I love Zed and I'm glad you now have native support for Claude. I previously ran it using the instructions in this post: https://benswift.me/blog/2025/07/23/running-claude-code-with...

One thing that still suffers is AI autocomplete. While I tried Zed's own solution and supermaven (now part of Cursor), I still find Cursor's AI autocomplete and predictions much more accurate (even pulling up a file via search is more accurate in Cursor).

I am glad to hear that Zed got a round of funding. https://zed.dev/blog/sequoia-backs-zed This will go a long way to creating real competition to Cursor in the form of a quality IDE not built on VSCode

I now plain hate Cursor's auto complete, it's too aggressive I cannot write any code anymore, it seems to have hijacked CMD too, not just tab.

This is why I’m not a fan of auto complete in my editor. Much rather pair program with an agent.

Give the agent as much context as possible and let it go, review and correct the implementation, let it go again, finish it off…

The I just find the autocomplete a little annoying in my workflow, especially with the local self-hosted models I need to use at work.

I like autocomplete when it used to be a bit slower and only act on tab.

Right now it's borderline impossible to write code, the autocompletion results are loaded ultra fast and Cursor maps different buttons to autocompleting functionality.

It's no longer usable for me.

I'm fine getting autocompletes, but I decide when to trigger it, ideally after reading it, like this I can't even type.
