majiayu000 Configuring Zed
Configuration Paths
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
~/.config/zed/settings.json |
Global settings |
~/.config/zed/keymap.json |
Custom keybindings |
.zed/settings.json |
Project-local settings |
Rules
- Modify global config (
~/.config/zed/) unless project-specific override is requested - Zed uses JSONC (JSON with comments) for config files
- Settings are merged: project settings override global settings
