## What it is
A guide and install script for configuring the Zed Editor with Vim mode, custom keybindings, Nerd Fonts, and AI-assisted tooling. It backs up and deploys settings.json, keymap.json, and tasks.json with a single shell command.

## Use cases
- set up zed editor with vim mode
- configure custom keybindings in zed
- one-command zed settings install
- install nerd fonts for zed editor
- learn zed editor setup best practices
- backup and restore zed editor configuration

## When to choose
- you use or are adopting the Zed Editor and want a proven, opinionated configuration
- you want Vim-style editing in Zed with sensible keybindings
- you want a scripted, reversible setup of editor settings

## When to avoid
- you use a different editor like VS Code or Neovim
- you prefer building your own Zed configuration from scratch
- you need an editor plugin or library rather than a setup guide
