I was trying out zed after VS Code and I've stumbled upon inconsistency
with debugging hotkeys.
In VS Code it's f10/f11, in zed it was much more awkward f7/ctrl-f11.
Investigating, I've found that I can't just override f11, because it's
used by `zed::ToggleFullScreen` global hotkey and global hotkey always
beats `Workspace && debugger_stopped`.
Furthermore, I've found f11 hotkey is available, but only on Mac. And on
Windows there was no `StepInto` hotkey at all. So configs were unsynced
in that regard.
Code changes:
- To make f11 overridable, I've moved it to `Workspace` context - it's
still pretty global, but now it's overridable. Though `Workspace &&
debugger_stopped` have the same depth as `Workspace`, it will take
priority, because it's registered later in .json.
- StepInto - added f11 hotkey for all platforms (was missing on linux
and windows), kept older ctrl-f11 too as some users might be used to it.
A note that on Mac F11 was added previously as `Workspace &&
debugger_running` - which practically means the hotkey wasn't available.
`debugger_running` means debugger is running in background, user needs
step commands when `debugger_stopped`- when they're actually stepping
through the code.
- StepOver - added f10 hotkey for all platforms (was missing on linux
and mac). Kept old f7 hotkey on linux and mac, didn't added it on
windows as it wasn't present before.
- StepOut - it was consistently shift-f11 on all platforms already, just
moved it from global context for consistency.
- Removed StepOver, StepInto, StepOut from debugger_session context and
kept it only in `debugger_stopped`, as this is when they're actually
useful, similar to how we have `debugger::Continue"` there which also
makes sense only when debugger is stopped.
I've separated changes by commits, so it would be easier to review them.
PS Global hotkeys overriding specific ones seems a bit odd by itself -
it seems global more specific hotkeys should always have a priority, so
maybe it's something to look into too.
Another thing that `default-xxx.json` share a lot of hotkeys, so
maintaining them separately may have other things going out of sync too.
Closes#58899.

# Objective
When developing remotely, when I close the uncommitted changes tab, I
need some time to load before I can copy the path. Or have to switch to
the project panel to find the specific file. All of this is annoying, so
I added a copy path action to the git panel's context menu and key
bindings consistent with the project panel.
## Solution
Already described in the Objective section.
## Testing
I wrote a unit test and tested it manually.

Release Notes:
- Added "Copy Path" and "Copy Relative Path" actions to the Git Panel's
context menu
The notebook editor has actions for adding and moving cells but no way
to delete one. This adds `notebook::DeleteCell`:
- Trash icon button in the notebook toolbar (own group below
add-markdown/add-code, disabled when the notebook has no cells)
- Jupyter-style `d d` binding plus `backspace` in cell command mode
(macOS and Linux keymaps)
- Deletes the selected cell; selection moves to the neighboring cell,
focus returns to command mode, and the item is marked dirty via the
existing structural-change tracking so saving persists the deletion
Tested locally on macOS with the notebook feature enabled: button click
and bindings delete the selected cell and saving writes the result.
(Screenshots in comments.)
Release Notes:
- Added a delete-cell action (`d d` in command mode and a toolbar
button) to the notebook editor (preview-only).

# Objective
Fix Git panel keybindings intercepting input intended for the repository
selector.
With Vim mode enabled, pressing `i` in the selector focused the
commit-message editor instead of filtering repositories. Platform
keybindings could also intercept printable input such as spaces.
Fixes#57936
## Solution
Exclude the `GitRepositorySelector` context from the Git panel
changes-list bindings in the macOS, Linux, Windows, and Vim keymaps.
## Testing
Manually tested on macOS using a debug build with Vim mode enabled and a
workspace containing two Git repositories

# Objective
Closes#58986
This PR fixes `Ctrl-K Ctrl-O` opening a file picker while the Recent
Projects picker is focused.
The keymaps globally bind `Ctrl-O` to `workspace::OpenFiles` and `Ctrl-K
Ctrl-O` to `workspace::Open`
The Recent Projects context also binds `Ctrl-K` to toggle its actions
menu. The more specific binding ate `Ctrl-K` stopping the global `Ctrl-K
Ctrl-O` bind occuring.
## Solution
Add a `RecentProjects`-specific `Ctrl-K Ctrl-O` binding to
`workspace::Open` after the existing contextual `Ctrl-K` binding.
This matches the action associated with “Open Local Folders,” including
its multiple-selection and open-mode behavior.
macOS is unchanged because its primary `Cmd-O` shortcut already maps to
`workspace::Open`.

Try #58986, then this.

I suggest to focus on new feature keybindings support `Text Finder`
instead of supporting old `DeployReplace`:
1. Add `cmd+opt+f` bind for `Text Finder` in `Editor` and `BufferSearch`
to all platforms (now it's not there)
2. Remove `cmd+opt+f` bind for `buffer_search::DeployReplace` from
`Editor` and `BufferSearch` on macOS.
3. Add breaking changes `buffer_search::DeployReplace` has no keybind
anymore on macOS.

Release Notes:
- `Text Search` now opens from almost all contexts (added `Editor`,
`BufferSearch`)
- Breaking changes: Dropped support for toggle filters hotkey in
`BufferSearch` in macOS instead of supporting new `Text Search` feature
with `cmd+alt+f`
Sometimes when creating Git worktrees, it's necessary to set things up
so the new worktree is ready. For example, copying env.vars, installing
dependencies, etc. That was already possible in Zed through the tasks
system, but you'd only maybe know about that if you read the
documentation or is super familiar with it already; nothing in the
product in the context of worktrees told you about that. This is what
this PR does.
Now, in the worktree picker, there's a "" button that opens the
`tasks.json` file exposing the `create_worktree` hook, which allows you
to plugin all sorts of things to be run by the time of a worktree
creation. If you don't already have a `tasks.json` file, we will create
a new one for you with a worktree-creation template. Otherwise, we
either append the `create_worktree` hook content to it or just open the
file.

