Summary
This PR adds the ability to quote terminal selections into Agent
threads, similar to how editor selections can be quoted. Users can now
select text in the terminal and add it as context to their agent
conversation.
### Features
- **Context menu**: Added "Add to Agent Thread" option to the terminal's
right-click menu (only shows when text is selected)
- **Keyboard shortcut**: The existing `cmd->` / `ctrl->` shortcut now
works in the terminal
- **Collapsed display**: Terminal output appears as a collapsed
"Terminal" crease in the chat, just like code references
- **Works with both thread types**: Supports both ACP-style threads
(Claude Code) and text threads
### Implementation
- Extended `quote_selection` handler to check for terminal panel focus
after checking for editor selections
- Terminal content is formatted as ` ```terminal` code blocks via new
`insert_terminal_crease` method
- Refactored crease insertion into `insert_crease_impl` helper to
support both code snippets (with `TextSnippet` icon) and terminal output
(with `Terminal` icon)
- Added automatic detection and folding of ` ```terminal` blocks in
`set_message` so terminal content stays collapsed in sent message
history
- Terminal creases use a trailing space instead of newline so cursor
behavior matches user expectations
### Demo
1. Select text in terminal
2. Right-click → "Add to Agent Thread" (or press `cmd->`)
3. Terminal content appears as collapsed "Terminal" block in chat
4. Send message - AI receives full terminal output, but chat history
shows it collapsed
### General note
I'm new to open source and the codebase in general so let me know if
anything should be different!
I tried to stay in line with other patterns I saw.
I didn't see a way to setup an end to end test with a real terminal so I
just added a unit test for the adding of the text to the chat, if it
exists and I missed it then I think the test coverage could be improved
with a test that uses a real terminal + running the command

Happy New Years! This PR is a second take at
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/38127 (cc @ConradIrwin)
This PR is significantly less complicated than the last attempt: while
we still keep our data on the `NavigationHistory` object, we no longer
tightly integrate it with the existing back/forward "browser history."
Instead, we keep our own stack of `(origin, target)` pairs (in a struct
to make it easy to extend with e.g., tag names in the future).
The PR is split into two separable commits. Most of the implementation
is in the second commit, which:
- Defines the stack data structure
- Implements `pane::GoToOlderTag` and `pane::GoToNewerTag` in terms of
the stack
- Hooks into `navigate_to_hover_links` to push tag stack entries
This last bit is the most fiddly. The core challenge is that we need to
keep track of the `origin` location and calculate the `target` location
across three codepaths that might involve creating a new editor and/or
splitting the pane. One thing in particular I found difficult was that
an editor's `nav_history` (an `ItemNavHistory`) seems to be populated
asynchronously. Instead of relying on it, I decided in this code to make
my own `ItemNavHistory`. I briefly tried to refactor the code in
question, but it seemed like it would significantly increase the scope
of the change.
I prefer this all-in-one tracking centered around
`navigate_to_hover_links ` to the `start/finish` approach taken in
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/commit/b69a2ea200561de9de0edf4d0c4428ee887fb918
because I find it easier to convince myself that the right data is being
populated at the right times. Of course, let me know if you think
there's a better solution.
Closes#14206

editable text field with confirm/cancel buttons
- **Delete functionality**: Remove individual comments
- **Send Review to Agent**: Toolbar button with badge showing comment
count, batch-submits all comments across all files/hunks to the Agent
panel
- **User avatars**: Shows the current user's avatar (from their Zed
account) next to comments, falls back to Person icon when not logged in
- **Visual tests**: Added tests for one comment, multiple comments
expanded, and comments collapsed
Note that this is behind a feature flag, so no release notes yet.

