# On Linux `zed` is also the name of the ZFS Event Daemon, an unrelated system

# service with no user-level config. The paths below are what tells the two

# apart: only the editor writes them.

detect = ["zed"]

# crates/paths/src/paths.rs: config_dir() is ~/.config/zed on macOS,

# $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/zed on Linux and %APPDATA%\Zed on Windows — the XDG

# configuration directory on macOS as well as Linux, which is `[configHome]`,

# so the variable is followed instead of ~/.config being assumed. Windows

# capitalizes the directory `Zed`; the one spelling below carries the Unix

# casing and Windows resolves it either way. settings_file(), keymap_file(),

# tasks_file(), themes_dir() and snippets_dir() are all config_dir joined with

# settings.json, keymap.json, tasks.json, themes and snippets. The

# .zed/settings.json a project carries is not user-level.

# The same file's data_dir() — ~/Library/Application Support/Zed on macOS,

# $XDG_DATA_HOME/zed on Linux, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Zed on Windows — holds the

# database, the logs and the installed extensions. None of it is config, and

# the extensions are a checkout Zed re-downloads. Not `[xdgData]` either: that

# is the XDG half of the pair, and data_dir() takes the macOS branch

# `home_dir().join("Library/Application Support")` there rather than the dot

# path, so ~/.local/share/zed is the Linux spelling alone. And not `[dataHome]`

# even though the three roots line up: Zed spells the directory `zed` on Linux

# and `Zed` on macOS and Windows, and a case-sensitive filesystem would drop a

# carve-out written under the wrong one.

# Zed keeps sign-ins in the system keychain, not in the config directory.

# No machine_lines: settings.json is themes, fonts, language servers and

# keymaps — the preferences a user wants on every machine. A running Zed holds

# them in memory and rewrites the file on change, so side_effect stays at its

# default of true.
