Can you start by figuring out where the accessibility tree should be built and how elements currently expose their roles? Read crates/gpui/src/element.rs Search "accessibility" in crates/gpui/ List crates/gpui/src/platform/ Let me look at the GPUI element trait and the window's paint cycle to understand where we can hook into the tree. I'll also check if there's any existing accessibility scaffolding.

Now I can have shortcuts to run and debug tests. Ever since snippets were added, Zed has all of the features I could ask for in an editor. JV José Valim Creator of Elixir I've had my mind blown using Zed with Claude 3.5 Sonnet. I wrote up a few sentences around a research idea and Claude 3.5 Sonnet delivered a first pass in seconds. When I spotted some small mistakes, I highlighted the parts I wanted to change and shared feedback for it to fix. I was able to go from idea to running experiment code in half an hour —it was really easy and fun. EP Ethan Perez Adversarial Robustness Research Lead This is obviously a product built with love and care. I can tell it from two minutes of using it. Kudos to the team. DA Dan Abramov React Core Team Member My god it is so fast. Boot time, UI interaction, typing latency. I feel it. I knew VS Code always felt sluggish, but I didn't realize how good things could really be. I'm honestly astounded. MB Matt Baker Principal Engineer I’ve started using Zed, and I love it. Lots of subtle innovations (multibuffers, inlay hints, collaboration). Thoughtful, precise design. And the speed, the speed! MB Mike Bostock Creator of D3.js, founder of Observable Zed Just Works Incredibly powerful out of the box. And it only gets better as, every week, there's always a new version.