This PR adds the ability to favorite models for external agents—writing
to the settings in the `agent_servers` key—as well as a handful of other
improvements:
- Make the cycling keybinding `alt-enter` work for the inline assistant
as well as previous user messages
- Better organized the keybinding files removing some outdated
agent-related keybinding definitions
- Renamed the inline assistant key context to "InlineAssistant" as
"PromptEditor" is old and confusing
- Made the keybindings to rate an inline assistant response visible in
the thumbs up/down button's tooltip
- Created a unified component for the model selector tooltip given we
had 3 different places creating the same element
- Make the "Cycle Favorited Models" row in the tooltip visible only if
there is more than one favorite models
Release Notes:
- agent: External agents also now support the favoriting model feature,
which comes with a handy keybinding to cycle through the favorite list.
Follow up to #42982
Release Notes:
- agent: Allow pasting code without formatting via ctrl/cmd-shift-v.
- agent: Fixed an issue where pasting a single line of code would always
insert an @mention
Closes #ISSUE
Problem:
- The status bar’s pending keystroke indicator (shown next to --NORMAL--
in Vim mode) didn’t clear when focus moved to another context, e.g.
hitting g in the editor then clicking the Git panel. The keymap state
correctly canceled the prefix, but observers that render the indicator
never received a “pending input changed” notification, so the UI kept
showing stale prefixes until a new keystroke occurred.
Fix:
- The change introduces a `pending_input_changed_queued` flag and a new
helper `notify_pending_input_if_needed` which will flushes the queued
notification as soon as we have an App context. The
`pending_input_changed` now resets the flag after notifying subscribers.

immediately when focus moves to another panel or UI context.

Similar to how you can use `shift-tab` to cycle through profiles/modes,
you can now use `alt-tab` to cycle through the language models you have
favorited.

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/006d417d-5da1-48f9-82cc-ea06e28adb30"
/>
Release Notes:
- agent: Added the ability to cycle through favorited models using the
`alt-tab` keybinding.
This PR solves my main pain point with Zed agent: I have a long list of
available models from different providers, and I switch between a few of
them depending on the context and the project. In particular, I use the
same models from different providers depending on whether I'm working on
a personal project or at my day job. Since I only care about a few
models (none of which are in "recommended") that are scattered all over
the list, switching between them is bothersome, even using search.
This change adds a new option in `settings.json`
(`agent.favorite_models`) and the UI to manipulate it directly from the
list of available models. When any models are marked as favorites, they
appear in a dedicated section at the very top of the list. Each model
has a small icon button that appears on hover and allows to toggle
whether it's marked as favorite.
I implemented this on the UI level (i.e. there's no first-party
knowledge about favorite models in the agent itself; in theory it could
return favorite models as a group but it would make it harder to
implement bespoke UI for the favorite models section and it also
wouldn't work for text threads which don't use the ACP infrastructure).
The feature is only enabled for the native agent but disabled for
external agents because we can't easily map their model IDs to settings
and there could be weird collisions between them.

Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/31507
Release Notes:
- Added the ability to mark language models as favorites and pin them to
the top of the list. This feature is available in the native Zed agent
(including text threads and the inline assistant), but not in external
agents via ACP.

This PR adds back the footer with the "Configure" button in the model
selector but only when the seeing it from the Zed agent (or inline
assistant/text threads). I had removed it a while back because seeing
the "Configure" button, which takes you to the agent panel settings
view, when clicking from an external agent didn't make much sense, given
there's nothing model-wise you can configure from Zed (at least yet) for
an external agent.
This also makes the button in the footer a bit nicer by making it full
screen and displaying a keybinding, so that you can easily do the whole
"trigger model selector → go to settings view" all with the keyboard.

This PR introduces a new `MultiBufferOffset` new type wrapping size. The
goal of this is to make it clear at the type level when we are
interacting with offsets of a multi buffer versus offsets of a language
/ text buffer. This improves readability of things quite a bit by making
it clear what kind of offsets one is working with while also reducing
accidental bugs by using the wrong kin of offset for the wrong API.
This PR also uncovered two minor bugs due to that.
Does not yet introduce the MultiBufferPoint equivalent, that is for a
follow up PR.

