Closes#21054
## Summary
• make the JetBrains base keymap use subword motions for
`Alt+Left/Right` and `Shift+Alt+Left/Right` in editors
• keep Zed's default keymaps and the underlying `word`/`subword`
primitives unchanged
• document word vs. subword navigation in the key bindings docs
• document the JetBrains default in the IntelliJ, WebStorm, PyCharm, and
RustRover migration guides
## Testing
• `./script/check-keymaps`
• `cargo fmt --all -- --check`
• `./script/clippy -p editor`
• `cd docs && pnpm dlx prettier@3.5.0 src/key-bindings.md
src/migrate/intellij.md src/migrate/webstorm.md src/migrate/pycharm.md
src/migrate/rustrover.md --check`
Related to #12816 and #34090, but does not actually address the
configurable word separators or broader subword semantics. Intentionally
scoped to JetBrains keymap defaults & docs.
Release Notes:
- Improved JetBrains keymap behavior by adding CamelHump-style subword
navigation in editors.

Currently, Zed's "VSCode" keymap has certain discrepancies that are not
changed for compatibility reasons, e.g. opening inline assistant is
different in each editor.
To simplify the transition, extract VSCode bindings its own keymap so in
the future it's simpler to accept changes to each keymap separately.
Caveat: people who had ever changed the keymap, will have VSCode keymap
in their settings which will change their bindings slightly after this
commit is released.
I had to introduce more logic to `null` handling as had to somehow
disable `ctrl-enter` on mac from spawning the inline assistant block for
VSCode keymap (it's cmd-i there).
Release Notes:
- Split VSCode and Zed keymap files

## Summary
Reviewed and updated all 18 files in `docs/src/ai/` to meet Zed's brand
voice standards. Each file was scored against the 8-criterion rubric and
rewritten where needed to achieve 4+ on all criteria.
**Changes include:**
- Remove "Learn how to/about" patterns (8 instances)
- Replace vague phrases ("various types of tasks", "and more") with
specific examples
- Remove taboo words ("seamless", "naturally extends")
- Remove emotional language ("We're excited/thrilled/happy")
- Remove marketing patterns ("Stay tuned!", exclamation points)
- Remove unverifiable claims ("world's fastest")
- Replace hedging with direct statements
- Remove promotional emphasis (`_free_`, `**_for free_**`)
- Fix typo in external-agents.md ("servers" → "serves")
- Fix broken link syntax for Ollama Turbo
## Test plan
- [x] `mdbook build` succeeds
- [x] Grep for remaining taboo phrases (only one "seamless" in MCP
official quote, preserved intentionally)
- [x] All facts preserved (URLs, keybindings, settings keys, prices,
model names)

Closes#41219
Release Notes:
- Updated docs to use `==` instead of `=` in keymap context.
Hopefully I'm not mistaken here, but I think the docs have a bug in them
Release Notes:
- Adds footer to the command palette with buttons to add or change the
selected actions keybinding. Both open the keymap editor though the add
button takes you directly to the modal for recording a new keybind.

This PR renames the following actions to make it easier and prioritize
the UI version of interacting with them:
| Before | After |
|--------|--------|
| `OpenSettingsEditor` | `OpenSettings` |
| `OpenSettings` | `OpenSettingsFile` |
| `OpenKeymapEditor` | `OpenKeymap` |
| `OpenKeymap` | `OpenKeymapFile` |
Release Notes:
- Rename actions to open settings (UI/window and JSON file) as well as
to open the keymap (editor tab and JSON file).
Because there is literally no mention of it in the docs
Release Notes:
- N/A

Now ! means "no ancestors matches this", and > means "any descendent"
not "any child".
Updates #34570
Co-authored-by: Ben Kunkle <ben@zed.dev>
Release Notes:
- *Breaking change*. The context predicates in the keymap file now
handle ! and > differently. Before this change ! meant "this node does
not match", now it means "none of these nodes match". Before this change
> meant "child of", now it means "descendent of". We do not expect these
changes to break many keymaps, but they may cause subtle changes for
complex context queries.

Addresses #10972Closes#24950Closes#24499
Adds _key_en_ to _Keystroke_ that is derived from key's scan code. This
is more lightweight approach than #32529
Currently has been tested on x11 and windows. Mac code hasn't been
implemented yet.
Release Notes:
- linux: When typing non-ASCII keys on Linux we will now also match
keybindings against the QWERTY-equivalent layout. This should allow most
of Zed's builtin shortcuts to work out of the box on most keyboard
layouts. **Breaking change**: If you had been using `keysym` names in
your keyboard shortcut file (`ctrl-cyrillic_yeru`, etc.) you should now
use the QWERTY-equivalent characters instead.

