## Objective
`file_scan_exclusions` replaces the defaults instead of adding to them,
so excluding one extra directory means restating all eleven default
globs and never picking up defaults added in later Zed releases.
## Solution
`file_scan_exclusions` now accepts the `"..."` entry, which expands to
the value it overrides, so `["**/node_modules", "..."]` adds to the
inherited globs instead of replacing them. Entries listed by name keep
their position, and leaving `"..."` out still replaces the list
outright, so existing settings behave exactly as they do today.
## Testing
- Four unit tests in `crates/settings_content/src/project.rs` cover
splicing versus replacing, accumulation across successive layers, and
edge cases: a repeated `"..."`, an empty list clearing the value, and a
bare `["..."]` leaving it unchanged.
- To check by hand: set `"file_scan_exclusions": ["**/node_modules",
"..."]` in user settings and confirm `node_modules` disappears from the
project panel and file finder while `.git` and `.DS_Store` stay
excluded. Remove `"..."` and confirm only `node_modules` is excluded.
Repeat in a project's `.zed/settings.json` to confirm it splices the
resolved user settings rather than the defaults.
- Tested on macOS. This is platform-independent settings-merge logic
with no OS-specific code paths, so I did not test Linux or Windows.

# Objective
Right now Zed can go full screen but it does not allow you to fix the
hole screen,
by that I mean that Zed can go behind the notch so you don't have extra
useless room left.
## Solution
You can now use the `fullscreen_mode` = `simple` setting to use the new
simple full screen feature, that lives besides the normal full screen
feature. But allows you to have an option to go 100% full screen without
losing any useless space on your macbook screen.
**Note** this is mostly usefull when you have a macbook that has a notch
whitch is kinda in the way of your work flow.

Collab schema migration PR:
https://github.com/zed-industries/cloud/pull/3422
The corresponding database schema migration has been created in the
Cloud repo and applied to the production database.
Before, Zed scanned each and every entry in the tree down from the
directory it was opened in, except gitignored files and scan exclusions.
The approach is unchanged, if Zed detects it was open inside a git
repository: e.g. the directory open in Zed contains `.git` directory.
For the rest of the projects, 2 optimizations are made:
* Limit the depth of file scan traversal.
Now, `file_scan_depth` (default `5`) restricts Zed from traversing any
directory that has same number or more segments in its file path.
Such directories behave similar to gitignored directories: their
contents is not available in file finder, project search and project
panel, but can be lazily traversed when the directory is expanded (e.g.
project panel expands it or a nested file is open by path via terminal,
etc.)
To indicate that to the users, a status entry is shown firs time the
limitation is hit in the project:
<img width="858" height="133" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7da6cfbb-98b4-4cc3-bf2a-8902a9597a15"
/>
* During the scan, any git repositories that are not direct children of
the directory open in Zed (depth >= 2), are traversed and indexed
normally, but their git metadata is never fetched eagerly.
Only when Zed opens a buffer from that repo the git metadata is fetched
and applied.
All that combined now uses a way more moderate amount of CPU and RAM
when opening `~`:
<img width="1717" height="368" alt="Screenshot 2026-08-13 at 17 43 53"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ec83e2a9-f7cc-452b-8eb7-af158284ca4e"
/>
File scan inclusions and exclusions are considered still for such
projects.
Set `file_scan_depth` to `0` to enable old behavior.
The setting is supported in the project settings, so custom values can
be set based on the project's structure.
---
Release Notes:
- Fixed Zed using a lot of memory and CPU in large, non-git-tracked,
directory trees
## Summary
- Add `terminal.starts_open` setting so the terminal panel can open
automatically in new workspaces, like project and git panels already can
- Expose the setting through terminal settings docs, default settings,
Settings Editor metadata, and the terminal panel implementation
- I also added a matching settings page item for the existing
`git_panel.start_open` setting