Release Notes:
- Git Worktrees: Improved discoverability of the `create_worktree` hook
for setting up things that need to happen by the time of worktree
creation.
This PR adds a series of design improvements to the branch picker,
including:
- Consistent icon used for filter actions
- A keybinding/action to trigger the filter menu with the keyboard
- Filter menu positioning depending on the picker's editor position
- Error display that displays the full label without truncation/tooltip,
and is placed accordingly also depending on the picker's editor position
- List subheader in the search list depending on filtered option

Release Notes:
- N/A
Fixes menu a11y, and adds landmarks with `F6`-navigation.
Also fixes a GPUI bug, and adds debug actions for dumping a11y tree
info.
Since `F6` was already in use by the pause debugger keybind, also
tightens up the debugger keybind context so they require an active
debugger session. When there is one active, `F6` stays as pause
debugger. `ctrl-F6` always works to go to the next landmark.
Also adds an "accessible mode" setting. Currently, this only controls
whether we show all menus all the time, but I suspect it will expand
significantly in the future.
Also adds `.aria_keyshortcuts()` API, but it's not wired up within
accesskit adapters, so is not yet reported to screen readers.

- N/A or Added/Fixed/Improved ...
Toggle Markdown Preview with the Existing Preview Shortcut
## Context
Markdown files already expose actions for opening a rendered preview in
the current pane or to the side. The current-pane preview action focuses
the preview, but there was no matching keyboard path from the preview
back to the source editor.
Users expect the existing preview shortcut to behave like a mode toggle:
press it from the editor to preview, then press it again from the
preview to return to editing. The existing preview view keeps a handle
to its source editor, so the preview can return focus to that editor
without adding a broader workspace-level toggle.
## Feature
Add a markdown-preview-scoped action,
`markdown::CloseAndReturnToEditor`, and bind the existing preview
shortcut to complementary actions:
- In a markdown editor, `ctrl-shift-v` on Linux and Windows, or
`cmd-shift-v` on macOS, dispatches `markdown::OpenPreview`.
- In a markdown preview, the same platform shortcut dispatches
`markdown::CloseAndReturnToEditor`.
The close action first activates and focuses the source editor. If the
source editor entity is no longer open in any pane, the action adds it
back to the active pane before closing the preview. The preview is
closed with `SaveIntent::Skip` because the preview is not the owner of
source-buffer changes.
Existing markdown preview shortcuts remain available.
## Alternatives
- Bind `escape` to close the preview. This is easy to discover, but it
does not provide a symmetric editor/preview toggle and can overlap with
transient UI such as search.
- Add a new dedicated toggle chord, such as `ctrl-alt-v` / `cmd-alt-v`.
This avoids changing the preview shortcut's meaning in the preview
context, but it makes users learn a second shortcut for the same
preview/edit workflow.
- Teach `markdown::OpenPreview` to toggle based on the active item. That
would mix editor-scoped preview creation with preview-scoped close
behavior and make the action depend on more workspace state.
## Consequences
- The toggle behavior is implemented by context-specific keybindings
rather than one action that changes meaning globally.
- Returning to edit mode works even when the original editor tab has
been closed while the preview remains open.
- The preview close path has focused GPUI tests because it relies on
pane activation, focus restoration, and asynchronous item closing.
Release Notes:
- Add a markdown action to close the current preview and focus the
related source file
# Objective
Make branch filtering consistent and more flexible across the title bar
and Git panel branch pickers.
## Solution
- Replace the remote-only filter toggle with a dropdown for all, local,
and remote branches.
- Preserve the selected filter across branch picker instances.
- Add a ListFilter icon and active-filter indicator.
- Prevent nested filter-menu interactions from dismissing the parent
picker.
- Cycle through all, local, and remote filters with the existing
keyboard shortcut.
## Testing
- Ran `cargo check -p git_ui --tests --no-default-features`.
- Verified formatting with `cargo fmt -p git_ui`.
- Manually checked the filter dropdown from the title bar and Git panel.

Release Notes:
- Improved branch filtering with local, remote, and all-branch options
in the branch picker.
Turns out I only tested it with all tabs closed, the keybinding would
only work when all tabs were closed and you focused the agent panel. If
a file was opened in the center pane, cmd-f would open a search in that
file instead of searching in the agent panel, even if the thread view as
focused.
Closes#60686
Release Notes:
- agent: Fixed an issue where cmd-f would not work if file is open in
center pane
## Context
On Linux, `ctrl-q` is globally bound to `zed::Quit`. When a
`TerminalView` is focused, pressing `ctrl-q` quit the application
instead of forwarding the keycode to the shell, breaking programs like
`ftp`, `tig`, and any app that uses XON/XOFF flow control.
Windows already had the fix: its `Terminal` keymap context overrides
`ctrl-q` with `["terminal::SendKeystroke", "ctrl-q"]`. The Linux keymap
was simply missing that override.
Closes#58809
Manual test after fix below :

## How to Review
- **`assets/keymaps/default-linux.json`** : One-line addition in the
`Terminal` context under the "Overrides for conflicting keybindings"
comment, mirroring the existing Windows entry.
- **`crates/terminal_view/src/terminal_view.rs`** : Regression test
`ctrl_q_is_forwarded_to_terminal_not_quit` (Linux-only, `#[cfg(target_os
= "linux")]`): loads the default keymap, focuses a display-only
terminal, simulates `ctrl-q`, and asserts the PTY receives byte `0x11`
instead of the quit action firing.

Makes cmd-f work for terminal threads.
Since the agent panel is not part of the normal pane system we have to
manually hook up the search bar.

Closes AI-159
Closes AI-434
Closes AI-435
Release Notes:
- Key agent-related settings now live in the settings editor, close to
all other settings available in Zed. This specifically includes the move
of LLM providers, external agents, and MCP servers to the settings
editor.

