While switching from vscode to zed I could not find this toggle to change the thinking effort in zeds panel for copilot.
I tried a few commands listed on website like toggle thinking effort menu and toggle thinking mode but could not find this menu.
FIrst image before and second after save. I just want to format the code on save withotu break lanes (the editor size would be the limit)
I am looking to use zed, but I can find/understand how to make claude work with it.
I come from pycharm, I use claude directly in pycharm, mostly of the ide integration on 'approval' of the changes.
It seems it isn't possible with zed ?
Thanks.
Hey, Since today morning, I am unable to install any Extensions. I have already tried re-installing Zed. extensions.zed.dev seems to be down from my side.
Could someone confirm if this is an ongoing server issue?
Edit: MacBook Pro Tahoe 26.4.1
Edit2: Tested on Windows 11 Machine just now and it's the same.
Hey Zed folks,
Quick context: Ghost Complete is an open-source terminal autocomplete engine (Rust, PTY proxy, no Accessibility API hacks). Think Fig, but it's alive and it runs as a transparent shell wrapper instead of a 200MB Electron blob.
Until last week it only worked in standalone terminals (Ghostty, Kitty, WezTerm, Alacritty, etc.). v0.9.0 adds first-class support for Zed's integrated terminal - popup rendering, prompt detection, and 709 Fig-compatible completion specs (git, docker, kubectl, npm, cargo, gh, you name it), all inside Zed.
What it gives you:
- Inline suggestions for 709 CLIs as you type, ranked by fuzzy match
- Git branches/tags/remotes as native suggestions (not subshell invocations)
- File/folder completion that actually respects cwd via OSC 7
- Sub-20ms keystroke-to-suggestion on a warm cache
Why post here: Zed's integrated terminal is fast but stock. If you live in it and you're tired of tab-mashing through git checkout, give it a shot and tell me where it breaks.
Repo: https://github.com/StanMarek/ghost-complete
Install:
brew install StanMarek/tap/ghost-complete
ghost-complete install
Feedback, bug reports, and "this is stupid because X" comments all welcome. Genuinely want to know what's missing and could be improved

Does anybody uses Vuejs with ZED IDE for production code? I tried possibly everything written in the Internet and it works like crap. SO is there somewhere any tutorial which will make VueJs. Specifically .vue files are the one I have biggest issues. No type hinting..nothing. The only benefit of the installed extension for the VueJs is the coloring of the source in the .vue files. That is all! So if anybody knows a tutorial or something which can guide me for a proper setup, I will be thankful.
I checked the github and other posts and it's supposedly is in development and preview for like 2 to 3 years.
Does anyone have any idea when it is getting released for stable. I am currently using repl and it's a good workaround but still lacking a lot.
A good jupyter support will surely give boost to the user base for the editor.
Hi, I am on Arch, KDE, I have KDE Wallet setup to store and use SSH Passphrase. It works within my system, but whenever I am using the 'Push' option from the Git Panel, it asks for the passphrase, how can I make Zed to use whatever the system is using for passphrase?
Hello everyone
I'm considering using Zed as my text editor instead of neovim but the one thing I can't seem to find a replacement for is neotest, especially the functionality of running the closest test ot my cursor and being able to spawn an output buffer with the test results which gets all the subsequent test runs.
Do you think I can replicate this flow with tasks or is there not a reliable way to replicate this?
Thanks :D
Interested to hear opinions on coding agents that natively support ACP - Vibe was ok and I like the configurability but the agent itself was underwhelming
(Not necessarily to be implemented within Zed - I'm playing around with different ACP implementations for local first agents)
Nowadays all providers have their CLI tools with much more features like copilot cli, gemini-cli or codex, however Zed ACP is also much wide now but limits some things
I’m at my wits' end and need to know if anyone else has seen this behavior. Today I’ve lost hours of work because my entire project directory - including my .claudemd memory folders-was wiped. Not just once, but twice.
The Context: I’m using Zed (v. latest) with the Minimax API via both Open Code and Claude Code. At first, I thought it was a fluke when Claude destroyed several folders, but I managed to recover them. However, the moment I used the Open Code editor in Zed, it triggered a mass deletion. Everything is gone—not even in the trash.
The Technical Mystery: I want to clarify one specific thing that makes this even weirder: I had a find command paired with -exec rm -rf in the terminal history, but it should NOT have deleted anything. The command errored out with "No such file or directory" before any deletion was ever attempted. The pathing was wrong, so the command literally couldn't find the targets to delete them.
The Confusion: Despite that command failing, the folders vanished shortly after using the Open Code interface.
I previously used Antigravity, and while it had its issues, it never touched my file integrity. Zed is giving me a massive headache and I’m terrified to open it again at this point.
Has anyone else encountered spontaneous folder deletions while using Zed or the Open Code extension? I need to know if this is a known bug before I attempt to rebuild again.
Hello,
I’m not sure whether this is a Zed or Claude issue but since a few days (I’d say 2/3) Claude keeps failing on using tools in the terminal, especially when it wants to edit my code.
As a result, it edits the files by prompting me to run tons of script it often struggle to write that are supposed to open and write to files…
He sometimes even mess up my files and without git to reset to a clean state I also don’t have the options to accept or reject the edits (as the edits were not done with the tool)
I’ve seen it mention an API error (no code) during the reflection.
Is it just me ?
I’m running in Windows 11.
Thank you.
Recently I have been facing 2 to 3 seconds delay in suggestions. Like i type something and suggestions doesn't immediately popup, it's delayed for like 2 seconds at minimum.