Related to #51542 (issue mentions possibly adding for all panels, closed
with implementation for `git_panel`)
Release Notes:
- Added `terminal.starts_open` to control whether the terminal panel
opens automatically in new workspaces
## Summary
Adds a `gutter.git_gutter_width` setting that lets users pin the width,
in pixels, of the git diff hunk indicators in the editor gutter.
Previously the width was always derived from the buffer font size
(`floor(0.275 * line_height)`), which can render too thin or too thick
depending on font family and display pixel density. This adds an
optional override:
```json
{
"gutter": {
"git_gutter_width": 6
}
}
```
When the setting is unset (`null`, the default), the width continues to
scale with the buffer font size, so existing behavior is unchanged.
## Motivation
Requested in [discussion
#27799](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/27799). Beyond
the width itself, participants noted the git hunk hit target is
extremely narrow and hard to click. Because the hunk hitbox reuses the
painted strip bounds, setting a wider `git_gutter_width` also widens the
clickable area, addressing that complaint with the same setting.
## Changes
- `settings_content`: new `git_gutter_width: Option<f32>` on
`GutterContent`.
- `editor`: mirror field on the resolved `Gutter`; `gutter_strip_width`
now consults the setting, and the value flows through `diff_hunk_bounds`
(including the deleted-hunk marker) and the gutter layout anchors for
line numbers, folds, and expand toggles.
- `settings` (VS Code import): pass through the new field.
- Docs + `default.json`: document the new setting.
## Notes
- `Eq` was dropped from `GutterContent`/`Gutter` because `f32` is not
`Eq`; this matches the existing `EditorSettingsContent` convention for
float-bearing settings.
Release Notes:
- Added a `gutter.git_gutter_width` setting to configure the width of
git diff indicators in the editor gutter

Fixes the bug that made us remove the sandbox.
The bug in question was very dumb:
- there is sophisticated machinery for detecting whether a user-granted
writable path is swapped out for a symlink in the timing gap between
approval and sandbox creation
- there was no equivalent machinery to do the same for the (much larger)
gap between a user *persisting an approval* (either for the current
thread or permanently via settings)
- The fix is essentially to store canonical (i.e. absolute and
symlink-free at all depths) paths as the source of truth, but retain the
raw path for display purposes
- On WSL, there is extra care needed becasue of the bidirectional
mounting (i.e. `/mnt/c/...` and `\\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\...`). In
particular, `/mnt/c/...` paths, since their inodes do not necessarily
pin NTFS file references, weaken the sandbox guarantees, and so we need
some extra UI to call this out and docs etc...
This also does not remove the feature flag, but just toggles it to
"enabled_for_all"

Objective:
Allow users to configure the font families used by agent panel content
separately from the main UI and buffer fonts.
Solution:
- Add `agent_ui_font_family` for agent responses in the agent panel.
- Add `agent_buffer_font_family` for the agent panel message editor and
user messages.
- Keep context menus on the primary UI font family.
- Document the new settings and expose them in the settings UI.
Testing:
- Ran `cargo fmt`.
- Ran `cargo check -p settings_content -p theme_settings -p markdown -p
agent_ui -p settings_ui -p ui`.
- Ran `git diff --check`.
- Manually tested the agent panel font behavior in a dev build.
Release Notes:
- Added settings for configuring agent panel UI and buffer font
families.

