As far as I'm concerned this is a dead project. There doesn't seem to be tutorials available anywhere. and the linked website is suspended. Steer clear of this & find ""text, "caret", or "super neutron drive".
I have an HP Chromebook 14 (Falco) and when I try to open this app it hard resets the machine. Never experienced this with anything else on a chromebook before.
I'm afraid it just doesn't work as advertised - it will not open Dropbox folders at all. It simply hangs on the 'Authenticating' stage, despite Dropbox recognising it as a connected app. I haven't even had a chance to check it out as a text editor!
Not supported any more.
Can't open files on Google Drive!
I REALLY don't like the seperate window. I wanted an editor as a separate tab WITHIN Chrome.
this thing sucks never get it
Eh, it is just "okay" and that is being generous. Sure they have remote editing but you have to jump through too many hoops just to get to the actual IDE. For the foreseeable future I will be sticking with Caret on ChromeOS. It might not be perfect, but at least I can open a file and start coding immediately (even off of Google Drive). Seeing how Caret is also using Ace Editor, I don't really see a extra need for this unpolished application. If you do need remote editing, stick to the new ChromeOS FTP tool that was released and save yourself a headache.
WTF!? Not intuitive at all! I've never used a text editor that I couldn't use 'out of the box' until Zed Code Editor. I consider myself a computer geek, however, this program is for masochists. Lack of a menu is not a feature in my opinion. I'm not investing hours of my life to learn what I can do in seconds with other text editors out of the box.
wish you could choose the keys for ur shortcuts becouse my period key doesnt work so i cant run anything
edit a file, then close it. But app didn't remind me when i closed a file.
Remote editing does not work, which makes it unusable for me
Twice now, it's wiped some files and left them full of weird ½ï¿½ï¿½ï symbols. All the lost hours of work. $#!%
Menu and File-tree font is too small to be usable on an 11" Chromebook. Very poor performance for an ACE implementation. I work off-line from a USB-thumb-drive, and compared to Caret and Caret-T, Zed for some reason shows constant file thrashing on my thumb drive, even when I'm not typing?
MAny commands, like Find, do not work like modern editors, but more like VI. Not what I was looking for.
Probably could be a good App. I will never know. I could not open my '.rb', '.js', 'html', '.css', '.py', '.txt' files. The search utility did not recognize them. Am using an HPmini laptop runing Ubunto w/Chrome. Manual was poor. No time to study this App.
I really want to use it as it looks pretty cool, but there's no proper touchscreen support. I can't drag my code around.
Editor is real nice. However, for javascript, I would love to have a preview Console instead of Preview pane.. That's what I'm really looking for: an all in one JS editor with integrated console for viewing and testing JS files.
Awsome Autocomplete for JS. Have never seen something like this before.. Is it possible to make this autocompletion work on other editors as well? Like Atom? Back to Zed: Its a bit slow and I do not like the missing of tabs, at least on bigger projects with many, many files. The Documentation could be better, especially how to write snippets. And the app was not that stable, I had to restart it a few times. I guess I will give it a try again, if I have a small project. But at the moment it is not usefull for me. But please think about the autocompletion for other editors, thats so great.
Looks really promising, fix the bugs and quirks and its most definitely a 4 star application!
Cool! but I really prefer sublime.
- cannot change font family - cannot show leading white spaces - no bracket match
