This PR removes onboarding modals for features that were announced, at
this point, a long time ago: Git v1, Debugger, and Agent Panel v1. This
cleans up the actions list a bit when you search for "onboarding". I
left the ACP and Claude Code ones, though; they were the two more recent
ones, but we should be able to remove them soon enough, too.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Remove the `AgentsPanel` (from the `agent_ui_v2` crate) and the utility
pane infrastructure from the codebase.
The Agents Panel was a separate panel gated behind the `agent-v2`
feature flag that was redundant with the existing Agent Panel. Utility
panes were a layout concept (secondary panes next to the editor,
separate from dock panels) whose only consumer was `AgentThreadPane` in
the Agents Panel.
### Changes
- Deleted the entire `agent_ui_v2` crate (`agents_panel.rs`,
`agent_thread_pane.rs`)
- Deleted `workspace/src/utility_pane.rs`
- Removed `UtilityPane`, `UtilityPaneHandle`, `UtilityPanePosition`,
`MinimizePane`, `ClosePane` from `workspace/src/dock.rs`
- Removed all utility pane fields, methods, and render blocks from
`workspace.rs`
- Removed all aside toggle code from `pane.rs` and `pane_group.rs`
- Removed `agents_panel_dock` setting from agent settings and
`default.json`
- Removed all `agent_ui_v2` references from `main.rs`, `zed.rs`, and
Cargo.toml files
- Cleaned up test code in `tool_permissions.rs` and `agent_ui.rs`
Closes AI-17

Thanks @injust for pointing this out. It seems a few other action docs
were also copied from elsewhere and weren't updated to reflect their
actual purpose. This PR fixes those, though I may not have covered all
of them.

Hi,
This PR fixes nothing. I just miss the option to open recent projects
quickly upon opening Zed, so I made this. Hope I can see it soon in
Preview channel.
If there is any suggestion, just comment. I will take it seriously.
Thank you!

Release Notes:
- Added a new value to the `restore_on_startup` setting called
`launchpad`. This value makes Zed open with a variant of the welcome
screen ("the launchpad") upon startup. Additionally, this same page
variant is now also what is displayed if you close all tabs in an
existing window that doesn't contain any folders open. The launchpad
page shows you up to 5 recent projects, making it easy to open something
you were working recently.

Partially addresses #11473
MVP of dev containers with the following capabilities:
- If in a project with `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json`, a pop-up
notification will ask if you want to open the project in a dev
container. This can be dismissed:
<img width="1478" height="1191" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-08 at 3 15
23 PM"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ec2e20d6-28ec-4495-8f23-4c1d48a9ce78"
/>
- Similarly, if a `devcontainer.json` file is in the project, you can
open a devcontainer (or go the devcontainer.json file for further
editing) via the `open remote` modal:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/61f2fdaa-2808-4efc-994c-7b444a92c0b1
*Limitations*
This is a first release, and comes with some limitations:
- Zed extensions are not managed in `devcontainer.json` yet. They will
need to be installed either on host or in the container. Host +
Container sync their extensions, so there is not currently a concept of
what is installed in the container vs what is installed on host: they
come from the same list of manifests
- This implementation uses the [devcontainer
CLI](https://github.com/devcontainers/cli) for its control plane. Hence,
it does not yet support the `forwardPorts` directive. A single port can
be opened with `appPort`. See reference in docs
[here](https://github.com/devcontainers/cli/tree/main/example-usage#how-the-tool-examples-work)
- Editing devcontainer.json does not automatically cause the dev
container to be rebuilt. So if you add features, change images, etc, you
will need to `docker kill` the existing dev container before proceeding.
- Currently takes a hard dependency on `docker` being available in the
user's `PATH`.
Release Notes:
- Added ability to Open a project in a DevContainer, provided a
`.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` is present

This PR makes the `OpenProjectSettings` action open the settings UI in
project settings mode for the first visible worktree, instead of opening
the file. It also adds a `OpenProjectSettingsFile` action that maintains
the old behavior.
Finally, this PR partially fixes a bug where the settings UI won't load
project settings when the settings window is loaded before opening a
project/workspace. This happens because the global `app_state` isn't
correct in the `Subscription` that refreshes the available setting files
to open. The bug is still present in some cases, but it's out of scope
for this PR.
Release Notes:
- settings ui: Project Settings action now opens settings UI instead of
a file