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
Closes#56536
## What & why
Running `zed: import vs code settings` more than once kept re-adding the
same file extensions to `file_types`, so `files.associations` entries
grew without bound:
```json
"file_types": { "c": ["*.keymap", "*.keymap", "*.keymap"] }
```
The import merges the VS Code-derived settings into the user's existing
settings, and `file_types` values were `ExtendingVec`s, whose
`merge_from` appends every incoming value unconditionally.
Per review feedback, instead of changing `ExtendingVec`'s merge
semantics (it also backs ssh/wsl connections, `private_files`, etc.),
this adds a new `ExtendingSet` type that actually behaves like a set,
and switches `FileTypeMap`'s file associations to it:
- Backed by an insertion-order-preserving `IndexSet`, so users' pattern
order round-trips through the settings file unchanged (the import
machinery diffs serialized old/new content to produce edits; a sorted
set would reorder existing arrays).
- Merging only accumulates new values, so re-importing an
already-present association is a no-op.
- Since it's a real set, deserialization also collapses duplicates that
earlier imports already wrote into the settings file.
- `ExtendingVec` and all its other users are untouched.
## Testing
- Added a `test_vscode_import` case that re-imports an already-present
`files.associations` entry and asserts the extension isn't duplicated.
It fails before the change and passes after.
- `cargo test -p settings -p settings_content -p language` pass.
- `./script/clippy -p settings -p settings_content -p language -p
recent_projects -p json_schema_store` is clean.
Release Notes:
- Fixed importing VS Code settings repeatedly adding duplicate
`file_types` entries for `files.associations`.

## Context
Closes#58571
When editing `settings.json`, typing a new key under `languages`
triggers language-name autocomplete. The same did not work for
`file_types`, even though both keys map language names to configuration.
The root cause: the JSON schema generator uses `replace_subschema` to
inject installed language names as the allowed properties of a named
type. The `languages` field backed by `LanguageToSettingsMap` (a named
newtype) got this treatment; `file_types` was backed by a raw
`HashMap<Arc<str>, ExtendingVec<String>>` with no named type to target.
The fix introduces a `FileTypeMap` newtype parallel to
`LanguageToSettingsMap` and wires it into the same schema-injection
path.

00-04-16.webm](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5d8afb60-d566-4c99-ad2a-66ebbb47ed2e)
## How to Review
- `crates/settings_content/src/language.rs` : Adds
`FileTypeMap(HashMap<Arc<str>, ExtendingVec<String>>)` with the full set
of derives (`Debug`, `Clone`, `Default`, `PartialEq`, `Serialize`,
`Deserialize`, `JsonSchema`, `MergeFrom`) and an `IntoIterator for
&FileTypeMap` impl so existing call sites
(`all_languages.file_types.iter().flatten()`) continue to work without
changes. Changes the `file_types` field in `AllLanguageSettingsContent`
from the raw HashMap to `Option<FileTypeMap>`.
- `crates/settings/src/settings_store.rs` : In
`configure_schema_generator`, adds a `replace_subschema::<FileTypeMap>`
call mirroring the existing `LanguageToSettingsMap` one: injects
installed language names as the allowed properties, with
`ExtendingVec<String>` (array of glob patterns) as the value schema.
Adds `test_file_types_schema_generation` to verify the injected
properties.
- `crates/settings/src/vscode_import.rs` : Updates `file_types()` to
return `Option<FileTypeMap>` and wraps the constructed map accordingly.
- `crates/language/src/buffer_tests.rs` : Updates the existing custom
`file_types` test setup to extend the inner map of the new `FileTypeMap`
wrapper explicitly, keeping the language crate test build passing after
the type change.

## Objective
The doc comment links for `Settings::PRESERVED_KEYS` point to
`[FileContent](Self::FileContent)` but that associated type was removed
by the settings refactor in
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/38367.
`Settings::from_settings` now takes `&SettingsContent` directly. The
dead link causes `rustdoc::broken_intra_doc_links` warnings when
building docs for the `settings` crate:
```
warning: unresolved link to `Self::FileContent`
--> crates/settings/src/settings_store.rs:61:53
|
61 | /// The name of the keys in the [`FileContent`](Self::FileContent) that should
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the trait `Settings` has no associated item named `FileContent`
```
Fixes#57310
## Solution
Replaced both `[FileContent](Self::FileContent)` occurrences in
`crates/settings/src/settings_store.rs` with `[SettingsContent]`, which
is already in scope via the existing `use` at the top of the file and
resolves correctly. Docs-only change, no runtime behavior change.
## Testing
- Verified with `cargo doc -p settings --no-deps`, which now completes
without any `broken_intra_doc_links` warnings (previously emitted two).
- No runtime code touched — doc comments only, so no other testing
applies.

