Introduction

日本語

ForgeKairos is a fork of the Zed code editor. It takes in Zed's releases one at a time (it is currently based on Zed v1.22.0) and adds:

• a multilingual UI, starting with English and Japanese (Display language and translations)
• control over outbound traffic started by AI features, denied by default (Outbound network control)
• AI that is off until you turn it on, with local LLMs first and Claude Code integration (AI)
• a symbol index and a call graph for large C and C++ projects (C and C++ code navigation)
• terminal macros, quick connections and session logs (Terminal macros and sessions)
• a commit graph with history editing and a merge request box (Git)
• Markdown input helpers and a structured editor for Mermaid diagrams (Markdown and Mermaid)
• a spreadsheet-like grid for CSV and TSV files (CSV and TSV grid)
• SSH remoting to old Linux hosts and terminals that survive disconnects (Remote development)
