Release Notes:

- N/A 

Overview

Restructures the documentation navigation to be organized by user goals
rather than feature lists. Introduces a new "Working with Code" section
and reorganizes existing content into clearer groupings.

### Navigation Changes

**New top-level sections:**
- **Working with Code** — Groups editing, navigation, and execution
features by workflow
- **Reference** — Dedicated section for lookup-only content (settings,
actions, CLI)
- **Coming From...** — Migration guides grouped together

**Reorganized sections:**
- **Customization** — Renamed from "Configuration," focused on
appearance and keybindings
- **Account & Privacy** — Consolidated auth, privacy, and telemetry

Finding & Navigating

Zed provides several ways to move around your codebase quickly. Here's an overview of the main navigation tools.

Command Palette

The Command Palette ({#kb command_palette::Toggle}) is your gateway to almost everything in Zed. Type a few characters to filter commands, then press Enter to execute.

File Finder

Open any file in your project with {#kb file_finder::Toggle}. Type part of the filename or path to narrow results.

Project Search

Search across all files with {#kb pane::DeploySearch}. Results appear in a multibuffer, letting you edit matches in place.

Go to Definition

Jump to where a symbol is defined with {#kb editor::GoToDefinition} (or Cmd+Click / Ctrl+Click). If there are multiple definitions, they open in a multibuffer.

Go to Symbol

Current file: {#kb outline::Toggle} opens an outline of symbols in the active file
Entire project: {#kb project_symbols::Toggle} searches symbols across all files

Outline Panel

The Outline Panel ({#kb outline_panel::ToggleFocus}) shows a persistent tree view of symbols in the current file. It's especially useful with multibuffers for navigating search results or diagnostics.

Tab Switcher

Quickly switch between open tabs with {#kb tab_switcher::Toggle}. Tabs are sorted by recent use—keep holding Ctrl and press Tab to cycle through them.