Release Notes:
- N/A
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.
Here's a quick video:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/21908be4-306b-4cf3-bed0-50d52cad9d79
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.
# Objective
Closes#59829
Provide a filterable, preview-backed picker for LSP results as an
alternative to the multi-buffer view, for references, definitions,
implementations.
## Solution
Update the 3 existing LSP actions (definitions, implementations, find
all references) to add a `open_results_in` parameter which accepts
either `multi_buffer` (default) or `picker` to show the results in a
filterable picker with preview. This behavior can be configured globally
in the settings via `lsp_results_location`.
UX:
- The 3 existing LSP actions each accept a `open_results_in` parameter
so that each action can be configuring individually with a custom
keybind
- The `lsp_results_location` global setting can be used to set a default
behavior with `open_results_in == None`
- Go to definition falls back to find all references (if configured) on
empty results which is consistent with the non-picker path
- Results are grouped by file; each row shows the line number and the
syntax-highlighted source line with the match emphasized.
- Typing filters by line text or path; the preview updates with the
selection.
- Enter/click opens the selection, `cmd/ctrl-enter` opens it in a split,
and re-invoking the command toggles the picker closed.
- Empty results show a toast so the command never silently does nothing.
- Note: the new pickers do not open on cmd-click, only when invoked via
the command palette or keybind
## Testing
- No automated tests yet — holding for first-round feedback on the
approach and UX before adding tests.

Release Notes:
- The find all references, go to definitions, and go to implementations
LSP actions can be configured to open results in a picker with preview
instead of a multibuffer.
This is necessary to remove some `util` dependencies from crates, as
well as better sharing for our projects. This also includes the WIP
AbsPath abstraction as well as some bug fixes from internal tooling.
Release Notes:
- N/A or Added/Fixed/Improved ...
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.

Release Notes:

## Summary
Introduces `format_on_save` variants that format only modified lines,
limiting formatting to lines changed since the last commit. This
prevents massive diffs when editing legacy codebases. Aligns with VS
Code's `editor.formatOnSaveMode` naming:
- `"modifications"` — formats only git-diffed lines. Requires source
control; skips formatting if no diff is available.
- `"modifications_if_available"` — formats only git-diffed lines,
falling back to full-file formatting for untracked files, when source
control is unavailable, or when the LSP does not support range
formatting.
Also supports importing equivalent VS Code settings
(`formatOnSaveMode`).
This PR uses the range-based whitespace/newline infrastructure from the
dependency PR above.
## Changes
<details>
<summary><b>New settings, modified ranges computation, VS Code
import</b></summary>
### New settings (`language.rs`, `default.json`, `all-settings.md`)
Two new `FormatOnSave` variants: `Modifications` and
`ModificationsIfAvailable`.
### Modified ranges computation (`items.rs`)
- `compute_format_decision()` — reads `format_on_save` setting across
all buffers, determines whether to use ranged formatting (`Ranges`),
full formatting (`Full`), or skip (`Skip`).
- `compute_modified_ranges()` — extracts modified line ranges from git
diff hunks via `BufferDiffSnapshot`.
- `is_empty_range()` — helper to detect deletion-only hunks that produce
no formatable content.
The `save()` method calls `compute_format_decision()` and dispatches
accordingly.
### Modifications mode in `lsp_store.rs`
- Adds `FormatOnSave::Modifications |
FormatOnSave::ModificationsIfAvailable` to the formatter selection match
arm.
- `ModificationsIfAvailable` falls back to full-file formatting when
ranged formatting produces no results.
### VS Code settings import (`vscode_import.rs`, `settings_store.rs`)
Imports `editor.formatOnSaveMode` mapping:
- `"modifications"` → `FormatOnSave::Modifications`
- `"modificationsIfAvailable"` →
`FormatOnSave::ModificationsIfAvailable`
- `"file"` → `FormatOnSave::On`
</details>
## Tests
- `test_modifications_format_on_save` — basic modifications mode
formatting with dirty buffer
- `test_modifications_format_no_changes` — clean buffer triggers no
formatting
- `test_modifications_format_lsp_no_range_support` — LSP without range
formatting skips entirely for `Modifications`
- `test_modifications_format_lsp_returns_empty_edits` — empty edits
handled gracefully
- `test_modifications_format_multiple_hunks` — two non-adjacent edits
produce two separate range formatting requests

