# Add "Reopen with Encoding" feature (Local/Single user)
## Summary
This PR adds a "Reopen with Encoding" feature to allow users to manually
specify an encoding and reload the active buffer.
This feature allows users to explicitly specify the encoding and reload
the file to resolve garbled text caused by incorrect detection.
## Changes
1. Added encoding picker logic to `encoding_selector`
- Implemented a modal UI accessible via the command palette, shortcuts,
or by clicking the encoding status in the status bar.
- Allows users to select from a list of supported encodings (Shift JIS,
EUC-JP, UTF-16LE, etc.).
2. Updated Buffer logic (crates/language)
- Added a `force_encoding_on_next_reload` flag to the Buffer struct.
- Updated the `reload` method to check this flag and apply the following
logic:
- **Non-Unicode (e.g., Shift JIS):** Bypasses heuristics (like BOM
checks) to force the specified encoding.
- **Unicode (e.g., UTF-8):** Performs standard BOM detection. This
ensures that the BOM is correctly handled/consumed when switching back
to UTF-8.
3. UI / Keymap
- Made the encoding status in the status bar (ActiveBufferEncoding)
clickable.
- Added default keybindings:
- macOS: cmd-k n
- Linux/Windows: ctrl-k n
- Windows: ctrl-k n
## Limitations & Scope
To ensure stability and keep the PR focused, the following scenarios are
intentionally out of scope:
1. **Collaboration and Remote Connections**
- Encoding changes are disabled when collaboration (is_shared) or SSH
remote connections (is_via_remote_server) are active.
- **Reason:** Synchronizing encoding state changes between host/guest or
handling remote reloads involves complex synchronization logic. This PR
focuses on local files only.
`Remote Connection (SSH/WSL)`

2. Dirty State
- The feature is disabled if the buffer has unsaved changes to prevent
data loss during reload.

3. Files detected as Binary
Files that worktree detects as "binary" (e.g., UTF-16 files without BOM
containing non-ASCII characters) are not opened in the editor, so this
feature cannot be triggered.
**Future Work**: Fixing this would require modifying crates/worktree
heuristics or exposing a "Force Open as Text" action for InvalidItemView
to trigger. Given the scope and impact, this is deferred to a future PR.
## Test Plan
I verified the feature and BOM handling using the following scenarios:
### Preparation
Used the following test files:
-
[**test_utf8.txt**](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/24548803/test_utf8.txt):
English-only text file. No BOM.
-
[**test_utf8_bom.txt**](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/24548822/test_utf8_bom.txt):
English-only text file. With BOM.
-
[**test_utf8_jp_bom.txt**](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/24548825/test_utf8_jp_bom.txt):
UTF-8 with BOM file containing Japanese characters.
-
[**test_shiftjis_jp.txt**](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/24548827/test_shiftjis_jp.txt):
Shift-JIS file containing Japanese characters (content designed to
trigger misdetection, e.g., using only half-width katakana).
Used an external editor (VS Code or Notepad) for verification.
### Case 1: English-only file behavior
1. Open an English-only UTF-8 file (test_utf8.txt).
2. Reopen as Shift JIS.
3. **Result:**
- Text appearance remains unchanged (since ASCII is compatible).
- Status bar updates to "Shift JIS".
### Case 2: Fixing Mojibake
1. Open a Shift-JIS file (test_shiftjis_jp.txt) that causes detection
failure.
※Confirm it opens with mojibake
2. Select Shift JIS from the status bar selector.
3. **Result:**
- Mojibake is resolved, and Japanese text is displayed correctly.
- Status bar updates to "Shift JIS".
### Case 3: Unicode file with BOM behavior
1. Open an English-only UTF-8 with BOM file (test_utf8_bom.txt).
2. Reopen as `Shift JIS`.
3. **Result:**
- The BOM bytes are displayed as mojibake at the beginning of the file.
- The rest of the English text is displayed normally (ASCII
compatibility).
- Status bar updates to "Shift JIS".
### Case 4: Non-Unicode file with BOM behavior
1. Open a UTF-8 with BOM file containing Japanese
(test_utf8_jp_bom.txt).
2. Reopen as Shift JIS.
3. **Result:**
- The BOM bytes at the start are displayed as mojibake.
- The Japanese text body is displayed as mojibake (UTF-8 bytes
interpreted as Shift JIS).
- Status bar updates to "Shift JIS" (no BOM indicator).
### Case 5: Revert to Unicode
1. From the state in Case 4 (Shift JIS with mojibake), reopen as UTF-8.
2. **Result:**
- The BOM mojibake at the start disappears (consumed).
- The text returns to normal.
- Status bar updates to "UTF-8 (BOM)".
### Case 6: External BOM removal (State sync)
1. Open a UTF-8 with BOM file in Zed (test_utf8_bom.txt).
2. Open the same file in an external editor and save it as UTF-8 (No
BOM).
3. Refocus Zed.
4. **Result:**
- Text appearance remains unchanged.
- The (BOM) indicator disappears from the status bar.
- Saving in Zed and checking externally confirms the BOM is gone.
### Case 7: External BOM addition
1. From the state in Case 6 (UTF-8 No BOM), save as UTF-8 with BOM in
the external editor.
2. Refocus Zed.
3. **Result:**
- The (BOM) indicator appears in the status bar.
- Saving in Zed and checking externally confirms the BOM is present.
### Case 8: External Encoding Change (Auto-detect sync)
1. Open an English-only UTF-8 file in Zed (`test_utf8.txt`).
* *Status bar shows: "UTF-8".*
2. Open the same file in an external editor and save it as **UTF-16LE
with BOM**.
3. Refocus Zed.
4. **Result:**
* The text remains readable (no mojibake).
* **Status bar automatically updates to "UTF-16LE (BOM)".** (Verifies
that `buffer.encoding` is correctly updated during reload).
Release Notes:
- Added "Reopen with Encoding" feature (currently supported for local
files).