Add `ExpandAllEntries` action, keybinding, and right-click context menu
entries for expand/collapse all in the project panel.
- Add `ExpandAllEntries` action + handler + `expand_all_entries()`
method
- Add `cmd-right` / `ctrl-right` keybinding for `ExpandAllEntries`,
mirroring
the existing `cmd-left` for `CollapseAllEntries`
- Add "Expand All" to root-entry and folder right-click context menus
- Add keybinding hint to root-entry "Collapse All" context menu entry
- Per-worktree behavior: context menu actions affect only the selected
worktree,
subfolder "Expand All" expands from that folder down
# Objective
The project panel had no discoverable way to expand or collapse all
entries. The only ways were keyboard shortcuts (`cmd-left` for collapse
all)
or the right-click context menu. The global `ExpandAllEntries` shortcut
(`cmd-right`) was also missing. This PR adds that shortcut and exposes
both actions in the context menu so users learn the keybindings while
keeping the UI minimal.
## Solution
- Add `ExpandAllEntries` action + handler + `expand_all_entries()`
method
- Add `cmd-right` / `ctrl-right` keybinding for `ExpandAllEntries`
(global),
mirroring the existing `cmd-left` for `CollapseAllEntries`
- Add "Expand All" to the right-click context menu for both root entries
and
subfolder entries
- Update root-entry "Collapse All" to show its keybinding hint via
`.action(Box::new(CollapseAllEntries))`
- **Per-worktree behavior**: each root entry's context menu actions
affect
only that worktree, subfolder "Expand All" expands from that folder down
## Testing
- Added 6 GPUI tests in `project_panel_tests.rs`:
- `test_expand_all_entries`: single worktree
- `test_expand_all_entries_multiple_worktrees`: global expand across
worktrees
- `test_expand_all_entries_via_window_dispatch`: action dispatch path
- `test_per_worktree_expand`: expand only the clicked worktree
- `test_per_worktree_collapse`: collapse only the clicked worktree, keep
root visible
- `test_expand_all_entries_with_auto_fold`: expand with auto_fold_dirs
- Ran `cargo test -p project_panel`: 106 pass
**Manual testing for reviewers:**
1. Open a project with nested directories and open the Project Panel
2. Right-click a root entry, confirm "Expand All" and "Collapse All"
appear
with their keybinding hints (`⌘→` / `⌘←`)
3. Right-click a subfolder, confirm "Expand All" and "Collapse All"
appear
4. Click "Expand All" on a subfolder, confirm only that folder's subtree
expands
5. Click "Collapse All", confirm children collapse but the root stays
visible
6. Open a multi-folder workspace. Right-click the second root and click
"Expand All", confirm only that folder expands
7. Press `cmd-right` (or `ctrl-right`), confirm all worktrees expand
globally
Tested on macOS only. Linux and Windows should behave the same since
there
is no platform-specific code.

Closes AI-367
This PR significantly refactors the queue feature so that we don't rely
on indexes being counted and synced across various state points of the
thread view. Instead, I'm introducing a dedicated message queue module
where we control through a stable queue entry ID all the states of a
given queued message.
Additionally, it's relevant to note that I changed the default behavior
of queued messages on this PR so that they get sent only at the end of
the generation. This makes the out-of-the-box, default behavior of the
feature consistent across the native and external agents, given we never
could pull off the feature with the latter. I personally never liked
that behavior anyway, but I do appreciate how some people do. Because of
that, though, for the Zed agent, a "Steer" toggle button is available
for whenever you'd like to signal that a queued message should be sent
at the turn boundary. This is not a setting, though; decided to go
simpler at this moment. It's something you can choose on a per-message
basis.
Ultimately, I think this implementation makes the overall shape of the
feature much more stable and easier to maintain overtime.
Release Notes:
- Agent: Changed the default behavior of queued messages for the Zed
agent so that they get send at the end of the generation. The ability to
steer them (i.e., send the message at the end of a turn boundary) is
still possible to be toggled.
The recent "pickers with previews" overhaul left the picker
sizing/presentation API spread across several overlapping knobs that
every call site had to set correctly — and many didn't, causing pickers
across the app to render at the wrong width, lose their container, or
stop dismissing. This PR consolidates that surface into a small,
hard-to-misuse API and makes correct sizing the default.
Net effect: a plain `Picker::uniform_list(delegate, …)` now renders
correctly out of the box (standard width, standard max-height, shrinks
to fit, dismisses properly), and the ~35 call sites only specify what
genuinely differs.
## API changes
**Presentation** — three overlapping booleans (`is_modal`, `is_popover`,
`is_resizable`) collapsed into one enum, with resizability living inside
the only variant where it's meaningful:
```rust
enum Presentation {
Modal { resizable: bool }, // own chrome, dismisses on blur, optionally resizable
Popover, // own chrome, dismisses on blur, never resizable
Embedded, // host container owns chrome + dismissal
}
```
- `modal(bool)` is **removed** in favor of explicit, self-documenting
builders:
- *(default)* → `Modal` (resizable iff it has a preview)
- `.popover()` → `Popover` (menu-attached surfaces)
- `.embedded()` → `Embedded` (pickers nested in a larger modal/view)
- Dynamic callers use `.when(cond, Picker::embedded)` (added `impl
FluentBuilder for Picker`).
**Sizing** — preview-vs-not now drives everything; the manual padding
knob is gone:
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| `vertical_padding` field + `no_vertical_padding()` | removed — derived
from whether a preview is visible |
| `height(...)` (ambiguous: fixed vs max) | `max_height(...)` (plain
pickers shrink-to-fit, capped here) |
| `minimum_results_width(...)` | removed — a plain picker's min width
tracks its opening width; preview pickers use standard internal pane
mins |
| default size = 60% viewport | default = `DEFAULT_MODAL_WIDTH` (34rem)
× `DEFAULT_MODAL_MAX_HEIGHT` (24rem, max) |
| resize handles gated on `is_modal` | gated on `is_resizable` (new
`resizable(bool)` builder; auto-`true` for preview pickers) |
Call sites now only override the exceptions: narrow popover selectors
(`initial_width`), the taller outline view (`max_height`), and preview
pickers (constructed via `*_with_preview`).
## Behavior fixes
- **Wrong widths everywhere**: pickers were falling back to
60%-of-viewport because the original migration set
`minimum_results_width` but never `initial_width`. Fixed at the source
via the new defaults.
- **Popovers had no container and wouldn't dismiss**: `is_modal=false`
was suppressing both the elevated background *and* blur-dismiss. Split
out so popovers keep their chrome and dismiss on click-away/escape. This
fixed the agent-panel model/profile selectors, sidebar recent projects,
and the settings theme/font/icon/ollama pickers (which were incorrectly
using `modal(false)`).
- **Sidebar recent projects stretched to full height**: was missing the
shrink-to-fit behavior; now capped and content-sized like other
popovers.
- **Preview crash**: removed an over-strict `debug_assert!` that
panicked when previewing an empty file (`message == None && editor
empty` is valid).
- **Preview-aware default size**: pickers open at standard width with
the preview hidden, and expand to the larger "telescope" size when a
preview is shown. Fixes the text finder rendering super-wide by default,
and makes the file finder expand (rather than cram its results) when you
toggle the preview.