`format_on_save`, which format only git-changed lines instead of the
entire file
- When using modifications mode, `remove_trailing_whitespace_on_save`
and `ensure_final_newline_on_save` are also scoped to changed lines,

This fixes#56956.
The terminal link-open gesture was split between `mouse_down` and
`mouse_up`, but both halves only ran in the non-mouse-reporting path.
When a foreground app enabled terminal mouse reporting, a secondary
click on a URL or file path was forwarded to the PTY instead of opening
the link.
This changes secondary-click link handling so it checks for a hyperlink
before mouse reporting on press, and completes the matching hyperlink
open before mouse reporting on release. The event is only consumed when
the click actually lands on the same link, so normal clicks in
mouse-reporting TUIs continue to be forwarded as before.
Validation:
- `CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=1 cargo test -j1 -p terminal
test_hyperlink_ctrl_click_same_position_in_mouse_mode`
- `CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=1 cargo check -j1 -p terminal`
Release Notes:
- Improved terminal links: Cmd/Ctrl-click now opens links even when the
application has mouse reporting enabled (e.g. vim, opencode, claude).
Disable `terminal.open_links_in_mouse_mode` to forward these clicks to
the application instead.

# Objective
In the keymap editor, bindings whose `keymap.json` entries use a
deprecated action alias (e.g. `"editor::CopyRelativePath"` for
`workspace::CopyRelativePath`) could not be deleted or edited. Aliases
resolve to the canonical action on load, so the row displays normally,
but file updates searched for the canonical name and never matched the
alias entry. Deleting failed ("Failed to find keybinding to remove"),
and editing silently fell back to appending a new binding — leaving the
user with duplicate identical-looking rows they couldn't remove.
## Solution
- Thread gpui's deprecated-alias map
(`App::deprecated_actions_to_preferred_actions`) into
`KeymapFile::update_keybinding`, and resolve aliases in file entries
when matching bindings.
- As a side effect, editing an alias-based binding now rewrites the
entry with the canonical action name instead of duplicating it.
## Testing
- Unit tests in `settings` for removing and replacing alias-based
entries.
- End-to-end keymap editor tests (fake fs → keymap load → `KeymapEditor`
→ delete) covering both the alias case and plain duplicate bindings.

established formatting conventions.
Enabling format-on-save by default can cause changes in ecosystems that
don't have established official formatting conventions, or when the
formatting conventions came later through new tools (like JavaScript).
fixes#59427
## Solution
This PR inverts the default, choosing to disable format-on-save by
default, and allowing it to be enabled by users at a global or language
level for any language which has an official formatter. However, any
ecosystem which has an official formatter has been left enabled.
This means languages like Rust, Go, and Zig have `format_on_save`
enabled because they come with official formatting tools, while
JavaScript, C/C++, and Markdown have it disabled by default.
For existing users, this means their custom configurations will stay,
but any values that were previously "default" will be updated.
## Testing
- open a file for the language being tested (ex: `python`)
- formatting should only be enabled if the default for the *language* is
enabled
- formatting can be enabled or disabled at the language level or the
global level in the settings

Release Notes:
- Disable format-on-save by default, except for languages with official

Add support for scaling the Markdown preview's body text and headings
with `cmd-=` / `cmd--` / `cmd-0`. Previously these shortcuts only
resized code blocks because the preview's body used `ui_font_size` and
headings used a rem-based scale anchored to it, while the keybindings
only mutated `BufferFontSize`.
The preview's scroll subtree is now wrapped in
`WithRemSize(buffer_font_size)`, so `1rem` resolves to the buffer font
size inside the preview. Body text, headings
(`text_3xl`/`text_2xl`/...), and rem-based spacing all scale together.
The outer focus root and scrollbar remain at the UI font size.

