Builtin vim motion >>> vim motion extension/plugin (ie vscode, jupyter lab,...)

There is 0 difference ​@@no_name4796

Yep. And VS Code is an Electron app - there's only so fast the engineers will be able to make it.

Thanks a lot Karan! More content to come soon 😊

Fr, and that glowing white man in the corner too

@@haleycooper785it’s atrocious man . Seriously

Oh no white background is fine. That's just popular misconception and wrong lighting in your room/environment it has nothing to do with white color per-se. 🦸

Install dark reader. At least avoids bleeding your eyes from the light of all the white in websites

Learn to look at white web pages. It's better for your eyes

Or also the fact that if you need anything, you are already in a terminal, no need to open anything. Just ctrl+z, do whatever you need to do and fg

Agreed, (neo)vim are great. Also check out Helix (github.com/helix-editor/helix) if you haven't. A Zed TUI is being discussed here: github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/7493

@@brian.cooper the problem with helix is that you get basically no advantages over vim, it's basically the same concept but works in a different way. But vim is the standard, you will find vim motions EVERYWHERE. Helix motions are used only in helix and kakoon. Since at the end of the day you gain nothing compared to vim, it makes no sense to switch from vim to helix still helix is better then vscode. At the very least you can still work in a terminal without using your entire ram just to open a config file lol

I am using Wayland, however I get that error too currently. The issue is that there is a build hash validation issue for 0.140.2-1 in the AUR. What you could do is install an older version (e.g. 0.140.0-1 in the video), skip the integrity check (depends on your package manager, I use paru but for yay look into `--skipinteg`), or make the package with `makepkg` and update the hash in the `PKGBUILD` (look into `updpkgsums`) so it works correctly. Hopefully that gives you some useful leads, let me know if you still need help!

@@brian.cooper mate thanks for the input. unfortunatelly build failed. I tried using yay -S --noconfirm --mflags --skipinteg zed-preview will try using makepkg method after lunch. I might need to wait for the bin version or a flatpak repo. Shame, because I really love Zed on MacOS

@@leonardobetti8811 Let me know if you get stuck with making the package. There is some flatpak progress you might want to check out, though it is secondary to the team as they work on the native Linux install process: github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/12006#issuecomment-2134191883

@@leonardobetti8811 have you got it working?

I would check the logs, for me they are at `~/.local/share/zed/logs/Zed.log`. See if you find any clear issue there. Feel free to attach it here and I can help debug!

Hey man, I appreciate it. I am happy to help you with this, and I will absolutely make a video in the near future, just want to make sure my configs are more stable before doing that, they're kind of a mess right now. All of my system configs, including window manager and so on are in my dotfiles repo: github.com/coopbri/dots Check the "Software" section in the README to see an outline of the key pieces you're looking for I will let you know once I roll out a video about this, should be within the next month or so. If you have questions feel free to reach out!

Talk about timing. Snippets are now supported as of v0.141.0: github.com/zed-industries/zed/releases/tag/v0.141.0-pre

Let me know your experience! I tried it with nix-env on Arch and it worked great so should be good on NixOS

@@brian.cooper tomorrow I'll test it on my work PC, which I use with WSL. If I have time I'll also test on my personal machine with NixOS

@@brian.cooper I'll try it out on my work pc tomorrow,but it uses WSL. If I have time I'll also try on my NixOS personal machine

Since this video came out, aur.archlinux.org/packages/zed-preview-bin was added to the AUR which is a prebuilt binary of Zed Preview. Give that a try! Should work much better for you since you don't have to build it (I switched to this package myself)

@@brian.cooper okay, ah thanks , new features are working now

@@brian.cooper not work

Haven't seen lapce before you mentioned it, looks cool! Do you have any thoughts? I'll give it a shot

It has some work still before it is considered officially ready, however I've been running it well for several weeks on Linux!
