It was previously copied incorrectly from `Terminal: Copy On Select`.
Release Notes:
- Fixed wrong description in `Terminal: Cursor Shape` in `Configuring
Zed` document
At RustConf we were demo'ing zed, and it continually popped open the
chat panel.
We're usually inured to this because the Chat panel doesn't open unless
a Guest
is in the channel, but it made me sad that we were showing a long stream
of
vacuous comments and unresponded to questions on every demo screen.
We may bring chat back in the future, but we need more thought on the
UX, and
we need to rebuild the backend to not use the existing collab server
that we're
trying to move off of.
Release Notes:
- Removed the chat feature from Zed (Sorry to the 5 of you who use this
on the regular!)
Within our hosted docs, we are missing documentation for quite a lot of
settings - sometimes for newer settings, sometimes for settings that are
more than two years old. This leads (amongst other things) to feature
requests for features that are already supported, false issue reports
(because people couldn't find the setting for what caused the issue
within the documentation) and generally just takes time for for both
these affected by the missing documentation as well as these handling
the questions around it.
This change here takes a stab at the problem by adding more
documentation for a lot supported setting (not all of it) as well as
reorganizing some settings so that some stuff can (hopefully) be found
more easily. Eventually, we should find a better method for this, but
it's still better than informing people for the n-th time that we e.g.
have `agent_font_size` for the agent panel. Manually audited twice but
I'll take another thorough look before merging.
Release Notes:

Introduce `min_words_query_len` threshold for automatic word completion
display, and set it to 3 by default.
Re-enable word completions in Markdown and Plaintext.
Release Notes:
- Introduced `min_words_query_len` threshold for automatic word
completion display, and set it to 3 by default to make them less
intrusive
Release Notes:
- Added an option for the status_bar.cursor_position_button. Setting to
`false` will hide the button. It defaults to `true`.
This builds off the recent work to hide the language selection button
(https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/33977). I tried to follow
that pattern, and to pick a clear name for the option, but any
feedback/change is welcome.

The Zed Plex fonts were found to violate the OFL by using the word Plex
in the name.
Lilex has better ligatures and box-drawing characters than Zed Plex
Mono, but Zed Plex Sans should be identical
to IBM Plex Sans.
Closes#15542Closeszed-industries/zed-fonts#31
Release Notes:
- The "Zed Plex Sans" and "Zed Plex Mono" fonts have been replaced with
"IBM Plex Sans" and "Lilex". The old names still work for backward
compatibility. Other than fixing line-drawing characters, and improving
the ligatures, there should be little visual change as the fonts are all
of the same family.
- Introduced ".ZedSans" and ".ZedMono" as aliases to allow us to easily
change the default fonts in the future. These currently default to "IBM
Plex Sans" and "Lilex" respectively.
Release Notes:
- Added settings status_bar.show_active_language_button to show/hide the
language button in the status bar.
The motivation for this is visual, I have had zero issues with its
functionality.
The language switcher can still be accessed by the command palette,
menu, or a keyboard shortcut.
------
This is my first Zed and first Rust PR, so criticism is very welcome.
I know there has been discussion around how the status bar settings are
structured and named, and I am happy to change it to whatever is best. I
was also not sure what order to put it in in the settings default.json.
Feedback welcome.
Here is a picture of it in action:

