Zed recently introduced a "subtle mode" for its Edit Prediction feature, powered by the open-source Zeta model, addressing user feedback that the predictive text was too distracting. This mode keeps predicted text hidden by default, only revealing it when a modifier key is held, which allows users to access predictions without interruption. Subtle mode is activated through settings or the UI in Zed v0.179.x and uses a small popover to indicate when a prediction is available. Users can preview and accept predictions using specific keybindings, ensuring a seamless experience that maintains cursor position. This feature aims to enhance AI-assisted coding without disrupting the user's workflow, offering a minimal and elegant solution for developers. Zed encourages users to try this feature on macOS or Linux and invites those interested in its development to join their team.
