    Hmm, yeah before "DeltaDB" I have a big list of things I would rather they develop/fix:

    - Vertical activity bar (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;zed-industries&#x2F;zed&#x2F;pull&#x2F;58868#issuecomment-4871602351" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;zed-industries&#x2F;zed&#x2F;pull&#x2F;58868#issuecommen... - rejected because it &quot;doesn’t match our design vision for Zed&quot;)

    This is my #1 annoyance: clicking microscopic icons at the very bottom of the screen to switch views.

    - Don&#x27;t crash my entire PC when there&#x27;s a large (100+ MB) JSON file in the working directory

    - Don&#x27;t freeze when resuming from suspension (I suspect this is GPU-driver related on linux) forcing me to `killall zed-editor`

      Have you considered using a keybind? They even show which keybind to use when you hover them.

      Amazing that someone would prefer a vertical bar that is 85% empty, wasted space instead of pressing a few keys on the keyboard - for a text editor of all things.

        Having keyboard shortcuts isn’t a valid reason for UI buttons to be unusable. If it should solely be accessed by a shortcut, then they should just remove the buttons altogether.

          Except they aren’t unusable either.
