Describe the feature

Hello. I want to suggest to add to the Zed editor a new small item to the "Toggle User Menu". The new item would be called "About Zed" and can contain Zed's Version, Zed's License, and perhaps info about new releases available. Maybe a link or a button to the install location for new releases ?

Thanks !

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

I have no opinion on whether this should be added, but note that there are multiple ways to access this information already via click or keyboard.

Thanks @baldwindavid, I was typing up this response when GitHub live-updated and displayed yours! 🤣

Linux doesn't have "Zed Dev" like Mac.

"About CMD" cuts part of the version, and the UI doesn't follow same theme.

Copy into Clipboard shows wrong version, doesn't follow editor's theme too.

Auto update do nothing (on Linux at least).

Something else, I don't know if that's intentional, but mixing editor cmds with meta data about the editor is what you guys want? Perhaps if the cmd's list is smaller, it would make the editor render faster.

With this addition we can have consistency between Mac, Linux and Perhaps Windows ?
