Classic confinement for Zed

name: zed
description: Zed is a modern open-source code editor, built from the ground up in Rust with a GPU-accelerated renderer. We help you build software faster than ever before.
snapcraft: zed/crates/zed/resources/snap/snapcraft.yaml.in at main · zed-industries/zed · GitHub
upstream: GitHub - zed-industries/zed: Code at the speed of thought – Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter.
upstream-relation: Snap will be published by Zed Industries
supported-category: IDEs
reasoning: IDEs are a classic example for classic confinement - users expect to be able to easily access all of their files, etc.

I understand that strict confinement is generally preferred over classic.

I’ve tried the existing interfaces to make the snap to work under strict confinement.

Oh very excited by the idea of Zed coming to the snap store!

Sorry for the delay. I agree that zed fits under the IDEs category and also saw that the debugger is also announced in the roadmap. Thus, the need for classic is clear to me.

I’ll contact you via private message to start the publisher vetting

Thanks