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 PR introduces a markdown preview max-width setting in which we
allow to limit by a given pixel number how wide the content within the
preview tab should go. Before this, content would render edge-to-edge
and if you're reading long markdown docs with no split panes, having it
be full width like that was a horrible reading experience.
So, right now, you can control that through the
`zed://settings/markdown_preview.max_width` setting.
<img width="600" alt="Screenshot 2026-06-18 at 1 24@2x"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7f0216e1-e4ac-47f7-975b-5de7a0dd4c6d"
/>
Release Notes:
- Added setting to control max-width of content within the markdown
preview.
The work introduced in https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/54496
updated the `command_aliases` schema, adding support for auto-completion
action names when editing the settings file. However, it didn't take
into consideration the case where the user is simply creating an alias
to an arbitrary string.
These changes introduce a new `CommandAliasTarget` newtype for which the
json schema is either a registered action name, from `ActionName` or any
arbitrary string, as those are supported by the `command_aliases`
setting.
Updating the `ActionName` schema to accept any arbitrary string would
break the guarantees we have on the keymap binding schema, so that's why
a new schema was introduced.
Lastly, trying to set `CommandAliasTarget::json_schema` to a simply
`anyOf` with either the registered action name or a string that is not a
registered action name, like shown below, broke deprecation warnings,
hence why we're still doing the approach of only building
`CommandAliasTarget` at runtime.
```json
{
"anyOf": [
{ "$ref": "#/$defs/ActionName" },
{ "type": "string", "not": {
"$ref": "#/$defs/ActionName"
}},
]
}
```

Adds support for Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 model when using your own
Anthropic API key. Because Fable 5 cannot be offered under Zero Data
Retention (Anthropic retains inference logs for 30 days), this gates the
model behind an explicit data-retention consent: a new
telemetry.anthropic_retention setting (default off, surfaced in the
Privacy section of the settings UI), and a hard, non-retryable check in
the cloud completion path that raises a typed error when consent is
missing.
When Fable 5 declines a request, it transparently falls back to Claude
Opus 4.8 (matching Anthropic's server-side behavior), and the agent
panel shows a callout for the consent error with "Switch to Opus 4.8" /
"Accept" actions that resume the failed turn so the user's message
continues without retyping.
Closes AI-382
Release Notes:
- Add Claude Fable 5 to Anthropic BYOK

Adds option to always search/scan symlinks for more thorough coverage of
#41887 issue
This is a significant rewrite and more thoroughly reviewed and tested
version of the old PR here:
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/46344
The "never" option was removed from the old PR, since "expanded" is now
the default. Perhaps "never" can be added as an option later if there's
demand for it. Adding that option may resolve#48890 for instance.

When importing settings from VS Code, the minimap is now enabled by
default (matching VS Code's behavior) even if the user hasn't explicitly
set minimap-related options in their VS Code settings.json.
Previously, if `editor.minimap.enabled` and `editor.minimap.autohide`
were absent from the VS Code config, Zed would leave minimap at its own
default ("never"). Since VS Code defaults to minimap on, this caused a
mismatch for users expecting their VS Code experience to carry over.
Closes#56297
Release Notes:
- Fixed apply VS Code minimap default when importing settings
Signed-off-by: Xiaobo Liu <cppcoffee@gmail.com>
- Add a separate `git_commit_buffer_font_size` setting, defaulting to
`12px` (the previous default before it was changed to use the buffer
font size)

and in-panel editor

These settings actually mean the opposite:
> Whether to use the system provided dialogs for Open and Save As. When
set to false, Zed will use the built-in keyboard-first pickers.
> Enables the simple file dialog for opening and saving files and
folders. The simple file dialog replaces the system file dialog when
enabled.

