macOS Keyboard Shortcut Localization
Blog post from Zed
Zed 0.162 introduces updates to keyboard shortcuts to accommodate various keyboard layouts, addressing accessibility issues for users with non-Latin, IME-based, or non-US Latin keyboards. The changes include avoiding shortcuts bound to option-X, ensuring compatibility with macOS by mimicking its default behaviors, and utilizing macOS's Latin-based layout for non-Latin keyboards. Zed also adapts to non-US Latin keyboards by handling option-modified characters and employs key equivalents to align with QWERTY layouts, despite Apple's lack of public tables for these mappings. The update handles dead keys by using UCKeyTranslate, though this introduces minor incompatibilities with Vim's keyboard handling. These changes currently apply to macOS, with plans for similar adjustments on Linux and Windows to maintain platform-native experiences. The Zed team encourages feedback and contributions as they continue to refine the editor, which is available for download on macOS and Linux.
