Zed is a fully offline-capable, open source, keyboard-focused, Chrome-based text and code editor you can use to edit local files as well as remote files on any server. It’s built using web technologies (100% HTML, CSS and JavaScript) yet has all features you’d expect from a capable code editor:
– Syntax highlighting for many programming languages (e.g. C, Clojure, CoffeeScript, C#, – CSS, Dart, Erlang, Go, Haml, Haskell, HTML, ini files, Java, JavaScript, JSON, LogiQL, Lua, Markdown, Nix, PHP, Plist, Protobufs, Python, Ruby, Shell, XML)
– Code completion: symbols and (customizable) snippets
– Built-in linting for some languages with inline markers (JavaScript, CoffeeScript, JSON, Lua, CSS)
– Multiple cursors
– Split-view editing
– Themes: light and dark themes out of the box and you can easily develop your own using CSS.
I like the idea behind this, and I’m totally blown away by the fact that Zef (the author) had the courage to step away from his daily workflow, and dedicate himself to this project full-time; I think that is some piece of information you should have included in the post. 🙂