Release Notes:
- N/A
Overhauls Zed's pickers to make them resizable and give them a preview.
Closes#8279
### Background
The most requested Zed feature has the last year has been a [Telescope
like search box](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/8279)
[discussion](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/22581).
To understand why this is so popular we need to understand search can
serve thee goals:
- Navigation: fuzzy search is faster & easier then clicking in a file
tree
- Exploration: example, find a function by a word in its doc comment
- Collecting: example, getting a list of functions to change
The project search which shows results in a multibuffer is the perfect
way to operate on a list of items. Navigation and Exploration need a lot
of context around each result and offer fast navigation between them.
For both of these live searching is also critical.
The `telescope UI` is a picker with a preview to the right or below.
It's offered in various editors and IDE's most famously Neovim (through
the Telescope plugin), IntelliJ (natively), Helix (natively) and of
course VScode (plugins) and it's _many_ forks.
While having a UI like that for text search (our project search) is most
requested the UX pattern is applied widely, from `find_all_references`
to `bookmarks`. It enhances most pickers. Note that we have over 50
different picker modals!
The community has tried to build something like this for Zed:
- https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/44530
- https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/45307
- https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/46478
- https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/43790
These all became huge PR's that we could not merge for various reasons.
This is a really hard feature to integrate in Zed!
This PR got started as https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/46478
and supercedes that.
### Design
- Extend pickers to support an optional preview with minimal changes to
the pickers themselves.
- Make pickers resizable.
- Complement the existing search do not replace it by having both UI's
share the underlying search and allow freely switching between them.
- Allow extending the preview to things other then files.
- Maintain a clean design on all the pickers.
### Heigh level Implementation overview
- Adds an `Option<Preview>` to `Picker`
- Gives `PickerDelegate` a method to communicate a preview to the Picker
- Overhaul the way pickers are drawn to allow for resizing them.
Implemented on the `Shape` and `SizeBouds` structs.
- Adds a high level way to draw the `footer` and `editor` so we do not
need to change much to the pickers.
- Adds a new text finder Picker
- Adds a way to take a running search from project search and hand it to
the text finder Picker and the other way round
- Give the file finder a preview
### Next steps
A more detailed list and how to help out will be added to the tracking
issue for [Pickes with
previews](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/56037)
- Add more previews to more pickers!
- Enable selectioning multiple items in pickers and performing actions
on those
- Open selected items in a multibuffer
- Add a way to restore the last picker
- Make popovers (picker attached to some menu) resizable as well

This is a narrower alternative to #54816, scoped to search only the
currently-loaded thread, excluding tool output or thinking blocks (happy
to follow up on those, see next). It uses a custom bar confined to
`agent_ui` rather than `BufferSearchBar` + `SearchableItem`, avoiding
the cross-crate plumbing that #54816 reached. Open as draft pending
direction from @benbrandt on what scope/approach would be acceptable for
in-thread search.

## What this PR does
Adds a search bar to the agent panel, triggered by Ctrl+F (Cmd+F on
macOS), that lets users grep the currently-loaded thread without leaving
the agent panel; not cross-thread or cross-agent.
- Searches visible content only: user messages, assistant message
chunks, and tool-call labels. Thought blocks and rendered tool-call
content (collapsed by default) are intentionally skipped so that:
1. The visible match count matches what the user sees.
2. The search experience is consistent between tool output blocks in the
current Zed session, ans tool output blocks from past sessions, which
are not rendered - see issue #57230
- Highlights matches inline via `Markdown::set_search_highlights` for
markdown-rendered content and
`Editor::highlight_background(HighlightKey::BufferSearchHighlights, …)`
for past user messages (rendered through `MessageEditor`'s inner
`Editor`, not through markdown).
- Next/prev navigation, case/whole-word/regex toggles (same UI as
`BufferSearchBar`).
- Returns focus to the message editor on dismiss so the user can keep
typing immediately.

### Seven logical commits
1. **`agent_ui: Add in-thread search bar`** — initial implementation:
bar UI, keymap bindings under `AcpThreadSearchBar` context, markdown
highlight plumbing, focus-restore on dismiss.
2. **`agent_ui: Add unit tests for in-thread search`** — coverage of the
matcher across entry kinds and the dismiss-clears-highlights path.
3. **`agent_ui: Limit search to visible tool-call text`** — UX fixes
from manual testing: `track_focus` so `AcpThreadSearchBar` context lands
in the editor's dispatch chain; red border on zero-match query; skip
tool-call content (only search labels).
4. **`agent_ui: Fix Esc dispatch, smart toggle, error message, skip
Thought blocks`** — round 2 of UX fixes: contribute `AcpThreadSearchBar`
context from `ThreadView` when bar is visible, smart Ctrl/Cmd+F
outside-the-bar focuses instead of closing, regex error message row,
skip `AssistantMessageChunk::Thought`.
5. **`agent_ui: Polish thread search bar — Esc routing, user-message
highlights, action forwarding`** — `search::*` action forwarders on
`ThreadView`; `cx.defer` around the activate callback (fixes a
double-borrow panic); `editor::actions::Cancel` interception so Esc
dismisses our bar instead of escaping to the workspace's
`BufferSearchBar`; user-message highlights via the inner `Editor`; muted
zero-match counter; three new gpui regression tests.
6. **agent_ui: Fix Shift+Enter shadowing in thread search bar`** —
capture-phase intercept of `editor::Newline*` on the bar's `bar_row`
element so a base keymap binding `shift-enter` at the `Editor` context
(e.g. JetBrains → `editor::NewlineBelow`) can't shadow the bar's
`agent::SelectPreviousThreadMatch`. Adds a regression test that loads
`default-linux.json` + `linux/jetbrains.json` and asserts `shift-enter`
navigates instead of inserting a newline.
7. `agent_ui: Debounce thread search, refresh on thread changes,
highlight user messages`** — last round before maintainer review: 150 ms
debounce on the match rescan; subscribe to `AcpThread` updates so
results/highlights/counter follow a streaming conversation live;
navigate the list to the entry owning the active match; `.ok()` instead
of `let _ =`; assorted cleanups; two new regression tests
(`test_thread_search_refreshes_on_new_thread_entry`,
`test_thread_search_scrolls_to_later_user_message_match`).
</details>
8 gpui tests cover the load-bearing logic (`cargo test -p agent_ui --lib
-- thread_search`). All pass.
## Manual testing
Verified on Linux against `upstream/main` `13e7c11768` (full `release`
profile, with LTO and `codegen-units=1` built and tested at that
commit). Branch since merged with `upstream/main` `a6780a5`. Of the 100
intervening upstream commits, several touch files in this diff; one
produced a real conflict in `crates/agent_ui/src/conversation_view.rs`
(`gpui::{...}` import block — both sides added new, non-overlapping
symbols; resolved by union).
- Bar opens / dismisses via Ctrl+F and Esc
- Next/prev navigation via Enter / Shift+Enter / F3 / Shift+F3 / chevron
buttons
- Case / whole-word / regex toggles via buttons and via Alt+C / Alt+W /
Alt+R (Linux)
- Highlights inside past user messages render correctly on the
`MessageEditor`'s inner `Editor`
- query text turns red on no-match; bad regex shows error message;
zero-match counter stays muted (not red)
- `search::*` actions fire from outside the bar (focus in message
editor) via the `ThreadView`-level forwarders
- Workspace pane `BufferSearchBar` is unaffected; the two bars hold
independent state
- Feature looks great in light mode and dark mode, and with various
themes
- Navigating to a match in a past user message scrolls that message into
view (its top to the viewport top)
- Results update live as the agent streams new messages while the bar is
open (debounced ~150 ms, same for typing)

