Editing Code
Zed provides tools to help you write and modify code efficiently. This section covers the core editing features that work alongside your language server.
What's in This Section
- Code Completions — Autocomplete from language servers and AI-powered edit predictions
- Snippets — Insert reusable code templates with tab stops
- Formatting & Linting — Configure automatic code formatting and linter integration
- Diagnostics & Quick Fixes — View errors, warnings, and apply fixes from your language server
- Multibuffers — Edit multiple files simultaneously with multiple cursors
How These Features Work Together
When you're editing code, Zed combines input from multiple sources:
- Language servers provide completions, diagnostics, and quick fixes based on your project's types and structure
- Edit predictions suggest multi-character or multi-line changes as you type
- Multibuffers let you apply changes across files in one operation
For example, you might:
- Rename a function using your language server's rename refactor
- See the results in a multibuffer showing all affected files
- Use multiple cursors to make additional edits across all locations
- Get immediate diagnostic feedback if something breaks
