Describe the feature

So I have Zed set as my git EDITOR, explicitly zed -n --wait

When I run $ git commit or $ git rebase -i or such it pops open Zed.

I'd really like an option for a window with no open tabs and no open directory to auto-close.

When I save and close the window with CMD+S, CMD-W though I am left with this little window with nothing going on

It'd be great if the whole window just closed. I could see this being a configurable option.

Here's how you configure this for other editors (source):

code --wait
subl -n -w
mate -w
open -Wn

We could conceivably add a similar -w or --wait

Edit: Zed has the same:

  -w, --wait
          Wait for all of the given paths to be opened/closed before exiting

  -n, --new
          Create a new workspace

[donatj]

That's not the problem. You already have a --wait that waits.

I've got in my gitconfig

[core]
        editor = zed -n --wait

It waits fine. It works fine. The process closes when I close the tab, as you'd want for a git EDITOR. That all works fine.

The problem is just I'm left with this empty window afterwards.

Update: Reworded my original ticket a little to hopefully make the issue clearer.

[notpeter]

Gotcha. When launched via zed --new --wait {FILE} closing the single file should cause the workspace to exit -- matching vscode behavior for code --wait {FILE}.

I assume adding an option is still considered? Because the solution mentioned by @notpeter only works in this specific situation;

Personally i'd prefer a config option, so it works in all situations.
Like how Sublime Text has close_windows_when_empty = "If true and no folder is open in the active window, the window will be closed when the last file is closed."