Closes#41125
Release Notes:
- Fixed `SwitchToHelixNormalMode` to keep selection
- Added default keybinds for `SwitchToHelixNormalMode` when in Helix
mode
Previously we had `Context` and `ContextStore` in both `agent_ui` (used
to store context for the inline assistant) and `assistant_context` (used
for text threads) which is confusing.
This PR makes it so that the `assistant_context` concepts are now called
`TextThread*`, the crate was renamed to `assistant_text_thread`
Release Notes:
- N/A
Closes#39172
This refactors when we resolve UI keybindings in an effort to reduce
flickering whilst painting these: Previously, we would always resolve
these upon creating the binding. This could lead to cases where the
corresponding context was not yet available and no binding could be
resolved, even if the binding was then available on the next presented
frame. Following that, on the next rerender of whatever requested this
keybinding, the keybind for that context would then be found, we would
render that and then also win a layout shift in that process, as we went
from nothing rendered to something rendered between these frames.
With these changes, this now happens less often, because we only look
for the keybinding once the context can actually be resolved in the
window.

Also reduced cloning in the keymap editor in this process, since that
requiered changing due to this anyway.
Release Notes:
- Fixed some cases where keybinds would appear with a slight delay,
causing a flicker in the process
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 re-applies the initial
[PR](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/30840). As it was closed
because it was hard to land, because of the many conflicts. This PR
re-applies the changes for it.
In several cases we were creating multiple display_map
snapshots within the same root-level function call.
Creating a display_map snapshot is quite slow, and in some
cases we were creating the snapshot multiple times.

`MultiBuffer::anchor_in_excerpt` currently just wraps the given text
anchor in a multibuffer anchor. This allows one to get a multibuffer
anchor that points outside its excerpt which is basically never what one
wants. This PR now does a bounds check and returns `None` if the given
text anchor is not within the bounds of the excerpt.

Making all triggers have the same style when the picker is open

### Background
On Windows, paths are normally separated by `\`, unlike mac and linux
where they are separated by `/`. When editing code in a project that
uses a different path style than your local system (e.g. remoting from
Windows to Linux, using WSL, and collaboration between windows and unix
users), the correct separator for a path may differ from the "native"
separator.
Previously, to work around this, Zed converted paths' separators in
numerous places. This was applied to both absolute and relative paths,
leading to incorrect conversions in some cases.
### Solution
Many code paths in Zed use paths that are *relative* to either a
worktree root or a git repository. This PR introduces a dedicated type
for these paths called `RelPath`, which stores the path in the same way
regardless of host platform, and offers `Path`-like manipulation APIs.
RelPath supports *displaying* the path using either separator, so that
we can display paths in a style that is determined at runtime based on
the current project.
The representation of absolute paths is left untouched, for now.
Absolute paths are different from relative paths because (except in
contexts where we know that the path refers to the local filesystem)
they should generally be treated as opaque strings. Currently we use a
mix of types for these paths (std::path::Path, String, SanitizedPath).

This PR fixes an issue where extension operations would never show in
the activity indicator despite this being implemented for ages. This
happened because we were always returning `None` whenever the app has a
global auto updater, which is always the case, so the code path for
showing extension updates in the indicator could never be hit despite
existing prior. Also slightly improves the messages shown for ongoing
extension operations, as these were previously context unaware.
While I was at this, I also quickly took a stab at cleaning up some
remotely related stuff, namely:
- The `AnimationExt` trait is now by default only implemented for
anything that also implements `IntoElement`. This prevents
`with_animation` from showing up for e.g. `u32` within the suggestions
(finally).
- Commonly used animations are now implemented in the
`CommonAnimationExt` trait within the `ui` crate so the needed code does
not always need to be copied and element IDs for the animations are
truly unique.
Relevant change here regarding the original issue is the change from the
`return match` to just a `match` within the activitiy indicator, which
solved the issue at hand.
If we find this to be too noisy at some point, we can easily revisit,
but I think this holds important enough information to be shown in the
activity indicator, especially whilst developing extensions.
Release Notes:
- Extension installation and updates will now be shown in the activity
indicator.
Users now accept ToS from Zed's website when they sign in to Zed the
first time. So it's no longer possible that a signed in account could
not have accepted the ToS.

This removes around 900 unnecessary clones, ranging from cloning a few
ints all the way to large data structures and images.
A lot of these were fixed using `cargo clippy --fix --workspace
--all-targets`, however it often breaks other lints and needs to be run
again. This was then followed up with some manual fixing.
I understand this is a large diff, but all the changes are pretty
trivial. Rust is doing some heavy lifting here for us. Once I get it up
to speed with main, I'd appreciate this getting merged rather sooner
than later.
