Description:

Code at the speed of thought
Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter.

Stay in flow
Productive coding starts with a tool that stays out of your way. Zed combines the power of an IDE with the responsiveness of a lightweight editor for productivity you can feel under your fingertips.

Engineered for performance
Zed efficiently leverages every CPU core and your GPU to start instantly, load files in a blink, and respond to your keystrokes on the next display refresh. Unrelenting performance keeps you in flow and makes other tools feel slow.

Language-aware
Zed maintains a full syntax tree for every buffer as you type, enabling precise code highlighting, auto-indent, a searchable outline view, and structural selection. Zed also speaks the Language Server Protocol to provide autocompletion, code navigation, diagnostics, and refactorings.


Introducing multi-buffers
Multi-buffers combine excerpts from multiple files into a single virtual buffer. Whether you're burning down compile errors, finding references to a method, or working with project-wide search results, you can edit across files with multiple cursors – all without switching tabs.


In the box
Integrated terminal
Zed integrates a full-featured terminal, giving you shell access in the same place you edit code. Use the built-in dock to position and toggle it anywhere you want, or use it to hold other tabs.

Vim Mode
Keep your fingers on their keys with a searchable command palette, VS Code style default bindings, and Vim-style modal editing. New to relying on shortcuts? Tooltips show key bindings so you work faster next time.

Themes
Zed ships with a variety of light and dark themes out of the box. Closer to 1.0 Zed will also provide a way to create your own theme, or load a theme someone else has created.