Worktree creations are implemented similar to how branch creations are
handled on the branch picker (the user types a new name that's not on
the list and a new entry option appears to create a new branch with that
name).
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/39e58983-740c-4a91-be88-57ef95aed85b
With this picker you have a few workflows:
- Open the picker and type the name of a branch that's checked out on an
existing worktree:
- Press enter to open the worktree on a new window
- Press ctrl-enter to open the worktree and replace the current window
- Open the picker and type the name of a new branch or an existing one
that's not checked out in another worktree:
- Press enter to create the worktree and open in a new window. If the
branch doesn't exists, we will create a new one based on the branch you
have currently checked out. If the branch does exists then we create a
worktree with that branch checked out.
- Press ctrl-enter to do everything on the previous point but instead,
replace the current window with the new worktre.
- Open the picker and type the name of a new branch or an existing one
that's not checked out in another worktree:
- If a default branch is detected on the repo, you can create a new
worktree based on that branch by pressing ctrl-enter or
ctrl-shift-enter. The first one will open a new window and the last one
will replace the current one.
Note: If you preffer to not use the system prompt for choosing a
directory, you can set `"use_system_path_prompts": false` in zed
settings.
Release Notes:
- Added git worktree picker to open a git worktree on a new window or
replace the current one
- Added git worktree creation action

Very often, when I'm testing or playing around with the zoom feature,
including the agent panel, I find myself missing one quick action that
would bring everything back to normal. That's what `ResetAllZoom` does.
If you have customized your zoom level in all areas of Zed, that action
returns everything to its default state. Similarly, if you're playing
around with zoom just in the agent panel, `ResetAgentZoom` does the same
in that context.
Release Notes:
- Added the `ResetAllZoom` and `ResetAgentZoom ` actions, allowing to
return the zoom level across the whole app and/or just in the agent
panel to its default/original value.
This PR renames the `agent::QuoteSelection` to
`agent::AddSelectionToThread` _and_ adds it as a menu item in both the
right-click context menu within regular buffers as well as the
"Selection" app menu.
We've received feedback in the past about how hard to discover this
feature is, and after watching [the Syntax podcast
crew](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRK3PeVFfVE) recently struggle
with doing so—and then naturally looking for it in the context menu and
not finding it—it felt like time to push a change. I think the rename +
the availability in these places could help bringing it to surface more.
The same action can be done in Cursor through the `cmd-l` keybinding,
but in Zed, that triggers `editor::SelectLine`, which I don't want to
override by default. However, if you're using Cursor's keymap, then
`cmd-l` does trigger this action, as expected.

Release Notes:
- agent: Improves discoverability of the previously called "quote
selection" action—which allows to add a text selection in a buffer as
context within the agent panel—by renaming it to "add selection to
thread" and making it available from the right-click editor context menu
as well as the "Selection" app menu.
This PR renames the following actions to make it easier and prioritize
the UI version of interacting with them:
| Before | After |
|--------|--------|
| `OpenSettingsEditor` | `OpenSettings` |
| `OpenSettings` | `OpenSettingsFile` |
| `OpenKeymapEditor` | `OpenKeymap` |
| `OpenKeymap` | `OpenKeymapFile` |
Release Notes:
- Rename actions to open settings (UI/window and JSON file) as well as
to open the keymap (editor tab and JSON file).
The feedback modal did not match our keyboard-driven design. We can
revisit this later if we want, but for now, removing it makes sense. All
actions have been inlined in the `Help` menu to maintain
discoverability.
Additionally, not all feedback-based actions in the command palette were
namespaced under `feedback:`, and now they are, so they can all be found
there easily.
Release Notes:
- Notice: The `Give Feedback` modal has been removed. The options to
file bug reports, feature requests, email us, and open the Zed
repository can now be found within the `Help` menu directly. The command
palette actions have undergone the following changes:
- `feedback: give feedback` (removed)
- `feedback: file bug report` (no change)
- `zed: request feature` → `feedback: request feature`
- `zed: email zed` → `feedback: email zed`
- `zed: open zed repo` → `contribute: open zed repo`