~~Closes #ISSUE~~
Release Notes:
- Fixed import of VSCode setting `files.simpleDialog.enable` being
inverted
Adds a `markdown_preview_code_font_family` setting that overrides the
font used in the markdown preview for code — inline `code` spans and
fenced code blocks.
This is the counterpart to `markdown_preview_font_family` (#54003),
which already does this for body text. Together they let you choose a
typographically matched body + code font pair for the preview without
forcing the code font onto editor buffers, where it may not be a good
coding font:
```json
{
"markdown_preview_font_family": "Noto Serif",
"markdown_preview_code_font_family": "Noto Sans Mono"
}
```
Behavior mirrors `markdown_preview_font_family`:
- Scoped to the markdown preview only (`MarkdownFont::Preview`). The
agent panel, notifications, hover popovers, and REPL output are
unaffected — they keep using the buffer font for code.
- Falls back to the buffer font family when unset, so existing previews
are unchanged.
- Overrides the font family only; fallbacks and features still come from
the buffer font.
Before (uses buffer font, here Iosevka):

/>
After (uses specified font, here Noto Sans Mono):

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f911c99b-08f8-4336-83eb-54b555f11c54"
/>
Release Notes:
- Added `markdown_preview_code_font_family` to override the code font in
the markdown preview
Instead of manually handing hiding the cursor on keyboard input at the
editor level, GPUI will now take care of it.
This makes it significantly easier to handle the edge cases, and allows
delegating the cursor restoration to the platform itself in the macOS
case. On Linux and Windows, we still have to restore the cursor on
movement ourselves, but this now happens at the platform-specific level.
Bugs fixed by this change:
- No cursor when "Unsaved edits" prompt appears
- Cursor disappears when clicking a panel button if it contains a search
bar (e.g. collab panel)
### Setting rename
The `hide_mouse` setting value `"on_typing_and_movement"` has been
renamed to `"on_typing_and_action"` to better reflect what it actually
does — it hides the cursor when a keystroke resolves to an action (e.g.
cursor movement, deletion). Existing settings are migrated
automatically.
### Tested platforms
- [x] macOS
- [x] Wayland
- [x] X11
- [x] Windows
- [x] Web

hidden
When started working on "disable the profiler for all but Nightly and

discovered that those are ignored.

Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/52173
Release Notes:
- Reworked go to definition to open its target in the center of the
editor. Can be reconfigured with `go_to_definition_scroll_strategy`.
## Summary
Adds two user-facing settings that let the markdown preview render with
a font family and theme independent from the editor. Both are optional
and fall back to the editor defaults when unset.
```json
{
"markdown_preview_font_family": "Georgia",
"markdown_preview_theme": "Solarized Light"
}
```
## Details
- New `MarkdownFont::Preview` variant, used only by the preview surface.
- New `MarkdownStyle::themed_with_overrides()` that accepts explicit
`ThemeColors` and `SyntaxTheme` so the preview can render with a theme
other than the active editor theme. Existing `themed()` callers are
unchanged.
- The preview pane background adopts the chosen theme's
`editor_background`.
- Follows the pattern already used by `agent_ui_font_size` /
`agent_buffer_font_size`.
## Scope
Sizing-related changes (`markdown_preview_font_size`,
`markdown_preview_line_height`, typography tweaks, responsive max-width
container) were in an earlier revision of this PR and have been removed
per review feedback — they interact with the Cmd+/- zoom behavior in
ways that still need design work, and will land in a follow-up.
## Files Changed
- `crates/settings_content/src/theme.rs` — schema
- `crates/theme_settings/src/settings.rs` — runtime + accessor
- `crates/markdown/src/markdown.rs` — `MarkdownFont::Preview` +
`themed_with_overrides()`
- `crates/markdown_preview/src/markdown_preview_view.rs` — theme
resolution, style selection, background
- `crates/markdown_preview/Cargo.toml` — `theme` dependency
- `crates/settings/src/vscode_import.rs` — new fields in struct literal
Release Notes:
- Added `markdown_preview_font_family` and `markdown_preview_theme`
settings to customize the markdown preview independently from the
editor.