Closes #ISSUE
Post #43854, we are advertising trailing comma support for our asset
`jsonc` files to the JSON LSP. This results in it adding trailing commas
on format of these files. This PR batch updates the formatting for these
files, so they are not spuriously added as part of other PRs that happen
to modify these files
Release Notes:
- N/A *or* Added/Fixed/Improved ...
- Add `skip_soft_wrap` field to both `AddSelectionAbove` and
`AddSelectionBelow` actions. When set to `true`, which is now
the default this will skip soft wrapped lines when extending the
selections.
- Move the `start_of_relative_buffer_row` function from the
`vim::motion` module to the `editor::display_map::DisplaySnapshot`
implementation as a method.
- Update the default behavior for both `editor: add selection above` and
`editor: add selection below` commands in order to skip over soft
wrapped lines by default, mirroring VS Code's default behavior.
- Update existing keymaps to specify this `skip_soft_wrap` value for
both `AddSelectionAbove` and `AddSelectionBelow` actions.
Closes#16979
Release Notes:
- Updated both the `editor: add selection above` and `editor: add
selection below` commands to ignore soft wrapped lines. If you wish to
restore the old behavior, add the following to your keymap file:
```
{
"context": "Editor",
"bindings": {
"cmd-alt-up": ["editor::AddSelectionAbove", { "skip_soft_wrap": false
}],
"cmd-alt-down": ["editor::AddSelectionBelow", { "skip_soft_wrap": false
}]
}
}
```

Closes#10167
This is take 2 on https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/2341 which
was closed due to lack of migrator.
This PR contains rename of following keymap actions:
```sh
1. ["editor::GoToPrevHunk", { "center_cursor": true }] -> ["editor::GoToPreviousHunk", { "center_cursor": true }]
2. "editor::GoToPrevDiagnostic" -> "editor::GoToPreviousDiagnostic"
3. "editor::ContextMenuPrev" -> "editor::ContextMenuPrevious"
4. "search::SelectPrevMatch" -> "search::SelectPreviousMatch"
5. "file_finder::SelectPrev" -> "file_finder::SelectPrevious"
6. "menu::SelectPrev" -> "menu::SelectPrevious"
7. "editor::TabPrev" -> "editor::Backtab"
```
Release Notes:
- Renamed several keymap actions for consistency (e.g., `GoToPrevHunk` →
`GoToPreviousHunk`, `TabPrev` → `Backtab`). Your existing configured
keybindings will still work. You can click **"Backup and Update"** at
the top of your keymap file to easily update to the new actions.

- Added Linux-Specific keymaps for JetBrains, Atom and Sublime Text
- Improved MacOS-specific keymaps for JetBrains and Atom
