Zed is a new, open-source text editor built in Rust by the team that originally built Atom.

Blazingly Fast!

The brilliant minds behind Zed also built GPUI, a rendering framework that leverages the GPU to render 2D UI’s like a video game. This gives Zed a snappy and responsive user interface.

Useful Built-ins

Zed is all about helping you “code at the speed of thought”. So it’s got a bunch of cool out-of-the-box tools like Vim, LSP, Tree-sitter, an integrated terminal, and GitHub Copilot. All these features being baked into Zed help you code as efficiently as you possibly can. It also features support for languages and frameworks like TypeScript and Astro!
