About

Productive coding starts with a tool that stays out of your way. Zed blends the power of an IDE with the speed of a lightweight editor for productivity you can feel under your fingertips.

Features:

  • Performance: Efficiently uses every CPU core and your GPU for instant startup, quick file loading, and responsive keystrokes.
  • Language-aware: Maintains a syntax tree for precise highlighting, and auto-indent, with LSP support for autocompletion and refactoring.
  • Collaboration: Real-time editing and navigation for multiple developers in a shared workspace.
  • AI Integration: Integrates GitHub Copilot and GPT-4 for natural language code generation.
