Zed

Lately, I've gotten super excited about @zeddotdev's open-source Agent Client Protocol. It's a fantastic way to pass a coding agent the exact context you're looking at in an IDE. That's why as a pat leave side project I built my own ACP client to replace my Claude Code usage!

Coming in tomorrow's release: granular per-tool permission settings for Zed's Agent. Configure regex patterns for any tool to always allow, deny, or ask. Your agent. Your rules.

Coming this Wednesday: LSP semantic token support. Zed can now use information from your language server for richer syntax highlighting. For example, highlighting of code snippets in Rust doc comments.

I've fully switched from VS Code to Zed for my code editing needs. The last boss was this, which Zed's workspace::SendKeystrokes handled perfectly without needing my agent to make me a Zed extension. x.com/sqs/status/202…

themes are art. editing JSON files to make them? not exactly a vibe. Learn why theming is hard to get right, and why we built the Zed Theme Builder: zed.dev/blog/theme-bui then go make something beautiful

One thing we learned is that people are not reading the word default well. Default. We understand it should be configurable. Thank u
