[X] Completed

Describe the feature

Zed currently only supports UTF-8 text. This is an enhancement request for it to support other text encodings.

[ ] ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) latin1.txt
[ ] CP865 (DOS Nordic) cp865.txt
[ ] KOI8-R (Russian) koi8_r.txt
[ ] UTF-16 (16bit Unicode) utf16.txt
[ ] Shift-JIS (Japanese) main_shift-jis.cpp.txt

Workarounds

You can convert your files to UTF-8 using external tools like Sublime Text or iconv. If you know the encoding (e.g. ISO-8859-1 Latin1):

iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t input.txt > output.txt

Etc

There are separate issues for supporting non-text binary data and CR/LF line-endings:

If there are additional specific encodings you would like to see, please comment below with a sample file and I will add it to the list above.

Please 👍 upvote this issue if you would like to see this feature prioritized. (+1 comments will be removed).

I think Windows 1252 (or CP1252) would be a useful addition. cp1252.txt
