Configuring Zed

Configuration Paths

File	Purpose
`~/.config/zed/settings.json`	Global settings
`~/.config/zed/keymap.json`	Custom keybindings
`.zed/settings.json`	Project-local settings

Rules

Modify global config (
```
~/.config/zed/
```
) unless project-specific override is requested
Zed uses JSONC (JSON with comments) for config files
Settings are merged: project settings override global settings
