README
Zed
======
Welcome to [Zed](http://zedapp.org), a code editor built using web technologies, designed to rethink some of the assumptions that underly most editors today. Some of the editor's core features are the features it does **not** have:
* Tabs
* Always visible file tree
* Menus and buttons and bells and whistles
What you get instead is a bare bones, simple yet powerful editor that focuses on what matters most: making you as productive at editing code and text as possible. To enable this, Zed has:
* Multiple cursors. Once mastered, you will never edit code the same way again.
* Code completion based on symbols defined in your project, current file and
snippets.
* Efficient project navigation at various levels of granularity:
* Files, quickly jump to the file you want
* Symbols, Zed indexes all symbols defined in your project and lets you
quickly jump to the one you're interested in
* (Vertical) split views, either 1, 2 or 3 vertical splits.
* Auto-updating preview split for various languages (including markdown and
coffeescript).
* Editing of local files (via Chrome-specific APIs) and remote files (check the manual on how to do this)
Installation (Chrome App)
--------------------------
You can install Zed [via the Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zed/pfmjnmeipppmcebplngmhfkleiinphhp), or by cloning the github repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/zedapp/zed.git
$ cd zed
$ git submodule update --init
Then, in (a recent version of) Chrome, go to the "three-lined" menu > Tools >
Extensions and click the "Load unpacked extension..." button, navigate to the
`app` directory inside the Zed repository checkout. Zed should now run!
Installation (Standalone)
-------------------------
To build locally:
$ git clone https://github.com/zedapp/zed.git
$ cd zed
$ git submodule update --init
After this you can either build the version for your platform of choice:
$ make apps-mac
$ make apps-win
$ make apps-linux32
or
$ make apps-linux64
The builds end up in `nw/build` and the gzipped versions in `release`.
Inspiration
-----------
Inspiration for Zed comes from:
* [Notational Velocity](http://notational.net): the goto bar combining search
with new file creation
* Apple's iOS and recent Mac file management: abstraction from whether a file
is open and by removing the idea that a file has to be explicitly saved.
Technology
----------
* The excellent [ACE](http://github.com/ajaxorg/ace) editor
* [Architect](https://github.com/c9/architect)
* [jQuery](http://jquery.com)
* [Underscore.js](http://underscorejs.org)
* [Require.js](http://requirejs.org)