<details><summary>Full manual test plan</summary>
### Setup (preconditions for every test below unless otherwise noted)
1. Launch the dev binary: `./target/release-fast/zed --user-data-dir
~/.local/share/zed-dev-feat`
2. Open the agent panel, start a thread, send 2–3 prompts so the thread
contains:
- At least one user prompt with a distinctive substring (e.g.
`watermelon`)
- At least one assistant message with a distinctive substring
- At least one tool call with a known label substring
- At least one collapsed Thinking block
3. In parallel: have at least one code editor open in a workspace pane
(some tests cross-check that path).
### Core matching
#### T-001 — Ctrl+F opens the bar with focus in query
**Status:** ✅ PASS 2026-05-15 15:30
**Repro:** With focus in the agent panel's message editor, press Ctrl+F
(Linux) / Cmd+F (macOS). The search bar appears at the top of the thread
view and the query input is focused.
#### T-002a — Active match visually distinct from inactive matches
**Status:** ✅ PASS 2026-05-15 15:30
**Repro:** Type a query that produces ≥3 matches. The current ("active")
match must be visually different from the others — different highlight
color, not just position. If they look identical, this may be a theme
issue (`search_active_match_background` vs `search_match_background` too
close on the entry's background); note the theme.
#### T-002b — User-prompt text gets inline highlight, not just match
count
**Status:** ✅ PASS 2026-05-15 17:15 (fix shipped 2026-05-15 16:15;
regression-guarded by
`test_thread_search_highlights_user_message_editor`)
**Repro:** Send a user prompt containing a distinctive substring. Then
search that substring. The user prompt text **must** show yellow
highlight, not just be counted. The bar's matcher reads from
`message.content.markdown()` but the on-screen render goes through a
`MessageEditor`; the current code only highlights via
`Markdown::set_search_highlights`, which misses the editor.
**Notes:** Fix routes user-message matches through
`Editor::highlight_background(HighlightKey::BufferSearchHighlights, …)`
— the same path `Editor`'s own `SearchableItem` impl uses.
`collect_markdowns` no longer pulls the user message's markdown
(avoiding double-counting). The bar now maintains separate
`highlighted_markdowns` and `highlighted_editors` lists for clean-up.
Match-target enum (`MatchTarget::Markdown` vs `MatchTarget::Editor`)
tags each match so active-vs-inactive re-paint can dispatch correctly.
Pending runtime verification on next `release-fast` build.
#### T-003 — Enter / Shift+Enter in bar navigates matches
**Status:** ✅ PASS 2026-05-25 14:00 (verified on `release` build)
**Repro:** With focus in the query, type a query with ≥3 matches. Press
Enter → counter `1/N → 2/N → 3/N`. Press Shift+Enter → reverses (and no
`\n`s are output in the search box). F3 / Shift+F3 same.
### Option toggles
#### T-004 — Alt+C toggles case sensitivity from inside bar
**Status:** ✅ PASS 2026-05-15 07:50
**Repro:** With focus in query, press Alt+C. `Aa` button toggles state;
results re-filter.
#### T-005 — Alt+W toggles whole-word from inside bar
**Status:** ✅ PASS 2026-05-15 15:30
**Repro:** Same as T-004, with Alt+W toggling `wd` button.
#### T-006 — Alt+R toggles regex from inside bar (Linux)
**Status:** ✅ PASS 2026-05-15 15:30 (fix shipped 2026-05-15 06:35)
**Repro:** Press Alt+R. `.*` button toggles.
**Notes:** macOS keymap (`alt-cmd-x`) left unchanged in this session —
it matches the wider macOS Zed convention.
#### T-006a — Tooltips on toggle buttons show their hotkey
**Status:** ✅ PASS 2026-05-15 15:30
**Repro:** Hover each toggle button (`Aa`, `wd`, `.*`). Tooltip shows
action name AND keybinding (e.g. "Toggle Case Sensitive · Alt+C").
### Error / empty states
#### T-007 — Empty matches: no red border on bar input
**Status:** ✅ PASS 2026-05-15 15:30
**Repro:** Type `zzzzzzz`. Query text turns red. Counter shows `0/0`.
Bar input border stays **neutral**, no red box.
#### T-008 — Bad-regex error message
**Status:** ✅ PASS 2026-05-15 15:30 (error renders aligned with the
input)
**Repro:** Switch to regex mode, type `[`. Error message appears below
bar, aligned with the input.
#### T-019 — Zero-match counter not colored red
**Status:** ✅ PASS 2026-05-15 15:30 (fix shipped 2026-05-15 06:30)
**Repro:** Type a query with no matches. The counter (`0/0`) stays
muted, **not** red. MPS-parity.
### Dismissal & re-entry
#### T-009 — Esc doesn't interrupt agent generation
**Status:** ✅ PASS 2026-05-15 15:30
**Repro:** Start a long prompt; while the agent is generating, open the
search bar and press Esc. Bar closes, generation continues.
#### T-010 — Close-X button position
**Status:** ✅ PASS 2026-05-15 15:30
**Repro:** Look at the bar. Close (X) button is on the right side, after
the nav arrows (`<` `>` `1/N` `X`). NOT free-floating left of the input.
#### T-011 — Ctrl+F in bar selects all query text
**Status:** ✅ PASS 2026-05-15 15:30
**Repro:** With bar open and query containing text, press Ctrl+F. All
query text becomes selected (next keystroke replaces).
#### T-012 — Ctrl+F outside the bar (bar already open) does not crash
**Status:** ✅ PASS 2026-05-15 15:30 (fix shipped 2026-05-15 06:30;
regression-guarded by
`test_thread_search_select_next_from_thread_view_update_does_not_panic`)
**Repro:** Bar visible, focus in the message editor (not the bar). Press
Ctrl+F. Bar gets re-focused, query text is selected. **Must not crash.**
**Notes:** Original crash also reproducible from Enter / Shift+Enter
inside the bar after a search had matches. Fix wraps the
`on_activate_match` callback's `view.update` in `cx.defer`.
