Nathan Sobo recently open-sourced Zed, a code editor that focuses on performance, integrates AI capabilities, and supports software teams’ collaboration out of the box. For performance, Zed leverages a Rust code base, multicore- and GPU-optimized code, with a custom Rust GUI framework. For collaboration, Zed relies on CRDTs and team channels. Zed is currently Mac only.
No, literally have one tab with multiple windows inside it (the default for vim).
I’m assuming for your example that only one tab is shown at a time?
In that case, you can do that in vscode, the only difference is the semantics of what is considered a “window”, and what is considered a “tab”.
To do this in vscode:
Have one window with four panes, and another window with three panes:
Window 1 ┌──────────┬──────────┐ │ │ │ │ Pane 1 │ Pane 2 │ │ │ │ ├──────────┼──────────┤ │ │ │ │ Pane 3 │ Pane 4 │ │ │ │ └──────────┴──────────┘ Window 2 ┌──────────┬──────────┐ │ │ │ │ Pane 1 │ Pane 2 │ │ │ │ ├──────────┴──────────┤ │ │ │ Pane 3 │ │ │ └─────────────────────┘You can then switch between your windows (or “tabs” in your example) by keyboard shortcut.
In vscode, you can make the Panes different files, or even different views of the same file.
You mean a whole different window at the OS level? That’s just a way inferior hack to the way vim does it by default.
I’ve found an issue from 2017 about it and this related one that focuses more specifically on supporting vim-like behavior. This is just, fundamentally, something that VSCode doesn’t implement simply because of technical limitations. The extensions that attempt to recreate this behavior are apparently all quite janky.
I mean I don’t care, I’m very happy with vim now. But the terribly naive tab support is the reason I left vscode for vim initially. People who have only known “vscode-like” tabs don’t know what they are missing out on.
Yes, that way I could switch between windows in a single shortcut, or even place them side by side so I can see both at the same time with other shortcuts.
Can you explain this more?
Why wouldn’t you want window management to be managed by the window manager?