# Summary
The link "under the configuration page" [on this
page](https://zed.dev/docs/configuring-zed#agent) is broken. It should
be linking to [this page](https://zed.dev/docs/ai/configuration).
## Approach
I noted that all other links in this document begin with "./" where the
ai configuration link does not, I also noticed [this
PR](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/31119) fixing a link with
the same approach. I don't fully understand why this is the fix.
## Previous Approaches
I have tried writing the following redirect in `docs/book.toml`:
`"/ai/configuration.html" = "/docs/ai/configuration.html"`. However this
broke the `mdbook` build with the below error.
```
2025-07-29 08:49:36 [ERROR] (mdbook::utils): Caused By: Not redirecting "/Users/tmonaghan/dev/zed/docs/book/ai/configuration.html" to "/docs/ai/configuration.html" because it already exists. Are you sure it needs to be redirected?
```
Release Notes:
- N/A
Adding a number of settings that weren't documented, restructuring
things a bit to separate what is model-related settings from agent panel
usage-related settings, adding the recently introduced `disable_ai` key,
and more.
Release Notes:
- Improved docs around configuring and using AI in Zed
This mirrors VSCode setting that inspired `snippet_sort_order` to begin
with; VSCode supports inline/top/bottom/none, with none completely
disabling snippet completion. See
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editing/intellisense#_snippets-in-suggestions
This is helpful for LSPs that do not allow configuring snippets via
configuration such as clangd.
Release Notes:
- Added `none` as one of the values for `snippet_sort_order` to
completely disable snippet completion.
When [`drag_and_drop_selection` is
true](https://zed.dev/docs/configuring-zed#drag-and-drop-selection),
users can make a selection in the buffer and then drag and drop it to a
new location. However, the editor forces users to wait 300ms after mouse
down before dragging. If users try to drag before this delay has
elapsed, they will create a new text selection instead, which can create
the impression that drag and drop does not work.
I made two changes to improve the UX of this feature:
* If users do not want a delay before drag and drop is enabled, they can
set the `drag_and_drop_selection.delay_ms` setting to 0.
* If the user has done a mouse down on a text selection, the cursor
changes to a copy affordance as soon as the configured delay has
elapsed, rather than waiting for them to start dragging. This way they
don't need to guess at when the delay has elapsed.
The default settings for this feature are now:
```
"drag_and_drop_selection": {
"enabled": true,
"delay_ms": 300
}
```
Closes#33915
Before:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7b2f986f-9c67-4b2b-a10e-757c3e9c934b
After:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/726d0dbf-e58b-41ad-93d2-1a758640b422
Release Notes:
- Migrate `drag_and_drop_selection` setting to
`drag_and_drop_selection.enabled`.
- Add `drag_and_drop_selection.delay_ms` setting to configure the delay
that must elapse before drag and drop is allowed.
- Show a ready to drag cursor affordance as soon as the delay has
elapsed

Closes#21262
Introduces a new setting `keep_selection_on_copy`, which controls
whether the current text selection is preserved after copying in the
terminal. The default behavior remains the same (`true`), but setting it
to `false` will clear the selection after the copy operation, matching
VSCode's behavior.
Additionally, the terminal context now exposes a `selection` flag
whenever text is selected.
This allows users to match VSCode and other terminal's smart copy
behavior.
Release Notes:
- Expose `selection` to terminal context when there is text selected in
the terminal
- Add `keep_selection_on_copy` terminal setting. Can be set to false to
clear the text selection when copying text.
**VSCode Behavior Example:**
**settings.json:**
```json
"terminal": {
"keep_selection_on_copy": false
},
```
**keymap.json:**
```json
{
"context": "Terminal && selection",
"bindings": {
"ctrl-c": "terminal::Copy"
}
}
```
Closes#4958
Release Notes:
- Added support for drag and drop text selection. It can be disabled by
setting `drag_and_drop_selection` to `false`.

This PR fixes some broken links that where found using
[lychee](https://github.com/lycheeverse/lychee/) as discussed today with
@JosephTLyons and @nathansobo at the RustNL hackathon. Using
[lychee-action](https://github.com/lycheeverse/lychee-action/) we can
scan for broken links daily to prevent issues in the future.
There are still 6 broken links that I didn't know how to fix myself.

Follow up to https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/31353. Just
ensuring we're walking toward a more consistent use of the multiple
terms we have floating around in the AI realm. In this case, `thread` is
the term for the now default view, the one that has agentic features;
`text_thread` is the term for the original view, the one where it's just
text. The settings now reflect this. Also took advantage of the
opportunity to add some docs, too.

