alt Hacker NewsI'm asking how to move a function, or class to a different module (including its methods, imports throughout the project etc), as an example of IDE-101 stuff I can't figure out how to do in Zed, and makes me think Zed might [i]not[/i] be a replacement.

That’s a code intellisense feature set, not part of the core set of an editor. Especially when you have dynamic module loading. An IDE only focus on a few languages and it makes sense for them to have that capability.

Ahh got it. Yeah im not sure but maybe there’s a discord or irc for folks to help with that who use zed. Even Reddit maybe?

With the kind of editor Zed is, just like VSCode and Sublime, it's not goong to provide that function natively. The mechanics of moving functions between class/modules/packages/whatever are too different language to language. So you'll need to rely on LSP plugins for the different languages.
Or you could always use an actual IDE, but those are usually more language specific.
