Implements the Zed remote-open use case tracked in Discussion #6801 (previously #7899). This uses the generalized remote-editor architecture rather than the dedicated Zed launcher approach from #4362.

What Changed

  • Add Zed editor as an option for opening code on a remote computer
  • As a part of this cahnge, also refactored slightly to make it easier to add new editors in the future with remote editor capabilities

Why

It is nice to have T3 Code open in your editor of choice, given that the editor supports remote editing.

Devin Review

Note

Medium Risk
Changes URL allowlisting and external-open security rules for custom protocol handlers; mistakes could block legitimate editor links or allow unsafe schemes.

Overview
Adds Open in Zed for remote SSH environments alongside VS Code, using zed://ssh/<host><path> deep links while VS Code forks keep the existing vscode-remote shape.

Editor contracts now use a shared RemoteEditorOpenDefinition (scheme, urlHost, sshPathPrefix) instead of a bare remoteScheme, so buildRemoteOpenUrl and Electron’s openExternal allowlist validate each editor’s URL pattern generically (including blocking credentials and malformed Zed links).

On desktop, hasProtocolHandler probes the OS via Electron so probeRemoteEditors can detect Zed/VS Code when the CLI is missing from PATH (e.g. Finder launches). Browser clients fall back to offering VS Code and Zed and rely on the OS handler. User docs describe remote editor opening behavior.

Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 0104f84. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.

Note

Add Zed zed://ssh remote project deep link support across desktop and web

  • Replaces EditorDefinition.remoteScheme with a new RemoteEditorOpenDefinition type (scheme, urlHost, sshPathPrefix) in editor.ts, and adds a remoteOpen definition for Zed using zed://ssh/<host>/<path>
  • Generalizes buildRemoteOpenUrl to construct editor-specific deep links from the definition instead of hardcoded VS Code-style URLs
  • Adds ElectronShell.hasProtocolHandler in ElectronShell.ts using Electron.app.getApplicationNameForProtocol; probeRemoteEditors now includes editors with a registered OS protocol handler even when their CLI is absent from PATH
  • Updates isRemoteEditorUrl to validate URLs against per-editor definitions (scheme, host, path prefix, SSH target + project path) and reject malformed or non-SSH links
  • Expands the browser fallback editor list in remoteOpen.ts to include both vscode and zed
  • Behavioral Change: EditorDefinition.remoteScheme field is removed; any out-of-tree code referencing it must migrate to editor.remoteOpen. remoteSchemeForEditor is replaced by remoteOpenDefinitionForEditor

Implements the Zed remote-open use case tracked in Discussion #6801 (previously #7899). This uses the generalized remote-editor architecture rather than the dedicated Zed launcher approach from #4362.
What Changed
  • Add Zed editor as an option for opening code on a remote computer
  • As a part of this cahnge, also refactored slightly to make it easier to add new editors in the future with remote editor capabilities
Why
It is nice to have T3 Code open in your editor of choice, given that the editor supports remote editing.

Changes URL allowlisting and external-open security rules for custom protocol handlers; mistakes could block legitimate editor links or allow unsafe schemes.
Overview

Adds Open in Zed for remote SSH environments alongside VS Code, using zed://ssh/<host><path> deep links while VS Code forks keep the existing vscode-remote shape.
Editor contracts now use a shared RemoteEditorOpenDefinition (scheme, urlHost, sshPathPrefix) instead of a bare remoteScheme, so buildRemoteOpenUrl and Electron’s openExternal allowlist validate each editor’s URL pattern generically (including blocking credentials and malformed Zed links).
On desktop, hasProtocolHandler probes the OS via Electron so probeRemoteEditors can detect Zed/VS Code when the CLI is missing from PATH (e.g. Finder launches). Browser clients fall back to offering VS Code and Zed and rely on the OS handler. User docs describe remote editor opening behavior.
Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 0104f84. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
Note
Add Zed zed://ssh remote project deep link support across desktop and web
  • Replaces EditorDefinition.remoteScheme with a new RemoteEditorOpenDefinition type (scheme, urlHost, sshPathPrefix) in editor.ts, and adds a remoteOpen definition for Zed using zed://ssh/<host>/<path>
  • Generalizes buildRemoteOpenUrl to construct editor-specific deep links from the definition instead of hardcoded VS Code-style URLs
  • Adds ElectronShell.hasProtocolHandler in ElectronShell.ts using Electron.app.getApplicationNameForProtocol; probeRemoteEditors now includes editors with a registered OS protocol handler even when their CLI is absent from PATH
  • Updates isRemoteEditorUrl to validate URLs against per-editor definitions (scheme, host, path prefix, SSH target + project path) and reject malformed or non-SSH links
  • Expands the browser fallback editor list in remoteOpen.ts to include both vscode and zed
  • Behavioral Change: EditorDefinition.remoteScheme field is removed; any out-of-tree code referencing it must migrate to editor.remoteOpen. remoteSchemeForEditor is replaced by remoteOpenDefinitionForEditor

Changes URL allowlisting and external-open security rules for custom protocol handlers; mistakes could block legitimate editor links or allow unsafe schemes.
Overview

Adds Open in Zed for remote SSH environments alongside VS Code, using zed://ssh/<host><path> deep links while VS Code forks keep the existing vscode-remote shape.
Editor contracts now use a shared RemoteEditorOpenDefinition (scheme, urlHost, sshPathPrefix) instead of a bare remoteScheme, so buildRemoteOpenUrl and Electron’s openExternal allowlist validate each editor’s URL pattern generically (including blocking credentials and malformed Zed links).
On desktop, hasProtocolHandler probes the OS via Electron so probeRemoteEditors can detect Zed/VS Code when the CLI is missing from PATH (e.g. Finder launches). Browser clients fall back to offering VS Code and Zed and rely on the OS handler. User docs describe remote editor opening behavior.

Approvability
Verdict: Not approved
Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This cross-cutting feature adds Zed remote-editor deep links, expands desktop custom-protocol handling, and changes the browser’s default remote-editor choices. The product-default change and security-sensitive external launching warrant human review.

Related implementation: #7900 covers the same Zed SSH links and notes that Zed Preview may need to register the shared zed:// protocol before remote links open correctly. Please retain that setup guidance in this implementation.
