I believe that the use case you describe is a bit different than where you would use Zed primarily. If I have a code base with 100k lines of code, and I am developing that, I don't hop from terminal to editor and back by using the same terminal instance. I have different terminal window for that. Closing the editor window would lose too much context.

My colleague taught me to never close the editor, but just suspend it to background. You can achieve a lot with Ctrl-Z, fg, and :e!.

I have Ctrl + J/K set to switch terminal tabs, even faster to switch in my opinion

Oh, good point!

tmux solves for this.
