+# VSCode Configuration for LaTeX Project
+
+This directory contains Visual Studio Code workspace settings optimized for LaTeX development with this project.
+
+## Features
+
+### LaTeX Workshop Integration
+- Configured to use `make` command for building
+- Multiple build recipes available:
+  - `make` - Standard build using Docker
+  - `make clean` - Clean auxiliary files
+  - `make full` - Clean and full rebuild
+
+### Key Settings
+- **Auto-build disabled** - Build manually with `Ctrl+Shift+B` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd+Shift+B` (Mac)
+- **PDF viewer** - Opens in a new tab within VSCode
+- **Output directory** - Configured to use `Output/` folder
+- **Auto-clean** - Cleans auxiliary files after successful build
+
+## Usage
+
+### Building the Document
+1. **Quick Build**: Press `Ctrl+Shift+B` / `Cmd+Shift+B`
+2. **Build Menu**: Press `Ctrl+Alt+B` / `Cmd+Alt+B` to see all build options
+3. **Command Palette**: Press `F1` and type "LaTeX Workshop: Build"
+
+### Viewing the PDF
+- After building, the PDF will automatically open in a new tab
+- Use `Ctrl+Alt+V` / `Cmd+Alt+V` to manually open the PDF
+
+### Tasks
+Additional tasks are available through the Command Palette (`F1`):
+- `Tasks: Run Task` shows all available make commands:
+  - Build LaTeX Document
+  - Clean Build Files
+  - Full Build
+  - View PDF
+  - Docker Build/Clean
+  - List Chapters
+  - Word Count
+  - Check Prerequisites
+
+## Recommended Extensions
+
+The following extensions are recommended for the best experience:
+- **LaTeX Workshop** - Main LaTeX support (required)
+- **Code Spell Checker** + German dictionary - Spell checking
+- **PDF Viewer** - Enhanced PDF viewing
+- **GitLens** - Git integration
+- **Docker** - Docker support for containerized builds
+
+Install all recommended extensions:
+1. Open Extensions sidebar (`Ctrl+Shift+X` / `Cmd+Shift+X`)
+2. Filter by `@recommended`
+3. Click "Install Workspace Recommended Extensions"
+
+## Customization
+
+To override any settings for your personal preferences, create a `.vscode/settings.local.json` file (git-ignored) or modify your user settings.
+
+### Enable Auto-Build on Save
+If you want to enable automatic building when saving `.tex` files, add this to your user settings:
+```json
+{
+    "latex-workshop.latex.autoBuild.run": "onSave"
+}
+```
+
+### Change PDF Viewer
+To use an external PDF viewer instead of the built-in one:
+```json
+{
+    "latex-workshop.view.pdf.viewer": "external",
+    "latex-workshop.view.pdf.external.viewer.command": "your-pdf-viewer",
+    "latex-workshop.view.pdf.external.viewer.args": ["%PDF%"]
+}
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build Fails
+1. Ensure Docker is running: `make docker-info`
+2. Check prerequisites: `make check`
+3. Try a clean build: `make full`
+
+### PDF Doesn't Open
+- Check if the PDF was created in `Output/Main.pdf`
+- Try manually opening: `make view`
+
+### Extensions Not Working
+1. Ensure LaTeX Workshop extension is installed and enabled
+2. Reload VSCode window: `F1` → "Developer: Reload Window"
+3. Check extension output: View → Output → Select "LaTeX Workshop"
+
+## File Exclusions
+
+The configuration hides common LaTeX auxiliary files from the file explorer:
+- `*.aux`, `*.log`, `*.synctex.gz`
+- `*.fdb_latexmk`, `*.fls`
+- `*.out`, `*.toc`, `*.bbl`, `*.blg`
+- Build directory contents (can be shown if needed)
+
+To show hidden files temporarily, use the file explorer's filter settings.

+# Zed Configuration for LaTeX Project
+
+This directory contains Zed editor workspace settings optimized for LaTeX development with this project.
