When you first open the outline view, Zed always highlights the entry closest to your current location within the file. It can be a good way to understand the layout of a file, which can be helpful when browsing code or when deciding where to insert a new definition. When you press cmd-shift-O with an editor focused, Zed presents a summary of the file based on the syntax tree. The most powerful way to navigate within a buffer is Zed's outline view. Zed's outline view open on top of a editor. Click the 'Share Screen' button in the upper right to share your screen. Zed's built-in screen-sharing allows you to share your screen without additional tools easily. Sometimes you must go beyond code when collaborating, like looking at a website or a drawing. You may switch projects via the collaboration menu which shows current participants and any projects they may be sharing. This pane-specific behavior allows you to follow someone in one pane while navigating independently in another, and can be an effective layout for some styles of collaboration. When a pane is following a collaborator, it is outlined in their cursor color. To start following again, you can click on a collaborator's avatar or cycle through following different participants by pressing ctrl-alt-cmd-f.įollowing is confined to a particular pane. You automatically stop following whenever you move the cursor or edit.

This is represented by a border around the editor. When you join a project, you'll immediately start following the host as they move within and between files. Guests can open, edit, and save files, perform searches, interact with the language server, etc.

Our goal is to eliminate the distinction between local and remote projects as much as possible.