Closes #ISSUE
Release Notes:
- Breaking change: The actions used while developing Zed have been
renamed from `debug:` to `dev:` to avoid confusion with the new debugger
feature:
- - `dev::OpenDebugAdapterLogs`
- - `dev::OpenSyntaxTreeView`
- - `dev::OpenThemePreview`
- - `dev::OpenLanguageServerLogs`
- - `dev::OpenKeyContextView`
- [x] snake case keymap properties

### future:
- keymap notification doesn't show up on start up, only on keymap save.
this is existing bug in zed, will be addressed in seperate PR.
Release Notes:
- Added a notification for deprecated settings and keymaps, allowing you
to migrate them with a single click. A backup of your existing keymap
and settings will be created in your home directory.
- Modified some keymap actions and settings for consistency.

When revamping international keyboard shortcuts I wanted to make the
default to use key equivalents; in hindsight, this is not what people
expect.
Release Notes:
- (Breaking) In keymap.json `"use_layout_keys": true` is now the
default. If you want to opt-out of this behaviour, set
`"use_key_equivalents": true` to have keys mapped for your keyboard. See
[documentation](https://zed.dev/docs/key-bindings#non-qwerty-keyboards)

Closes #16343Closes#10972
Release Notes:
- (breaking change) On macOS when using a keyboard that supports an
extended Latin character set (e.g. French, German, ...) keyboard
shortcuts are automatically updated so that they can be typed without
`option`. This fixes several long-standing problems where some keyboards
could not type some shortcuts.
- This mapping works the same way as
[macOS](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/keyboardshortcut(_:modifiers:localization:)).
For example on a German keyboard shortcuts like `cmd->` become `cmd-:`,
`cmd-[` and `cmd-]` become `cmd-ö` and `cmd-ä`. This mapping happens at
the time keyboard layout files are read so the keybindings are visible
in the command palette. To opt out of this behavior for your custom
keyboard shortcuts, set `"use_layout_keys": true` in your binding
section. For the mappings used for each layout [see
here](a890df1863/crates/settings/src/key_equivalents.rs (L7)).

Release Notes:
- Improved `workspace::SendKeystrokes` to support re-binding keys. For
example you can now do: `"x": ["workspace::SendKeystrokes", "\" _ x"]`
in vim mode to ensure that `x` does not clobber your clipboard.
- Improved key binding documentation
Adds support for [Goto
Declaration](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/#textDocument_declaration)
LSP command.
I am particularly interested in [this for Rust
projects](https://rust-analyzer.github.io/manual.html#go-to-declaration),
to be able to navigate to the place where a trait method is declared,
coming from a trait method implementation.
I noticed this was something I could do in VSCode before, but was
somehow missing is Zed. Thanks to the already existing infrastructure
for Goto Definition, I just followed and copy-paste-adapted it for Goto
Declaration.
As a bonus, I added `ctrl-F12` and `alt-ctrl-F12` as default macOS
keybindings for `GoToDeclaration` and `GoToDeclarationSplit`,
respectively. They are not keybindings from another editor, but I
figured they made sense to be grouped along with the other *F12
commands.
### Release Notes:
- Added "Go to declaration" editor action.
- vim: Breaking change to keybindings after introduction of the `Go to
declaration` editor action. The new keybindings are the following (and
can be found [here](https://zed.dev/docs/vim), alongside the other key
bindings):
- `g d` - Go to definition
- `g D` - Go to declaration
- `g y` - Go to type definition
- `g I` - Go to implementation

It is sometimes desirable to allow modifers to serve as keys themselves
for the purposes of keybinds. For example, the popular keybind in
jetbrains IDEs `shift shift` which opens the file finder.
This change treats modifers in the keymaps as keys themselves if they
are not accompanied by a key they are modifying.
Further this change wires up they key dispatcher to treat modifer change
events as key presses which are considered for matching against
keybinds.
Release Notes:
- Fixes#6460

- Docs: Tasks: Explicitly note the location of `tasks.json` files.
- Docs: Keybindings: Add link to task docs showing example of binding to
a specific task.
Release Notes:
- N/A
`base_keymap` is a property of `settings.json`, not `keymap.json`. If
you run "toggle base keymap selector" and select a particular editor,
you will notice that it places the `base_keymap` property in
`settings.json`.
Release Notes:
- N/A
