Configuration

The following command will create symlinks to the configuration files in the home directory.

• Install GNU stow
• stow --adopt -t ~ home

It may overwrite dotfiles because of the --adopt flag, review and adjust changes as necessary.

Also, it will only create symlinks for config under user home directory, so we need to create symlinks for other config files manually, e.g. keyd to /etc/keyd.

Migrating to Zed

Common shortcuts (macOS)

• Cmd-Shift-P — command palette
• Cmd-P — find file
• Cmd-Shift-F — search in project
• Cmd-Shift-O — find symbol in file; Cmd-T — find symbol in project
• Cmd-Shift-E — project panel; Cmd-Shift-B — outline panel
• Ctrl + backtick — toggle terminal
• Cmd-Shift-M — diagnostics
• Cmd-, — settings

Custom keymap

See home/.config/zed/keymap.json. Current custom bindings:

• In normal Vim mode, ; opens the command palette and : repeats the last find.
• In normal or visual Vim mode, j/k move by screen lines, s jumps to a word, g a switches to the alternate file, g h/g l move to line start/end, and m m jumps to the matching bracket.
• In normal mode, g p selects the last pasted text. In visual mode, g l extends to line end and a m selects through the matching bracket.
• Ctrl-Tab / Ctrl-Shift-Tab switch between open items in the editor and terminal.
• In the terminal, Cmd-[ / Cmd-] move to the left/right pane.
• Ctrl-Cmd-R opens recent projects.
• In the editor, Ctrl-M inserts a newline.

Missing feature in Zed:

• Compare changes against a base branch (e.g. for review)
• Search Git history by changed content (pickaxe, git log -S)
• Three way diff for merge conflicts

Workaround:

• Search commit messages with the Git Graph: Open action, then use its search box.
