VS-Code extension - Adapting for Zed

Hello dear JetBrains team.

I'm a big fan and avid user of the “C# by ReSharper” VS-Code extension.

I think it's very cool that there is some form of the resharper engine that is editor agnostic. Of course, right now, only VS-Code based editors are supported. 

Since the extension uses a backend that isn't directly coupled to VS-Code, I wanted to ask if I would be permitted to try to make it work together with the Zed editor? I think it should be possible, given that one could implement a “simple” bridge that sits in between Zed and the resharper backend. The backend wouldn't be tampered with in any way and the existing licensing system will stay in place, just as it is for the VS-Code extension.

I'm not asking for any effort on your side towards compatibility. I'm only asking about permission to write a Zed compatible wrapper around the resharper backend you already distribute.

Would such a thing be possible?

Thanks for your time! :)

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for reaching out, and for your interest in ReSharper for VS Code. We’re glad to hear you’re finding it useful.
At this time, we can’t support or authorize use of the ReSharper backend outside its intended VS Code integration.
We are continuing to evaluate options for supporting additional editors, including Zed. Unfortunately, we do not have anything to announce or any firm timeline to share at this time. Please keep an eye on our official channels for future updates.
