Thanks, that's good to know, I'll see how well I can adapt my workflow to this. (The reason for using Konsole tabs so far is the easy switching via Alt+[number], but I suppose using Helix's integrated multi-document system should offer other advantages (e.g. regarding registers) that could outweigh this by far.)

One of Zed's focuses is AI integration. Other than that, I suppose if you prefer having a dedicated application with its own UI instead of a terminal based ones.
I know this is presumably because of you using konsole's tabs as a part of your existing workflow, so it fits in there, but have you considered using helix' multi buffer system? It is described here : https://helix-editor.vercel.app/usage/buffers
To get tabs to show up, you have to enable the so-called bufferline:
:set bufferline always
It shows the name of the file and is well integrated.
Yep, when I saw that video a few months ago, I lost any interest in the editor.
Why would I use this over Helix? (this is not a rethorical question, I really am interested in the benefits)
I haven't checked in on Zed in a while (since they first went into AI) and was always hoping they implemented helix support.
I'm glad they have but what the hell is wrong with their homepage?
Looking at that their main video at the top it's obvious they've really fallen into the vibecoding scam pit. Are they only getting funding from AI investors?
What the hell happened?