Hey I am a flutter developer and I saw about zed a fast editor and tried in different language was greate and Now it has dart support but not like vscode
So any Zed user using Zed as main IDE for flutter
I've been using Zed as my notes editor with an LSP called IWE that turns a directory of markdown files into a graph. F12 follows a link into the target document. Shift+F12 lists every backlink. Cmd+T searches across every document title. Cmd+. opens code actions — extract a section into its own note, inline a referenced note back into its parent, sort a list. No plugin shim: Zed's built-in LSP handles it, and the official IWE extension just downloads the iwes binary on first use.
The same graph is also what my AI agent reads from. I keep seeing agent memory solved with vector databases, embedding stores, and opaque "knowledge" services, and every time I've tried one I lose the thing I actually want: being able to open the file, read it, grep it, diff it, and edit it like any other source.
IWE is a Rust LSP server that loads a directory of markdown files into an in-memory knowledge graph. No separate database, no embeddings, no sync step. Same files for you and the agent.
IWE ships a CLI your agent calls directly:
iwe find "authentication"
iwe retrieve -k docs/auth-flow --depth 2
find is fuzzy search across the graph. retrieve returns a document and — with --depth — follows inclusion links and inlines child documents, so the agent gets transitive context in one call instead of a multi-turn crawl.
Here's what iwe retrieve -k platform --depth 2 produces when platform.md links to auth-flow.md which links to token-rotation.md:
---
document:
key: platform
title: Platform
---
# Platform
[Auth flow](auth-flow)
[Rate limiting](rate-limiting)
---
document:
key: auth-flow
title: Auth flow
parents:
- key: platform
title: Platform
---
# Auth flow
[Token rotation](token-rotation)
---
document:
key: token-rotation
title: Token rotation
parents:
- key: auth-flow
title: Auth flow
---
# Token rotation
Rotate refresh tokens every 24 hours. Access tokens expire after 15 minutes.
Just structured markdown with YAML frontmatter for identity and parent pointers. Nothing the model needs to be taught. If you use Claude Code, Cursor, or anything that can call shell commands, you can point it at these.
Folders force single placement. Tags give you no structure. IWE uses inclusion links — a markdown link on its own line defines a parent-child relationship:
# Platform
[Auth flow](auth-flow.md)
[Rate limiting](rate-limiting.md)
A document can have multiple parents. "Rate limiting" lives under both Platform and Billing without duplication. You see that structure through Zed's document and workspace symbols; the agent sees it through retrieve --depth. More on inclusion links.
| Action | Keybinding |
|---|---|
| Go to definition (follow link) | F12 or Cmd+Click |
| Find references (backlinks) | Shift+F12 |
| Code actions | Cmd+. |
| Document symbols (outline) | Cmd+Shift+O |
| Workspace symbols (search) | Cmd+T |
| Rename (updates links across the graph) | F2 |
| Format document | Cmd+Shift+I |
The code actions you'll find in the Cmd+. menu: Extract, Extract all subsections, Inline section, Inline quote, Link, Sort A-Z, Sort Z-A. Rename is a separate LSP operation — F2 on a heading updates every incoming link automatically.
Open Zed, hit Cmd+Shift+X, search for IWE, install. The extension downloads the iwes binary from GitHub releases on first activation. Open a markdown file in your notes directory and the LSP comes up — iwes uses defaults if there's no config, so there's nothing else to run.
If you want IWE to apply only to your notes directory (not every markdown file in every project), scope it with .zed/settings.json in that directory:
{
"lsp": {
"iwe": {
"binary": {
"path": "iwes"
}
}
}
}
Honest feedback on how this feels inside Zed specifically — how the code actions land in the command palette, whether the LSP surface matches what Zed users expect. Also interested in hearing from anyone wiring IWE up to Claude Code, Cursor, or similar: what worked, what you wish the CLI did differently.

I can understand the desire for an "AI-first" layout, but making that the default without any possible way to switch back to, what I guess I would call "project-first" layout feels insane to me.
Maybe I'm alone in this, but I work from left-to-right: I expect my project browsing and navigation on the right, my primary (editing) tool in the center, and auxiliary tools on the right (AI agent threads, etc.).
I'm hoping I just missed a "layout toggle" option some place, but I don't see it.
I also raised a feature request here on the Zed discussions: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/54180
I just started learning vim and watn to keep my workflow as keyboard-centric as possible. I'm currently using the basic vscode keybinds (I've never actually used vscode before, they just were selected by default upon installation) and just now, after the recent ui changes with stuff shifting around a bit started wondering what is the absolute best layout for Zed? If I'm not coming to this app with years of muscle memory from other ides what are the best binds for zed specifically?
I'm starting to really like how fast Zed is for composing text and displaying code completion hints. But, I can't seem to get the language server hints and quick fixes to work as well as vscodium. I don't know if this is just a limitation of Zed or something in the settings that I don't know about. Thanks!
This is what I see in Zed:
This is what I see in Vscodium.