#### T-021 — Esc dismisses agent bar (not the unrelated workspace pane's
BufferSearchBar)
**Status:** ✅ PASS 2026-05-15 15:30 (fix shipped 2026-05-15 14:40;
regression-guarded by `test_thread_search_editor_cancel_dismisses_bar`)
**Repro:** Open a file in a workspace pane editor (e.g.
`settings.json`). Open BufferSearchBar there. Switch focus to the agent
panel, open agent search bar, type a query. Press Esc. **The agent bar
must dismiss; the workspace pane's BufferSearchBar must remain.**
**Notes:** Root cause: `Editor::cancel` in single-line mode calls
`cx.propagate()`. The propagated `editor::actions::Cancel` walked past
our bar all the way to `Workspace`, where `BufferSearchBar::register`
had registered a workspace-wide handler that dismissed the active pane's
bar. Fix: `ThreadView` now catches `editor::actions::Cancel` when the
bar is visible.
### Action routing while bar is open, focus is in the message editor
#### T-013 — F3 / Shift+F3 from outside the bar
**Status:** ✅ PASS 2026-05-15 15:30 (Enter from outside is *expected*
not to work — message editor's `enter` binding outranks. F3 is the
canonical out-of-bar nav key.)
**Repro:** Bar open with matches, focus in message editor. Press F3 →
next match. Shift+F3 → previous.
#### T-014 — Alt+C / Alt+W / Alt+R from outside the bar
**Status:** ✅ PASS 2026-05-15 15:30 (fix shipped 2026-05-15 02:30;
`ThreadView` forwarders for `search::ToggleCaseSensitive`,
`ToggleWholeWord`, `ToggleRegex`, `FocusSearch`)
**Repro:** Bar visible, focus in message editor. Alt+C/W/R toggles the
bar's options and re-runs search.
### Nav buttons
#### T-022 — `<` / `>` chevron buttons in the bar advance match
**Status:** ✅ PASS 2026-05-15 15:30
**Repro:** With ≥2 matches, click `<` → previous. Click `>` → next.
Wraps at ends.
### Coexistence with workspace-pane buffer search
#### T-015 — Ctrl+F in a workspace-pane editor still opens
`BufferSearchBar` (no agent-panel takeover)
**Status:** ✅ PASS 2026-05-15 15:30
**Repro:** Focus a code editor in a workspace pane, press Ctrl+F. The
pane's `BufferSearchBar` opens as before; agent panel's bar does NOT
open.
#### T-016 — Independent bars: agent vs workspace pane
**Status:** ✅ PASS 2026-05-15 15:30
**Repro:** Have both bars open simultaneously. They hold independent
state (different queries, different toggles, independent dismissal).
### Tool-call content (auto-expand on match)
#### T-017 — Auto-expand collapsed tool calls on match
**Status:** ⏸️ BLOCKED (not implemented; out of scope for current
session)
**Repro:** Have a tool call whose collapsed content contains a unique
substring. Search that substring. The tool call auto-expands so the
match is visible. After dismissal, the tool call collapses again unless
the user manually expanded it before.
#### T-018 — Auto-expand collapsed Thinking blocks on match
**Status:** ⏸️ BLOCKED (not implemented; out of scope for current
session)
**Repro:** Same shape as T-017 for a collapsed Thinking block.
#### T-019 — Streaming results automatically highlighted / live thread
search
**Status:** ✅ PASS 2026-06-08
**Repro:** Send prompt "Write a 5-paragraph story about a researcher who
hated noise. The last paragraph should be a one-sentence: "So she moved
to <name of the quietest continent on Earth>" (replace that <name> with
the actual name)", then search for `Antarctica`.
</details>
## Known limitations
1. (pre-existing, not from this PR): search highlights inside markdown
table cells can be visually offset by a few characters in columns
starting with the second. The bug lives in `crates/markdown`'s render
layer - see issue #57229
2. (excluded vs. #54816 to keep the scope tight): raw tool-call
input/output JSON and terminal scrollback are not indexed.
3. Navigating to a search hit located **below the fold of a very long
user message** highlights the match but only scrolls the message's top
into view, so the hit can stay off-screen until you scroll manually.
Past user messages render through an `AutoHeight` `Editor` inside a
virtualized `List`, which can't reliably drive intra-entry autoscroll
the way markdown content does. User messages are usually shorter than a
viewport, so this is left unaddressed.
4. Plain-text search across triple-backtick fences does not match (the
fence characters live in the markdown source; regex search with explicit
fence handling does).
5. The literal text "Thinking" rendered as the thought-disclosure header
is not searchable (rendered chrome, not markdown source).
Self-Review Checklist:
- [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability
- No new `unsafe` introduced; no network, file-system, or process APIs
touched; only added dep is `search` (promoted from dev-dep to runtime),
already used by this crate's tests; `MessageEditor::editor()` accessor
widening is `pub(crate)` (in-crate only). Assessment: no new attack
surface.
- [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments
- [x] The content is consistent with the [UI/UX
checklist](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist)
— partially; see "What I did NOT verify" above
- [ ] I did not verify **macOS and Windows**. Keymap entries exist for
all three platforms (`AcpThreadSearchBar` context bindings) but I only
verified Linux at runtime.
- [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior
- [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable:
regexp-searching for "t.e" in a thread almost at the context limit (919k
tokens) felt instant, and navigation among the 2100+ results occurred at
the keyboard autorepeat rate.
- [ ] Haven't measured against the 8ms / 120fps frame budget.

