Are you familiar with ACP[0]? Through that protocol you can run claude code within zed[1]. Or perhaps I'm not understanding what you mean by using CC integration.

Yep. Zed is the best. It’s in an optimum spot for me. It’s super snappy and has good implementation of vim keybindings for manual coding, and it has appropriate AI integration that does all the AI stuff I want without being in my face about how AI it all is.

Yeah, I find Zed to be strictly the best experience for "I actually want a pleasant editor" experience. Using it reminds me of when I finally switched from nano to sublime as a freshman.
