     @janl while there is a way to disable it, the fact that this is a default

     *and* you can’t make it go away without also first signing into the editor with github (something they’ve obstinately ignored requests to remove the affordance on every GUI window for)

     *and* they display it even when you’re not signed in and therefore fixing it requires multiple steps

     *and* they worsened the default autocomplete sort in the new version

     not a good look

     It’s a shame, it’s a decent editor with a lot of potential, but they’ve told us who they are, and I believe them.

     @janl lol

     this is the editor’s keymap file, I think it’s more of a namespace separator

     @mattly heh, I’m just here marvelling at making :: a word separator there. It makes no sense.

     @mattly no I mean for the purpose of matching the autocomplete. It should only show entries with the error:: prefix.

     so I ran into some issues trying to create a language pack for Zed because the fennel language server isn’t hosted or even mirrored on github, and I was the first person to try contributing an extension whose repository wasn’t on github either

     I think I’m also going to be the first person to have deleted their extension’s repository

     one of my former managers called me a “forcing function” for product design

     most of that is just figuring out for which parts of some abstract design the details really matter and forcing iteration and decision-making on those

     but some of it is probably personality and an unwillingness to just play along

     the forcing function forces, and perhaps one shouldn't construct a plugin ecosystem around git submodules: https://github.com/zed-industries/extensions/pull/2075

     @mattly Some people, when faced with a software distribution problem, think "I know! I'll use git!"

     And now they have made this everybody's problem