Fix `cmd-c` not copying text inside macOS notebook cell editors.
Previously, the macOS notebook keymap bound `cmd-c` to
`notebook::InterruptKernel` in notebook contexts, including
`NotebookEditor > Editor`. This shadowed the normal editor copy shortcut
while editing notebook cells.
## Solution
Move the macOS notebook interrupt shortcut from `cmd-c` to `ctrl-c`.
This keeps the notebook interrupt shortcut available while allowing the
normal editor keybindings to handle:
- `cmd-c` for copy
- `cmd-x` for cut
- `cmd-v` for paste
inside notebook cell editors.
- This change is macOS-specific.

Resolves https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/55617
This diff makes the standard Reveal in Finder/File Manager shortcut work
when an image tab is focused. Image tabs already expose the reveal
action from the tab context menu, but the keyboard shortcut was only
bound in the `Editor` context, so pressing `cmd-k r` on macOS or `ctrl-k
r` on Linux/Windows did nothing while focus was in the image viewer.
With this change, `ImageView` handles the existing
`editor::RevealInFileManager` action, and the default keymaps bind the
same reveal shortcut in the `ImageViewer` context. This keeps image tabs
consistent with text editor tabs while reusing the same project path
reveal path used elsewhere.
Release Notes:
- Fixed Reveal in Finder/File Manager shortcuts not working when an
image tab is focused.

Moves agent skills management out of the agent panel and into the
settings UI. The skill creator (previously its own crate) now lives in
`settings_ui` as a settings page, alongside the skills setup page. The

hosting skill management directly.

## Context
When the "Switch branch" picker is opened from the git commit modal and
the user presses Enter, a `\n` character was inserted into the input
instead of confirming the branch selection.
The `"GitCommit > Editor"` keymap context bound `enter` to
`editor::Newline`. This context matches *any* `Editor` descended from
`GitCommit` in the element tree, including the single-line search editor
inside the branch picker popover. Because a context-path binding is more
specific than the global `enter: menu::Confirm` binding, it took
precedence and the picker never received the confirm action.
The commit message editor uses `EditorMode::AutoHeight` (reported in key
context as `mode == auto_height`); the picker's search editor uses
`EditorMode::SingleLine`. Narrowing the context to `"GitCommit > Editor
&& mode == auto_height"` restricts the `editor::Newline` binding to the
commit message editor only. Single-line editors inside the same modal
now fall through to the global `enter: menu::Confirm`, which correctly
confirms the selection.
Closes#58022
## How to Review
Three identical one-line changes, one per platform keymap
(`default-linux.json`, `default-macos.json`, `default-windows.json`):
- `"GitCommit > Editor"` → `"GitCommit > Editor && mode == auto_height"`

Adds a `file_finder::OpenWithoutDismiss` action that opens the selected
file without closing the finder, so multiple files can be opened in one
session. Pressing right arrow when the cursor is at the end of the
search query triggers it — matching VS Code and Sublime Text behaviour.
A "Keep Open" button in the footer provides mouse access and serves as a
discoverability hint.
Each opened file becomes the active tab without stealing keyboard focus
from the finder, preserving the search state between opens. Refactors
the existing `confirm` implementation into a shared `open_selected_file`
helper parameterised by `dismiss_after_open` to eliminate duplicated
file-opening logic.
## What's different from PR #38914
- Uses `right` arrow at `end_of_input` context instead of
`cmd-shift-enter` (better ergonomics, matches VS Code/Sublime — the
`end_of_input` context that was added after that PR makes this possible)
- Each opened file is activated as the current tab (`activate: true`,
`focus_item: false`), giving visual feedback on every open without
stealing focus from the modal
- Cleaner refactor: single `open_selected_file` helper instead of
duplicated logic
Release Notes:
- Added ability to open files from the file finder without dismissing
it, using right arrow at end of input or the "Keep Open" footer button

Replaces the legacy Rules creation UI with a focused "New Skill"
creation window when the `SkillsFeatureFlag` is on.
The new `skills_library` crate provides a single-skill form with:
- Name, Description, and Body fields (placeholders double as labels)
- Live validation matching the SKILL.md spec (name: 1–64 lowercase +
digits + hyphens, no leading/trailing hyphen; description: non-empty,
≤1024 chars)
- A scope dropdown listing every local worktree in the originating
workspace plus "Global"
- An Optional Parameters card with the `disable-model-invocation`
checkbox
- Save writes `<scope>/.agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` via
`serde_yaml_ng` (YAML-safe escaping), refuses to overwrite existing
skills, shows a success toast in the originating workspace, then closes
the window
The "Rules" entry in the agent panel triple-dot menu is renamed to
"Skills" when the flag is on. The existing `cmd-alt-l` keyboard shortcut
still works: `AgentPanel::deploy_rules_library` reroutes to
`deploy_skills_library` when the flag is on, so any persisted keymaps
and the menu's automatic shortcut lookup keep functioning without
changes to the default keymap files.
The old `rules_library` crate is intentionally left in place for this PR
— once the flag rolls out and the few remaining `OpenRulesLibrary {
prompt_to_select }` call sites (in thread_view link handlers and
@-mention crease) are migrated to an "open existing skill" flow, a
follow-up can delete the crate entirely.
15 unit tests cover the validation rules, frontmatter formatting
(including YAML-special-character round-tripping), and disk write
behavior (creates directory, refuses overwrite).
Closes AI-247
Release Notes:
- Added a new Skills creation UI that replaces the old Rules library
when the Skills feature flag is enabled.

