workflows we use in Zed. We plan...

This is cool, any chance I could get you to document how you set this up here?

Hidden Gems: Team Edition Part 1 - Zed Blog From the Zed Blog: Team-favorite workflows and hidden features of Zed.

With ~900 PR merges per month, even we find it hard to keep up with every new Zed feature landing. ๐Ÿ˜…

Hidden Gems aims to showcase some of the not-so-obvious features and workflows that we rely on daily. Give it a read, and if you have hidden gems you rely on, let us know!

Received! We'll get this sorted out for you. Really sorry about this. Spring is not even "insanely long" with their wait times, it's just downright absurd. We'll be launching with a much better merch distributor in the near future, one where you don't have to wait 4 months to get your stuff.

Hey Max, could you shoot me an email at joseph(at)zed(dot)dev with your address and size? We are changing merch platforms because we aren't happy with the current. Really sorry about this.

Hey Harry, we think we've identified where the regression came from and will be doing a revert on the PR that caused it, we'll get a patch out soon to address this.

We don't have any special interest in it. We support all sorts of models: remote, local, big, large. We simply added support because it was being requested.

We can't wait for you all to get your hands on the new assistant in Zed.

Stashes are something we will add too.

We don't have stash support yet. Our git launch included a handful of the most requested features, but we are working to add additional git features incrementally now. We're currently working on being able to review past commits in Zed, and conflict resolution should be coming as well.

Hey Daniel, super love reading your incredibly kind words about Zed and happy to hear things are going well. We don't plan to charge for the editor itself - we'll be focusing on generating revenue via subscriptions around collab and AI, and possibly charging for enterprise features.

28.03.2025 12:11 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

We're dropping an entirely rewritten assistant and agentic editing relatively soon! Going to be a big leap.

You can also temporarily toggle them when holding down configured modifiers:

inlay_hints": {
"toggle_on_modifiers_press": {
"control": true,
"shift": true,
"alt": true,
"platform": false,
"function": false
}
}

The user never interacts with this function directly, it is a private function called by one of the public API functions. As an additional benefit, I don't need to hardcode advancing the fake clock in my tests, as the prod code does it automatically.
