# Objective Provide a means of quickly opening a permanent tab from project panel instead of a preview tab. Implements #51866 (_Middle click to open file in a new tab_ with 18×↑) which is also part of #31822 (_Middle Click Improvments_) titled "middle clicking on a file in the project panel should open the file in a non-transient state". With `preview_tabs.enable_preview_from_project_panel` enabled, a click in the project panel opens a preview tab, and there's no easy gesture to open a permanent one instead, simplest one currently being a double click. VS Code and VSCode-based editors recognize middle mouse click as a way to open a permanent tab since 2016 (microsoft/vscode#14453). ## Solution Wired up an `on_aux_click` handler for project panel entries: middle-clicking a file opens it in a permanent tab and focuses it, regardless of the preview tabs setting. Added a line to `docs/src/project-panel.md` to reflect the behavior. ## Testing - Manually tested on Windows: middle click opens a permanent tab, promotes an existing preview tab to a permanent one if already open, does nothing for directories - Haven't tested on macOS/Linux ## Self-Review Checklist: - [ ] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability - [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments - [x] The content adheres to Zed's UI standards ([UX/UI](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) and [icon](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/crates/icons/README.md) guidelines) - [ ] Tests cover the new/changed behavior - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable ## Showcase <details> <summary>Click to view showcase</summary> https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2de5f23d-637f-4ffc-8d03-02dc11714af4 </details> --- Release Notes: - Added support for middle-clicking a file in the project panel to open it in a permanent tab instead of a preview tab |
