Note: if you use SSH-based remote development, this doesn't work.

That's unfortunate. I use Zed and I'm moving towards containerising my dev environment (using SSH remote dev to connect Zed to the container) because all this agentic stuff seems like a security nightmare. At the very least I want to restrict the blast radius to my repos dir.

		I would give them a week or less to support this. They've been improving the debugger so fast, it will take them no time to support remote claude code connections.

Remote dev isn't very good in Zed, unfortunately. For some reason they chose not to apply the local editor's settings to a remote session by default. Every remote has its own config file. Questionable choice, imo

Any reason for this? Is it something temporary or it will never be supported?

IIRC it doesn’t work in Cursor either, and their own AI sidebar was getting weird issues too. Mostly switched back to VSCode for SSH workflows because of that.

zed crashes completely now for me when using a remote env over ssh since a couple releases ago.
