> seriously, where is the setting to have a different ui size vs ui font size Search for font size in preferences. You'll see a 'font size' under 'buffer' (editor), under 'UI Font', and under 'Agent Panel' to let you control font sizes in all of those places independently. > Is there any editor still being being developed and focusing on the experience of coding by hand? Zed lets you hand-edit too! It's fast and decent. vim, neovim, Emacs, Helix, and JetBrains products continue to do that well too. There are still more traditional IDEs/editors than pure AI ones. You can also toggle AI features off in Zed from preferences if you want to.

ah I forgot a word, I meant the ui icon size. If I bump up the ui font size so that I can distinguish the icons apart on my large monitor, the ui text becomes comically large. I do use Zed without AI features, it's just a bit of a disappointment (though understandable) since it was originally marketed as just a nice speedy editor.

  Have you tried a different icon theme? Some are just easier to see than others. The default icon theme is pretty light. https://zed.dev/docs/icon-themes https://zed.dev/docs/icon-themes I don't think changing icon size independent of UI font size would be a dealbreaker for many. (I'm quite happy having icons that scale in line with font size, but then I use the Material Icon Theme, which is easy to scan at most sizes.)

  It's still a nice speedy editor. It didn't lose any features to make room for AI Is Zed lacking any feature you need?

    A proper git implementation. I end up doing things in the terminal tab because its faster than the ui or is more clear. The basics are good but thats about it.

      What git features are you missing? We've been adding a ton recently

        If you're taking suggestions I'd like to be able to see when I'm over the 72 character limit, last time I checked there was no way to know inside Zed when writing the commit message though I might be wrong. Other than that I think Zed's great and multi-buffer editing is really swell.

        I use zed every day, but the git view is still buggy and unreliable for me. It often chooses the wrong folder---a subfolder rather than the root of my git project---and shows that there are no changes. And sometimes, even when the right folder is selected, it will still incorrectly say there are no changes. Another bug is that clicking on new files in the git UI doesn't bring up their diff---you need to click them twice to open the file. I'd like to have those files included in the diff view just like other files are. I'd love for there to be an easier way to get to the "view file history" view---I didn't realize that it existed until I tried searching for it. I'd love a "line history" view like GitLens has, as well.

        Just injecting this here: What I've been missing is an equivalent for GitHub's "blame prior revision" feature to quickly follow through the history of individual source lines. https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/42583 https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/42583 Thanks for building an awesome product :)
