| title: My experience switching to Zed from NeoVim | ||
| date: 2024-04-16 | ||
| description: Experimenting with Zed, a new text editor | ||
| --- | ||
| I've been using Vim/NeoVim for the past decade, at least. I converted from Sublime Text after my workflow became more terminal-heavy. | ||
|
|
||
| In the years since, I've tried a great many editors - and always fell back to Vim. VSCode was cool, but the Vim emulation just wasn't quite right. I kept tripping up over myself, and the experience was very jarring. I also felt that the editor was a bit overcrowded - I'd like it to leave me alone to edit text, please! | ||
|
|
||
| I also tried emacs (well, evil), helix, and others. | ||
|
|
||
| But so far, Zed has been the closest to tempting me away. I tried it sometime last year, but it felt a little too unpolished - plus, at the time it was not [open source](https://zed.dev/blog/zed-is-now-open-source). | ||
|
|
||
| I started with [Atuin](https://atuin.sh), a Rust project. The tooling was all setup automatically, with no configuration needed on my part. Nice! | ||
|
|
||
| ## Settings | ||
|
|
||
| Zed is pretty nice out of the box, but there were a few things I wanted to change. | ||
|
|
||
| Here's my entire config: | ||
|
|
||
| ```json | ||
| { | ||
| "theme": "Gruvbox Dark Soft", | ||
| "vim_mode": true, | ||
| "buffer_font_size": 12, | ||
| "ui_font_size": 14, | ||
| "buffer_font_family": "FiraCode Nerd Font", | ||
| "relative_line_numbers": true, | ||
| "terminal": { | ||
| "line_height": "standard" | ||
| }, | ||
| "lsp": { | ||
| // Specify the LSP name as a key here. | ||
| "rust-analyzer": { | ||
| //These initialization options are merged into Zed's defaults | ||
| "initialization_options": { | ||
| "checkOnSave": { | ||
| "command": "clippy" | ||
| } | ||
| } | ||
| } | ||
| } | ||
| } | ||
|
|
||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Other than the obvious theme/font settings, I found the terminal line height a little weird out of the box. It seemed to be a bit higher than it should be, which made some TUIs look odd. Setting it to "standard" resolved this. | ||
|
|
||
| I also made some adjustments to the lsp config for Rust. | ||
| ## Key bindings | ||
|
|
||
| The next changes I made were to the Vim bindings. They're pretty standard out of the box, but I have a few core customisations that I really need in order to be productive. | ||
|
|
||
| - `jj` - I remap jj -> esc, to keep my fingers on the home row | ||
| - `<leader>w` - to save the current buffer | ||
| - `<leader>s t` - grep the entire workspace | ||
| - `<leader>f` - search for files | ||
|
|
||
| As far as I am aware, Zed does not have the concept of a leader. That's ok! I can hardcode the bindings. | ||
|
|
||
| Here's what I have: | ||
|
|
||
| ```json | ||
| [ | ||
| { | ||
| "context": "Editor && vim_mode == insert && !menu", | ||
| "bindings": { | ||
| "j j": "vim::NormalBefore" | ||
| } | ||
| }, | ||
| { | ||
| "context": "Editor && vim_mode == normal && !menu", | ||
| "bindings": { | ||
| "space w": "workspace::Save", | ||
| "space s t": "workspace::NewSearch", | ||
| "space f": "file_finder::Toggle" | ||
| } | ||
| } | ||
| ] | ||
|
|
||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| I thought it was pretty cool how the keymap allows me to specify a context as an expression. It's far easier to read than something like `inoremap`. | ||
|
|
||
| You can find other actions in the default keybindings (cmd-shift-p, search default keybindings) | ||
|
|
||
| ## Editing experience | ||
|
|
||
| I've found Zed to be very pleasing to use. Everything is buttery smooth, and you can really feel that they've put [lots of work into performance](https://zed.dev/blog/120fps). The UI is minimal, and it does remind me a bit of Sublime. | ||
|
|
||
| Their [UI framework](https://www.gpui.rs/) is written in Rust, and hopefully we will see more applications using it soon! | ||
|
|
||
| ## Will it stick? | ||
|
|
||
| Not yet. But it was close! I've used it for longer than any other editor I've tried, but I still feel strange using an editor with a terminal in it - rather than a terminal with an editor. That is absolutely a me problem though, and nothing to do with Zed. | ||
|
|
||
| Otherwise there's still a couple of gaps with the vim emulation. I use [marks](https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Using_marks) pretty heavily, and they aren't there yet - which is something I kept tripped over. From time to time, my jj binding didn't seem to trigger - perhaps I've pressed it too fast. I couldn't easily replicate this though, it just happened from time to time. | ||
|
|
||
| I think I'll keep checking in with Zed, and perhaps it will fully convert me soon. |
