Sunsetting Atom

Please make zed capable of running in a terminal. If I could have a modern editor that can run in the terminal and had a nice GUI, I would definitely pick it up. There's still many instances where I'm working on a remote dev machine, on my iPad, over a serial connection, inside of tmux, where a terminal based text editor is a necessity.

We have graphics, but I could see a mode where you `scp` a headless moon lander version of Zed up to a remote server to do remote development. VS Code has a feature like this but I hadn't used it much before switching to Zed full-time.

Please check it out — being able to edit / run / debug code on a linux server using a mac desktop over ssh, and having the whole experience be as seamless as edit / run / debug locally, is a huge win — it's pretty much _the_ reason that I’m currently using VSCode 90% of the time despite being a huge JetBrains fan (to the point of paying for their full enterprise pack out of my own pocket)

(JetBrains tools do kind-of support remote file editing, but it’s flaky and slow, and remote run / debug are a nightmare — compare to VSCode, where I sometimes mix up local and remote development because they’re identical except for the hostname in the titlebar when running remotely)

It also works on Windows through ssh (including desktop win10), which makes working with Windows easier on the nerves.

Is what VS Code does different from using an SFTP mount plugin like remote-edit on Atom?

Does a single text editor exist that supports both a TUI and GUI mode?

Textadept has both TUI and GUI, is Free Software, and runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows: https://orbitalquark.github.io/textadept/

The way it works is that its creator made a TUI implementation of the GUI library he used for the graphical version, so you have the same menus etc.

Emacs supports both a TUI and a GUI mode.
