Could you link this bug report please? I would love to take a look at it to see if i could fix it

gpui does have a11y support for accessibility, Zed just hasn't piped it through yet. I'm also pretty sure Discord is using their own fork of gpui with patches to add any missing functionality they needed

We support create git worktree hooks too

What git features are you missing? We've been adding a ton recently

Accessibility is apart of gpui roadmap.

Thank you for the positive energy and I'm glad you liked the under the hood section!

The core team built Linux support and we're starting to work on Windows as well

We have multiple teams at Zed each with their own focus. In fact, you can see all the projects we're working on if you view our channel notes.

We're going to be adding more features to the debugger for a while

Re:The Zed Debugger Is Here on Thursday June 19, 2025 @01:33PM (#44320782)
By default Zed has a user choose what type of configuration they want. That could be something like LM Studio, Ollama, or your own API keys to a provider you're already paying for.

AI also isn't shoved in your face when using Zed, there's one small button on the button right.

Here's the PR for variable/expression watching: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/32743

I don't think there's an issue for data breakpoints, but you can make one for us

Re:The Zed Debugger Is Here on Thursday June 19, 2025 @01:18PM (#44320654)
Hey Laserbeam, I'm one of the devs that made the debugger and the one that wrote the article.

We do have a basic stack trace view that basically all debuggers support. What's coming out in the near future is a stack trace view in our multi buffer system. In fact, you can use the "show stack trace" action while in an active debug session to expand the call stack in a multi buffer, where each excerpt is a frame. It's just not up to the quality that I and several others expect from Zed, so I didn't advertise it.

There's also a PR for a watching variables/expression that is going to be merged in a couple of days. The functionality is done, but we didn't want to add a feature so close to launch that wasn't fully tested.

Support for data breakpoints will come in the near future. I can't say when because we're planning on focusing on automatic configuration for a while, but it is a priority.

We do support simultaneously debugging multiple sessions at the same time and multithreaded debugging too. There's still more to do with it, but the support is definitely there!
