Zed Editor Configuration

About

Streamline your Zed editor environment by managing global settings, visual themes, and advanced language server protocols (LSP) within a dotfiles architecture. This skill facilitates precise control over symlinked configuration files, allowing you to easily customize editor behavior, terminal shells, and complex language-specific overrides for environments like Rust, Python, and TypeScript. It also provides specialized support for configuring external AI agents like Claude Code and Gemini, ensuring your editor is perfectly tuned for high-productivity development workflows.
