Zed is a minimalist code editor built with web technologies (Chrome app or standalone via node-webkit), emphasizing multiple cursors, fast project/symbol navigation, and split views while omitting tabs and menus. It supports editing both local and remote files.
Use cases
- edit code with multiple cursors in a distraction-free editor
- jump quickly to files and symbols in a project
- edit remote files over ssh from a lightweight editor
- preview markdown while writing
- run a code editor as a Chrome app
When to choose
- you want a bare-bones, keyboard-driven editor without tabs or menus
- you need to edit local and remote files in one lightweight tool
- you prefer a Chrome-based editor environment
When to avoid
- you need a maintained editor with active development and modern language tooling (LSP)
- you rely on plugins, tabs, or a full IDE feature set
- you need current OS support, as the project has not been updated since 2020
