| An example is that when I have a module like
| Namespace::SuperAbcModule in a file at
| namespace/super_abc_module.rb and I rename the file to
| namespace/super_module.rb, Cursor will immediately suggest to
| change the module name to `Namespace::SuperModule`, Zed won't.
|
| Also Cursor will suggest updates to lines throughout a file
| whereas Zed sometimes doesn't even look ahead 1-2 lines.
|
| Having Claude Code and Codex built into the sidebar is hardly
| better than having them running in a terminal. I wish they'd
| invested all this time and effort improving the inline
| suggestions.

| does.

| Agreed. Zed is my daily driver and I love it, but the

| This is what holds me back from Zed.

| Right click on the file in the project tree -> rename will
| rename references. Or in the code right click -> rename symbol.
| Not sure why you need to bring AI into it.

| Yup true, replying to increase visibility in case Zed team is

| Is it just a GUI service for codex?

| I like how it integrated it
| JamesSwift wrote:
| Zed has a generic interface to agents (ACP). This is a bridge

| Product video is more saying about the FPS.

| I watched the video in the linked post and I don't think it

| Cool. If Zed supported git worktree diff highlighting, I'd be

| LVB wrote:
| What do you mean exactly? Diffs between multiple worktrees?
| I've found the current diff view fairly useful.

| For me it's the missing Jupyter support that's preventing me

| I love that this was completely overshadowed by "Zed works in

| This team ships so much that if they sold an LTS product, it
| means they'd support the release for 24 hours.
