Things I'd love to see in Zed

[maxim]

I'm a Ruby/Elixir/Go/JS dev who uses Sublime Text, and envies VSCode's Copilot integration, but can't stand the rest of its shifting, fiddly, overloaded UI.

I just tried Zed this weekend for the first time, and it seems amazing. Love out-of-the-box vim mode, Copilot and GPT integration, how it's not slower than Sublime. And unlike VSCode (which I spent months tweaking, trying to switch to it, but still can't), Zed feels immediately comfortable for a Sublime Text user.

Of course, many things are still missing, which is understandable, but I just wanted to list the ones I care about here. I realized I need surprisingly not much. Here they are in order of importance to me:

• Vertical pane split in Terminal
• *.todo syntax like PlainTasks or Todo+ with kb shortcuts to create/mark-done/cancel items
• Run tests with keyboard shortcuts like RubyTest
• Have ability to duplicate and move file in the Project sidebar by editing file path like SideBarEnhancements
• Show file's reading time in status bar, like WordingStatus or WordCounter
• Put Terminal to the left of Project dir tree (I really really prefer this placement, but neither VSCode nor Zed will let me do this. For Sublime I use iTerm2 via MacOS split screen.)
• Set the equivalent of Sublime's gray_antialias on a font
• Ability to wrap a block of text to 80char width with a kb shortcut like Wrap Plus (albeit AI can do this)

Disclaimer: I don't need everything to be the same, it's a different editor and I'm happy to learn new tricks. Just hope these problems are solved somehow.

Edit: If any of these are already possible, would be thankful for a tip.

Vertical pane split in Terminal is a really needed feature on my side!

Ability to wrap a block of text to 80char has been implemented! 🎉