This PR introduces an inline code action indicator that shows up at the
start of a buffer line when there's enough space. If space is tight, it
adjusts to lines above or below instead. It also adjusts when cursor is
near indicator.
The indicator won't appear if there's no space within about 8 rows in
either direction, and it also stays hidden for folded ranges. It also
won't show up in case there is not space in multi buffer excerpt. These
cases account for very little because practically all languages do have
indents.

This PR also sets the existing `toolbar.code_actions` setting to `false`
in favor of this.
Release Notes:
- Added code action indicator which shows up inline at the start of the
row. This can be disabled by setting `inline_code_actions` to `false`.
This PR adds some documentation about the minimap to the official docs.
**Please note:** The [current preview release
notes](https://zed.dev/releases/preview/0.187.0) refer to the minimap PR
for configuration options. However, `font_size` and `width` were removed
as settings after some discussion but are still referenced in the PR
description, which might be misleading. On the other hand, some of the
available configuration options are not listed in the PR description. It
might be better to refer to the docs or the default settings in order to
avoid confusion.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Adds a new `agent.model_parameters` setting that allows the user to
specify a custom temperature for a provider AND/OR model:
```json5
"model_parameters": [
// To set parameters for all requests to OpenAI models:
{
"provider": "openai",
"temperature": 0.5
},
// To set parameters for all requests in general:
{
"temperature": 0
},
// To set parameters for a specific provider and model:
{
"provider": "zed.dev",
"model": "claude-3-7-sonnet-latest",
"temperature": 1.0
}
],

Closes#29836
The agent diff toolbar item was causing the editor toolbar to show even
when all the other elements were disabled via settings.
This PR fixes this by setting the location to
`ToolbarItemLocation::Hidden` in the states where it shouldn't show.
It also adds a new a `toolbar.agent_review` setting to hide the agent
review buttons altogether. However, if the other toolbar elements are
hidden and the file isn't under review, the editor toolbar will still be
hidden. So you only need to set this to `false` if you don't want them
to show up even under agent review.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Closes#27073
Currently, when searching for a file with Ctrl+P, and the first file
found is the active one, file_finder skips focus to the second file
automatically. This PR adds a setting to disable this and make the first
file always the focused one.
Default setting is still skipping the active file.
Release Notes:
- Added the `skip_focus_for_active_in_search` setting for the file
finder, which allows turning off the default behavior of skipping focus
on the active file while searching in the file finder.

Added `snippet_sort_order`, which determines how snippets are sorted
relative to other completion items. It can have the values `top`,
`bottom`, or `inline`, with `inline` being the default.
This mimics VS Code’s setting:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editing/intellisense#_snippets-in-suggestions
Release Notes:
- Added support for `snippet_sort_order` to control snippet sorting
behavior in code completion menus.
Before, we used to debounce selection highlight because it needed to
search the whole file to show gutter line highlights, etc. This
experience felt extremely laggy.
This PR introduces a new approach where:
1. We query only visible rows without debounce. The search function
itself is async and runs in a background thread, so it's not blocking
anything. With no debounce and such a small search space, highlights
feel realtime.
2. In parallel, we also query the whole file (still debounced, like
before). Once this query resolves, it updates highlights across the
file, making scrollbar markers visible.
This hybrid way gives the feeling of realtime, while keeping the same
functionality.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/432b65f1-89d2-4658-ad5e-048921b06a23
P.S. I have removed the user setting for custom debounce delay, because
(one) now it doesn't really make sense to configure that, and (two) the
whole logic is based on the assumption that the fast query will resolve
before the debounced query. A static debounce time makes sure of that.
Configuring it might lead to cases where the fast query resolves after
the debounced query, and we end up only seeing visible viewport
highlights.
Release Notes:
- Improved selection highlight speed.
