Zed editor: Linux when?

Aatube · edit-2 1Y

vscodium doesn’t run at 120 FPS and isn’t native (as in Electron), which are Zed’s goals

Edit: it doesn’t seem like native widgets are a development focus of Zed, though

Gotta type first. Everyone knows thats the bottleneck for productivity.

Especially when you have a bunch of extensions and a large-enough file, you want it to parse, highlight, and suggest fast.

So it doesn’t run at a wastefully high FPS for a text editor? Is that supposed to be a selling point for Zed that it renders many, many more frames than a text editor needs?

Letters appearing when you type them improves user experience dramatically

Yeah I find it impossible to program at 60fps.

@taladar@sh.itjust.works · 1Y

Agreed, anything below 5 FPS is probably a bit slow for a text editor.

The selling point is performance and speed… frames don’t get rendered above your refresh rate.