+
+## Features
+
+### Build System Integration
+- Configured to use `make` command for all builds
+- **Auto-compile on save is DISABLED** as requested
+- Manual build triggers only
+
+### Key Settings
+- **Format on save** - Disabled for LaTeX files
+- **Auto-save** - Disabled to prevent unwanted builds
+- **Build command** - Uses `make` via Docker
+- **PDF viewer** - Uses system default (xdg-open on Linux)
+- **Word wrap** - Enabled for better readability
+
+## Usage
+
+### Building the Document
+1. **Default Build**: Press `Cmd+B` (Mac) / `Ctrl+B` (Linux)
+2. **Full Build**: Press `Cmd+Shift+B` (Mac) / `Ctrl+Shift+B` (Linux)
+3. **Command Palette**: Press `Cmd+Shift+P` and select a task
+
+### Available Tasks
+- **Build LaTeX Document** - Standard build using Docker
+- **Clean Build Files** - Remove auxiliary files
+- **Full Build** - Clean and rebuild from scratch
+- **View PDF** - Open the generated PDF
+- **Docker Build** - Explicit Docker build
+- **Docker Clean** - Clean Docker containers
+- **Word Count** - Show document statistics
+- **List Chapters** - Show all chapters
+- **Check Prerequisites** - Verify system requirements
+
+### Keyboard Shortcuts
+| Action | Mac | Linux/Windows |
+|--------|-----|---------------|
+| Build | `Cmd+B` | `Ctrl+B` |
+| Full Build | `Cmd+Shift+B` | `Ctrl+Shift+B` |
+| Clean | `Cmd+K Cmd+C` | `Ctrl+K Ctrl+C` |
+| View PDF | `Cmd+K Cmd+V` | `Ctrl+K Ctrl+V` |
+
+## Configuration Details
+
+### LaTeX Language Settings
+```json
+{
+  "LaTeX": {
+    "format_on_save": false,      // No auto-formatting
+    "autosave": false,             // No auto-save
+    "tab_size": 2,                 // 2-space indentation
+    "soft_wrap": "editor_width",   // Wrap at editor width
+    "enable_language_server": true // Enable LSP support
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Build Configuration
+The project is configured to use `make` for all build operations:
+- Build command: `make`
+- Working directory: Project root
+- Output directory: `Output/`
+
+### File Exclusions
+The following files are hidden from the file tree:
+- Build artifacts (`*.aux`, `*.log`, `*.synctex.gz`)
+- Bibliography files (`*.bbl`, `*.blg`)
+- Table of contents (`*.toc`, `*.lof`, `*.lot`)
+- Build directory contents
+
+## LSP Configuration (texlab)
+
+If you have `texlab` language server installed, it's configured with:
+- Build on save: **DISABLED**
+- Forward search: Disabled
+- ChkTeX: Enabled on open and save
+- Formatter: latexindent
+
+To install texlab:
+```bash
+# macOS
+brew install texlab
+
+# Linux (via cargo)
+cargo install texlab
+
+# Or download from GitHub releases
+```
+
+## Customization
+
+### Enable Auto-Save (Not Recommended)
+If you want to enable auto-save (will NOT trigger builds):
+```json
+{
+  "autosave": {
+    "after_delay": 1000
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Change PDF Viewer
+To use a different PDF viewer:
+```json
+{
+  "preview": {
+    "pdf_viewer": {
+      "open_command": "your-pdf-viewer"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Enable Build on Save (Not Recommended)
+If you really want to build on every save:
+```json
+{
+  "lsp": {
+    "texlab": {
+      "initialization_options": {
+        "build": {
+          "onSave": true
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build Doesn't Start
+1. Ensure Docker is running
+2. Check that `make` command works in terminal
+3. Try running `make docker-info` in terminal
+
+### Tasks Not Available
+1. Ensure you're in the project root
+2. Reload Zed: `Cmd+Q` and restart
+3. Check tasks.json is properly loaded
+
+### PDF Doesn't Open
+1. Check if PDF exists in `Output/Main.pdf`
+2. Verify system PDF viewer is configured
+3. Try manually: `make view` in terminal
+
+### Language Server Issues
+1. Install texlab if not already installed
+2. Check Zed's language server logs
+3. Disable and re-enable language server in settings
+
+## Important Notes
+
+1. **Auto-compile is intentionally disabled** - You must manually trigger builds
+2. **Format on save is disabled** - LaTeX formatting can break documents
+3. **Use Docker builds** - Ensures consistent environment
+4. **Check git status** - Some files are auto-generated and should not be committed
+
+## File Structure
+```
+.zed/
+├── settings.json  # Zed workspace settings
+├── tasks.json     # Build task definitions
+└── README.md      # This file
+```
+
+These configuration files are workspace-specific and should be committed to the repository so all team members have the same settings.
