Yes! Now I can have shortcuts to run and debug tests. Ever since snippets were added, Zed has all of the features I could ask for in an editor.
José Valim
Creator of Elixir
I've had my mind blown using Zed with Claude 3.5 Sonnet. I wrote up a few sentences around a research idea and Claude 3.5 Sonnet delivered a first pass in seconds. When I spotted some small mistakes, I highlighted the parts I wanted to change and shared feedback for it to fix. I was able to go from idea to running experiment code in half an hour—it was really easy and fun.

This is obviously a product built with love and care. I can tell it from two minutes of using it. Kudos to the team.

My god it is so fast. Boot time, UI interaction, typing latency. I feel it. I knew VS Code always felt sluggish, but I didn't realize how good things could really be. I'm honestly astounded.
Matt Baker
Principal Engineer
I’ve started using Zed, and I love it. Lots of subtle innovations (multibuffers, inlay hints, collaboration). Thoughtful, precise design. And the speed, the speed!
Mike Bostock
Creator of D3.js, founder of Observable
Incredibly powerful out of the box. And it only gets better as, every week, there's always a new version.
Parallel Agents
Run multiple threads of your favorite agents across several projects so you never leave your flow.
Debugger
Built on the Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP), native support for debugging across multiple programming languages.
Agentic Editing
Zed natively supports agentic editing, enabling fluent collaboration between humans and AI.
Native Git Support
First-class support for staging, committing, pulling, pushing, viewing diffs, and many more Git operations.
Edit Prediction
A tool that anticipates your next move. Powered by Zeta2, our open-weight language model.
Remote Development
Your machine only runs the Zed UI, while the actual codebase runs on a remote server.
Multibuffer editing
Multibuffers compose excerpts from across the codebase in one editable surface.
Vim-friendly
First-class modal editing via Vim bindings, including features like text objects and marks.

Zed doesn't lock you into one model, it gives you the fastest way to collaborate with any agent.
