projects: open recent

[JosephTLyons]

Did you ever wish you could open a project as quickly as you cmd-p a file from within your editor? Well, in Zed, you absolutely can. The action can be summoned through the command palette under projects: open recent, or, simply by using alt-cmd-o.

You can quickly filter down to what you want and launch the project immediately.

Pro Tip: You can use projects: open recent to focus on a window that is already open. If your project is open in a different macOS Space, running projects: open recent and selecting that project will bring that space and Zed window into focus.

This is awesome! Would also be nice to be able to switch between projects on the same Zed instance instead of a new window.

I think since 0.125.0 Preview cmd-click opens a project in a new window, otherwise the project is open in the same window.

I just want to say project management in ZED is amazing. With everyday it holistically gets stronger. Thanks!

I'd like to have an opportunity right click on icon in dock, and see recent projects as is in VSCode.

This feature request is being tracked in #8416 and has a person looking into its implementation.

[diocletiann]

@JosephTLyons could we have an option to open the other project in the same window?

How do I force zed always open blank project? It keeps open my last project which is annoying.

This is not yet available in Zed. You can +👍 the #7694 feature request.

I love this feature. I'm probably in the minority with this request, but it'd be amazing if I could opt in to all it show all of my projects. I have like 20 repos for I jump through daily, so that would be a game changer for me.

Love this feature! I too switch between multiple projects everyday, would be super cool if you could set a project path in your config and switch between them with a project switcher like the recent projects one.

This is great, but it does not seem to work when working with remote projects. Is it going to be implemented?

[bjackman]

It works for me, I guess you are experiencing a bug?

[bjackman]

In VSCode, if you already have the other project open in another window, then this command (well, its equivalent) will just focus that window. It seems that (with {"create_new_window": true}) Zed will open another instance of the same project. Any chance of updating that?