Settings Profiles
- [X] Allow profiles to be defined, where each profile can be any of
Zed's settings
- [X] Autocompletion of all settings
- [X] Errors on invalid keys
- [X] Action brings up modal that shows user-defined profiles
- [X] Alphabetize profiles
- [X] Ability to filter down via keyboard, and navigate via arrow up and
down
- [X] Auto select Disabled option by default (first in list, after
alphabetizing user-defined profiles)
- [X] Automatically select active profile on next picker summoning
- [X] Persist settings until toggled off
- [X] Show live preview as you select from the profile picker
- [X] Tweaking a setting, while in a profile, updates the profile live
- [X] Make sure actions that live update Zed, such as `cmd-0`, `cmd-+`,
and `cmd--`, work while in a profile
- [X] Add a test to track state
Release Notes:
- Added the ability to configure settings profiles, via the "profiles"
key. Example:
```json
{
"profiles": {
"Streaming": {
"agent_font_size": 20,
"buffer_font_size": 20,
"theme": "One Light",
"ui_font_size": 20
}
}
}
```
To set a profile, use `settings profile selector: toggle`
"Settings" is the terminology we use in the agent panel, thus having the
action use "configuration" makes it harder for folks to find this either
via the command palette or the keybinding editor UI in case they'd like
to change it.
Release Notes:
- agent: Renamed the "open configuration" action to "open settings" for
better discoverability and consistency
This includes making sure that both the agent panel and Zed's edit
prediction have a consistent narrative when it comes to onboarding users
into the AI features, considering the possible different plans and
conditions (such as being signed in/out, account age, etc.)

Closes #ISSUE
Adds a new `documentation` method to actions, that is extracted from doc
comments when using the `actions!` or derive macros.
Additionally, this PR adds doc comments to as many action definitions in
Zed as possible.
Release Notes:
- N/A *or* Added/Fixed/Improved ...
Instead of a menagerie of macros for implementing `Action`, now there
are just two:
* `actions!(editor, [MoveLeft, MoveRight])`
* `#[derive(..., Action)]` with `#[action(namespace = editor)]`
In both contexts, `///` doc comments can be provided and will be used in
`JsonSchema`.
In both contexts, parameters can provided in `#[action(...)]`:
- `namespace = some_namespace` sets the namespace. In Zed this is
required.
- `name = "ActionName"` overrides the action's name. This must not
contain "::".
- `no_json` causes the `build` method to always error and
`action_json_schema` to return `None`
and allows actions not implement `serde::Serialize` and
`schemars::JsonSchema`.
- `no_register` skips registering the action. This is useful for
implementing the `Action` trait
while not supporting invocation by name or JSON deserialization.
- `deprecated_aliases = ["editor::SomeAction"]` specifies deprecated old
names for the action.
These action names should *not* correspond to any actions that are
registered. These old names
can then still be used to refer to invoke this action. In Zed, the
keymap JSON schema will
accept these old names and provide warnings.
- `deprecated = "Message about why this action is deprecation"`
specifies a deprecation message.
In Zed, the keymap JSON schema will cause this to be displayed as a
warning. This is a new feature.
Also makes the following changes since this seems like a good time to
make breaking changes:
* In `zed.rs` tests adds a test with an explicit list of namespaces. The
rationale for this is that there is otherwise no checking of `namespace
= ...` attributes.
* `Action::debug_name` renamed to `name_for_type`, since its only
difference with `name` was that it
* `Action::name` now returns `&'static str` instead of `&str` to match
the return of `name_for_type`. This makes the action trait more limited,
but the code was already assuming that `name_for_type` is the same as
`name`, and it requires `&'static`. So really this just makes the trait
harder to misuse.
* Various action reflection methods now use `&'static str` instead of
`SharedString`.
Release Notes:
- N/A
