Zed is a modern open-source code editor, built from the ground up in Rust with a GPU-accelerated renderer.

minus-squarebooly@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up5·5 months agoShouldn’t the DE/Window Manager be handling that? Seems like doing it on a window by window basis would be inefficient (and look inconsistent).
minus-squareAProfessional@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·5 months agoThat’s a totally unrelated part of the stack. These days you just have a compositor that combines the output of applications. The model of out of process rendering in Xorg was done pre-2000s but GPUs became the norm and don’t work well this way.
minus-squareleopold@lemmy.kde.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·5 months agoThe job of the window manager is to manage windows and very little else. Font rendering is done by the widget toolkit, usually via freetype/harfbuzz.
minus-squarenaught@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up16·5 months agoI mean, it should be clear. Smooth and fast and snappy. If you don’t want that, use neovim like me :)
minus-squarema1w4re@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·5 months agoBut… Neovim is smooth, fast and snappy 😭
minus-squareMialinkfedilinkarrow-up3·5 months agoTerminals applications are, by definition, not smooth. You can’t have smooth scrolling, or anything else really, with a text grid.
minus-squarema1w4re@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoIdk I’m so used to working in terminal I don’t really notice that. For my eyes, it’s smooth enough
minus-squarenaught@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·5 months agoHold down j and lmk how smooth it is 😅
minus-squareelectricprism@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5·5 months agoSmooth scrolling? Maybe I’m wrong
