The author values Recursive for its clarity and flair, and presents Moxy as a way to bring in Lilex features while keeping Recursive's distinctive style. Moxy ships with the author's character choices, which users can swap according to preference. The excerpt says to install it like any font, but its alternative Homebrew command is omitted from the supplied text. ### Source excerpt Every time I switch or try out a new font, I track it in my my-new-programming-font series. Some of the popular ones: IBM Plex Mono, Recursive, Commit Mono, Berkeley Mono. This time's a little different. It's one I've "made" myself, and I'm calling it Moxy. Built on strong bones ## Moxy is built on top of Recursive. It's a stretch to call it a new font -- it's Recursive with a set of opinionated character choices and a few fixes to the original. There's two things I love about Recursive: it's one of the most legible and clear fonts out there it's got flair1 Recursive was also a pioneer in pushing what variable type fonts can do. Another font I've been testing and playing with is Lilex. It's popular again because editors like Zed use it as the default. Lilex is really just IBM Plex Mono with a set of special characters and ligature choices. It's an excellent font in many ways, and one I often find myself switching to. Lilex has a few ligatures I absolutely love for programming. So, with the power of AI coding, I thought to myself: what if I had Recursive but with some of the glyphs of Lilex? Thus was born Moxy. What's different: ## The font ships with my specific Recursive character choices baked in. But you can swap them in and out depending on your preference. Install it ## Download the v1 release, unzip it, and install the .ttf files like any other font. Alternatively, use brew: brew install --cask kaushikgopal/tools/font-moxy People understandably love and swear by JetBrains Mono. They keep asking why I don't cite or bring it up. I love that JetBrains Mono exists, but I find it a "drab" font -- and that's not always a bad thing. When you look at Recursive, it makes a statement. ↩︎ ## GitHub Copilot support in Zed generally available DevFeed: [GitHub Copilot support in Zed generally available]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Allison Published: 2026-02-19T22:24:53Z Content type: release Language: en Sources: [GitHub Changelog]() Topics: [GitHub Copilot](), [GitHub]() Tags: [ai](), [atom](), [authentication](), [business](), [chat](), [code](), [community](), [copilot](), [creators](), [credentials](), [developers](), [development](), [discussion](), [enterprise](), [github](), [github-copilot](), [partnership](), [subscription](), [support](), [zed]() ### AI overview GitHub Copilot authentication is generally available in Zed for paid Copilot Pro, Pro+, Business, and Enterprise subscribers, who can use their existing subscription without an additional AI license.

The excerpt says each monorepo sub-project can have its own toolchain, with separate language servers per toolchain to keep completions, navigation, and hovers accurate. Basedpyright is now the default LSP; ty and Ruff are supported out of the box, while Pyrefly is available through an extension. The changes address Python's mix of package managers, environments, and language servers, which can leave editors without the context needed to use the right interpreter. The excerpt ends while introducing toolchains for other languages, so it does not describe the complete implementation. ### Source excerpt Less wrestling with settings.json == more coding. ## Zed for Windows Progress Update DevFeed: [Zed for Windows Progress Update]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Max Brunsfeld Published: 2025-08-19T00:00:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Zed Industries]() Topics: [Windows](), [DirectX](), [GPU](), [shaders]() Tags: [directx](), [gpu](), [shaders](), [windows](), [zed]() ### AI overview Zed's Windows team reports progress on a DirectX 11 rendering backend intended to avoid Vulkan compatibility issues and reduce memory use.

GPUI, the UI framework behind Zed, uses Apache 2, allowing applications built with it to be distributed under any license. The team says opening the code is meant to improve the product by widening developer participation and sharing its work. It also introduces Zed Channels for real-time coding via a shared link and plans public "Fireside Hacks" sessions to work on Zed with participants. The excerpt begins to address how openness fits a sustainable business model but cuts off before explaining the approach. ### Source excerpt We hope you'll join us in our mission to fundamentally advance software collaboration. ## Zed's AI Assistant Helps With Code Documentation and Template Migration DevFeed: [Zed's AI Assistant Helps With Code Documentation and Template Migration]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Marshall Bowers Published: 2024-01-22T00:00:00Z Content type: opinion Language: en Sources: [Zed Industries]() Topics: [Artificial Intelligence](), [Programming](), [context](), [Code](), [migration](), [Software]() Tags: [ai](), [code](), [coding](), [context](), [docs](), [migration](), [zed]() ### AI overview The author describes using Zed's built-in AI assistant for coding tasks, including copying documentation comments between structs and rewriting HTML into a new DSL.

The author maps CMD+T to the fuzzy file finder, which Zed binds to CMD+P by default, and uses CMD+L for go to line. SHIFT+CMD+F already matches Zed's Global Cross File Search. CMD+/ was already defined for commenting a selected region or line, though it did not work for the author. ### Source excerpt I'm now deep into my week of using the Zed editor, a new code editor written in Rust. In this blog post, I'll document how to change the default keystrokes. Commands This happens from the Zed menu, the Preferences command. There are two commands you need: Open Default Key Bindings Open Key Bindings What you want to do is: Zed menu => Preferences => Open Default Key Bindings. This gives you a giant JSON file in a buffer which you can CMD+A, CMD+C. Zed menu => Preferences => Open Key Bindings. You can then paste this in and make changes. For example, I am used to these keystrokes which I use constantly: CMD+T - fuzzy file finder; By default this is CMD+P in Zed CMD+L - goto line SHIFT+CMD+F - Global Cross File Search (already the same in Zed!) CMD+/ - block comment the selected region or line Once I knew the keystrokes I wanted, I simply needed to search the json file and then make changes as needed. I did notice that CMD+/ was already defined as a commenting feature and it simply didn't work which is why I thought I needed to change it.
