This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to configure the Zed editor, from enabling autosave, setting up Prettier, and adjusting terminal font size, to managing format on save, disabling or enabling Prettier, and customizing tab and indent sizes. Learn how to configure ESLint, inlay hints, and advanced options like disabling ligatures, showing whitespace, and creating custom commands.

Introduction

Zed is a high-performance, collaborative code editor created by the same minds behind Atom and Tree-sitter. It is also open-source. Its key strengths are:

Stay in Flow Productive coding starts with a tool that stays out of your way. Zed combines the power of an IDE with the responsiveness of a lightweight editor for productivity you can feel under your fingertips.
Engineered for performance Zed efficiently leverages every CPU core and your GPU to start instantly, load files in a blink, and respond to your keystrokes on the next display refresh. Unrelenting performance keeps you in flow and makes other tools feel slow.
Intelligence on tap Save time and keystrokes by generating code with AI. Zed supports GitHub Copilot out of the box, and you can use GPT-4 to generate or refactor code by pressing ctrl-enter and typing a natural language prompt. Interact with the model conversationally without switching context in the built-in assistant panel, then reference your conversation during inline generation.
Language-aware Zed maintains a full syntax tree for every buffer as you type, enabling precise code highlighting, auto-indent, a searchable outline view, and structural selection. Zed also speaks the Language Server Protocol to provide autocompletion, code navigation, diagnostics, and refactorings.
