Managed to set up cross-platform #Rust development environment with @zed using Windows as a remote host. Some tips:

* You have to let Zed proxy through the Windows firewall (I just disabled it as usual, since this is a lab network)
* The default cmd.exe shell doesn't seem to work with remote tasks (I suspect character escaping error), you have to explicitly set powershell.exe

I was initially concerned about usual Windows SSH shenanigans, but surprisingly my config (with jumphost and an agent) worked flawlessly from Linux.

h/t @raptor for the tip!