Follow-up to https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/56500. Was
missing this ability very much :)
Release Notes:
- Git Panel: Added the ability to switch between the changes and history
tabs with the keyboard.
Follows similar approach as
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/55927
Adds a force-delete path to the worktree picker. Normal delete now
prompts when Git reports modified or untracked files, and
Alt/Option-delete can force delete directly.
Release Notes:
- Added support for force deleting worktrees that contain modified or
untracked files.
Allow confirming a terminal entry to activate it, track terminal
access for ordering, and close selected terminals via the archive
action.

Git's `-d` flag deletes a branch only if it's fully merged into its
upstream or HEAD - this is what we were using before, which caused the
"not fully merged" error. The `-D` flag force deletes a branch even with
unmerged changes (equivalent to `--delete --force`).
### Before
Deleting an unmerged branch failed with a "not fully merged" error
toast.
### After
- Deleting an unmerged branch prompts for confirmation to force delete
- Delete button tooltip shows "Hold alt to force delete" hint
- Holding **alt** turns the delete icon red and tooltip changes to
"Force Delete Branch"
- Force delete keybinding: `cmd-alt-shift-backspace`
Release Notes:
- Added confirmation prompt when deleting unmerged git branches, with
option to force delete.
- Added alt+click on delete button to force delete a branch immediately.
#53609 introduced a regression where Git Graph keybindings could take
precedence over the search bar. As a result, typing characters like `j`
or `k` in the search field could move the table selection instead of
updating the search query.
This PR fixes that regression by scoping Vim table navigation bindings
away from the search bar. It also adds dedicated `tab` and `shift-tab`
handling for Git Graph focus traversal, with the search bar and graph
table participating as separate tab groups.

Using the existing commit editor in the Git Panel to type out longer
commit messages has been somewhat hard. I believe this happens because
it takes a very small portion of the UI which, unfortunately, when `git:
expand commit editor` is used, a modal ends up taking the center of the
editor, making it possible to have the commit editor open on the side,
while the `git: diff` view is open.
As such, this Pull Request introduces a new
`git::ToggleFillCommitEditor` action that allows users to update the
commit editor's height so as to take as much vertical space as possible,
hiding the entries status and simply rendering the Git Panel's footer.
This makes it easier to be able to write longer commit messages while
still having the `git: branch diff` on the side, something that's very
complicated with the default number of lines in the commit editor and
impossible using the `CommitModal`.

This changes the action for archiving threads in the main sidebar view
from `RemoveSelectedThread` to `ArchiveSelectedThread`. It has the same
key binding as before: `shift-backspace`. I also added `ctrl-backspace`
as a binding for deleting archived threads in the history view.
Release Notes:
- N/A
## Context
`ctrl-n` / `cmd-n` doesn't work on the Welcome tab. The global binding
lives under `Workspace && !Terminal` (macOS) and similar contexts that
don't include Welcome. The fix just adds the same binding to the Welcome
context block on all three platforms — same approach the font-size and
recent-project shortcuts already use there.
Closes#52426

## How to review
One line added per platform keymap file. Check that `ctrl-n` / `cmd-n`
maps to `workspace::NewFile` in the `Welcome` block of:
- `assets/keymaps/default-macos.json`
- `assets/keymaps/default-linux.json`
- `assets/keymaps/default-windows.json`

This PR makes Zed only have one worktree picker, as opposed to a flavor
of it in the title bar and another in the agent panel. It then moves it
to the title bar, making it always present, so that its trigger is
separate from the branch picker (which now contains only two views:
branches and stashes). For the worktree picker, I'm mostly favoring the
behavior we've introduced in the agent-panel-flavored version.
It also updates the title bar settings migration to use the JSON
`migrate_settings` helper instead of a shallow Tree-sitter rewrite, so
old `show_branch_icon = true` values are promoted to
`show_branch_status_icon = true` across root, platform, release-channel,
and profile settings scopes.
- [x] Move worktree creation logic to the `git_ui` crate to make this
more generic and less agent-specific
- [x] Double-check the remote use case and ensure nothing broke there
- [x] Improve the UX for the detached HEAD state; better invite people
to create a branch
- [x] Migrate `show_branch_icon = true` to `show_branch_status_icon =
true` across nested settings scopes
Suggested .rules additions
When migrating renamed settings keys that can appear in platform
overrides, release-channel overrides, or profiles, prefer the JSON
`migrations::migrate_settings` helper over shallow Tree-sitter key
rewrites unless tests explicitly cover every nested scope that can
contain the key.
Release Notes:
- Improved migration of the title bar branch status icon setting.

This renames the Archive view to Thread History in all user-facing
surfaces. The concept of archiving a thread (the verb/state) remains
unchanged — only the view that lists all threads is renamed, since it
shows both active and archived entries.
## Changes
- Rename `ViewAllThreads` action → `ToggleThreadHistory`
- Context-sensitive tooltip: "Show Thread History" / "Hide Thread
History"
- Update action doc comment to reference "history" instead of "archive
view"
- Telemetry event: `Thread History Viewed`
- `SerializedSidebarView::Archive` → `History` (with `#[serde(alias =
"Archive")]` for backward compat)
- Add a Lucide-based clock icon adapted to 16×16 / 1.2px stroke
- Switch the history toggle button to use the new clock icon
- Update all three platform keymaps
cc @danilo-leal
Release Notes:
- Renamed the threads Archive view to Thread History and updated its
icon to a clock.

Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/53262
- Remove the ability to pick a branch from the agent panel; delegate
this to the title bar picker
- Make the worktree creation earger, just as you selected whether you
want to create it from main or current branch
- Remove flicker when creating a new worktree and switching to a
previously existing one
- Improve some UI stuff: how we display that a worktree is
creating/loading, the branch and worktree icons, etc.
- Fixed a bug where worktrees in a detached HEAD state wouldn't show up
in the worktree pickers
A big part of the diff of this PR is the removal of everything involved
with the `StartThreadIn` enum/the set up involved in only creating the
worktree by the time of the first prompt send.
Release Notes:
- Agent: Improved and simplified the UX of creating threads in Git
worktrees.
- Git: Fixed a bug where worktrees in a detached HEAD state wouldn't
show up in the worktree picker.
