    Why develop this when the core editor is almost unusable? On Linux wayland, copypaste is broken, the file manager is laggy and snippets do not trigger before the heavy hint logic is done. This is just on top of my head, the list is long

      Just installed it, works on my kde and niri setups (I logged out and switched to each), copy paste works as well. File manager laggi-ness I didn't notice I don't use it, I use it mostly to type stuff out.

      I have never used snippets so unsure about that too, going from command bar seemed to work.

      I think it might be bad, but could also be it's not correctly configured maybe try asking codex/claude or something to check if it can fix/fine tune the config, if that doesn't work file issues?

      I do suspect it might be working for me cause I got lucky I do see an open issue[1], but given Zed is used a bunch the lack of comments does suggest maybe it's not that wide spread either way not a good look.

      Maybe I got lucky?? Does it not auto update on linux maybe I am on an old build... Very suspicious.

        The copy-paste bug manifests itself after some time and the bug is silent.

          I regularly leave it open for days and never run into any copy&#x2F;paste bugs in Wayland&#x2F;Flatpak.
