Zed FOR MAC

Despite the fact that more and more advanced and fully featured code editors have arised, neither the basic principles on which code editors work on, and their layout haven’t really changed all that much in the past years.

Zed is a straightforward yet powerful text and code editor that can be used for local file, as well as remote file editing, and has only one mission in mind: to simplify as much as possible an already hard process which is coding.

Key Features:

• Syntax highlighting engine for common programming languages


• Code completions for symbols, snippets, and method or property completion


• Built-in linting engine with inline markers


• Multiple cursors for efficient editing


• Split-view editing for better focus


• User-interface themes for customization

Streamlined Design:

One first step towards reducing the cognitive load and simplifying the whole process is due to a lack of open files or tabs, the navigation between files can only be done using key commands such as “CMD-E” or “CTRL-E”.

Another intentionally simplified design feature that makes things easier are Zed’s limited split view configuration, minimal GUI, and a capability to preserve and restore your work between editor launches.

Despite its simplicity, capabilities like built-in linting engine with inline markers, multiple cursors, split-view editing, as well as user-interface themes have not been forgotten either.

Taking all things into consideration, Zed is a streamlined and no muss - no fuss code editor that takes a brave step in this world where more is almost always better, and keeps things as simple and as efficient as possible.
