Engineered for Performance

Zed efficiently leverages every CPU core and your GPU to start instantly, load files in a blink, and respond to your keystrokes on the next display refresh. Unrelenting performance keeps you in flow and makes other tools feel slow.

​

Language Aware

Zed maintains a full syntax tree for every buffer as you type, enabling precise code highlighting, auto-indent, a searchable outline view, and structural selection. Zed also speaks the Language Server Protocol to provide autocompletion, code navigation, diagnostics, and refactorings.

Introducing multi-buffers

Multi-buffers combine excerpts from multiple files into a single virtual buffer. Whether you're burning down compile errors, finding references to a method, or working with project-wide search results, you can edit across files with multiple cursors – all without switching tabs.
