Zed launches an official Linux version of its open-source code editor & introduces v0.143

Zed Editor, the modern open-source code editor built in Rust with a GPU-accelerated renderer, has officially launched a stable build of Zed on Linux, making use of the Vulkan API for GPU acceleration. To install Zed on most Linux distributions, users can run the provided shell script: curl https://zed.dev/install.sh | sh

The company has also announced the launch of its new version 0.143, which introduces improved keyboard shortcuts, including new Linux-specific compatibility modes for Visual Studio Code, JetBrains, Atom, and Sublime Text, along with new default fonts, Zed Plex Sans and Zed Plex Mono, based on the IBM Plex family. Performance enhancements include better handling of massive undo histories and significantly faster replace all operations, up to 20 times faster in some cases.

Vim mode improvements feature new support for macros (q and @) to record and replay, new Vim bindings for the outline panel, and several fixes including undo after repeated insert/replace mode, r repeating too much, : in empty diagnostics view, and g/ outside of an editor.