Needs https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/54635 for the profile
overrides added into default settings json to work.
Part of https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/48968
Another part of the fix related seems to be
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/45669 ?
Using the steps from the issue and profiling on macOs had shown that Zed
has 2 memory "leaks" in play when a certain file is being rewritten a
lot of times.
* First, the thread profiler registers a lot of tasks' data and fills
its buffer to the limit:
<img width="3456" height="2158" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f183312d-4389-4072-8915-d54e60419b08"
/>
* Second, if the buffer gets open, the undo history fragments start to
creep up infinitely:
<img width="3456" height="2158" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/61a2b66b-81fd-4973-9c3c-c339f886d9b2"
/>
The PR aims to solve the first issue by disabling the profiling by
default, yet leaving the way to turn in on quickly with settings.
The memory usage profiling shows that the memory usage is now
dynamically affected by the new setting:
<img width="2032" height="1136" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8a6c76b9-6fb7-44bc-ac1d-3c34afe7c575"
/>
While the test directory being thrashed with the script from the issue,
* first, Zed starts with the profiling disabled
* then gets the profiling enabled which results in the memory growth
close to 1 minute mark of the screenshot
* last, the profiling gets disabled again, releasing all the memory
accumulated
Release Notes:
- Improved Zed's default memory usage
Added support for `credentials_url`, falling back to `server_url`, to be
used as the key for storing information inside Keychain Access. This
allows two copies of Zed to be used side by side if the other is
launched with a custom `--user-data-dir`.
- [x] Added a solid test coverage and/or screenshots from doing manual
testing
- [x] Done a self-review taking into account security and performance
aspects

- Added support for `credentials_url`, falling back to `server_url`, to

Closes#49581
Adds a `line_ending` language setting that controls how line endings are
handled for new files and during format/save:
- `detect` (default) — detects existing line endings; new files use the
platform default
- `prefer_lf` / `prefer_crlf` — sets LF or CRLF for new files and files
with no existing convention, while preserving existing files
- `enforce_lf` / `enforce_crlf` — normalizes all line endings to LF or
CRLF on every format/save
The setting can be configured globally, per-language, or via
`.editorconfig`'s `end_of_line` property (which maps to `enforce_lf` /
`enforce_crlf`).
Release Notes:
- Added `line_ending` setting to control how line endings are handled
for new files and normalized on save.
- Added support for `.editorconfig` `end_of_line` property to enforce
line endings.

The `project_name` worktree setting was added in #36713 to let users
override the name shown in the window title. Its description ("The
displayed name of this project. If left empty, the root directory name
will be displayed.") suggests broader coverage, and #46440 reports the
reasonable expectation that it should also apply in the project
switcher. In practice the setting has only ever affected
`Workspace::update_window_title`, so everywhere else (recent projects,
the multi-worktree pane, ...) keeps falling back to the worktree root
name.
Rather than plumb the setting through each of those surfaces, I'm
removing it. Having a project-level setting control how your editor
displays the project has downsides. For example it means a checkout can
dictate UI in someone else's Zed. The natural home for a custom display
name is the workspace DB, set from the UI, which is what we should do if
we want this feature back.
If you want this back, the path forward is to store the display name in
`WorkspaceDb`, expose a UI affordance to edit it, and read it from
`update_window_title`, `recent_projects::get_recent_projects` /
`get_open_folders`, and any other places that currently derive a display
name from the worktree root.
Closes#46440
Release Notes:
- Removed the `project_name` project setting. It only ever affected the
OS window title, and the expectation that it would show up in the
project switcher and elsewhere is better served by a future UI-driven,
per-workspace setting stored locally.
