A lightweight, workspace-free fork of Zed Industries' Zed. This version is designed to eliminate project clutter by enforcing a single global session, supporting standalone tabs, and providing instant hot-exit capabilities.
Unlike standard Zed, which revolves around project workspaces and folders, this build treats files as independent, lightweight entities.
- Workspace-Free Architecture: No project sidebars, folder indexing, or multi-file project clutter.
- Single Global Session: Open files instantly from anywhere in your system into one unified instance.
- Standalone Tabs: Every file behaves as an independent, floating tab context.
- Instant Hot-Exit: Close the application instantly without prompts. Your un-saved changes are cached globally and restored immediately upon relaunch.
This fork features a modified workspace optimized for a leaner codebase footprint:
- No REPL / Notebook Support: The
replcrate has been completely removed. - No Debugger / DAP Support: The debugger UI (
debugger_ui), debugger tools (debugger_tools), DAP client/adapters (dap,dap_adapters), and related settings/menu options have been removed.
