[Sapling](https://sapling-scm.com/docs/git/git_support_modes/) is
similar to git / hg / jj in that it creates a /.sl directory when
initializing a repository. This can be added alongside the other source
control scan exclusions
includes a docs update for these defaults
Release Notes:
- Settings: Add Sapling directory to default `file_scan_exclusions`
## Context / Related PRs This PR is the third part of the encoding
support improvements, following:
- #44819: Introduced initial legacy encoding support (Shift-JIS, etc.).
- #45243: Fixed UTF-16 saving behavior and improved binary detection.
## Summary
This PR implements a status bar item that displays the character
encoding of the active buffer (e.g., `UTF-8`, `Shift_JIS`). It provides
visibility into the file's encoding and indicates the presence of a Byte
Order Mark (BOM).
## Features
- **Encoding Indicator**: Displays the encoding name in the status bar.
- **BOM Support**: Appends `(BOM)` to the encoding name if a BOM is
detected (e.g., `UTF-8 (BOM)`).
- **Configuration**: The active_encoding_button setting in status_bar
accepts "enabled", "disabled", or "non_utf8". The default is "non_utf8",
which displays the indicator for all encodings except standard UTF-8
(without BOM).
- **Settings UI**: Provides a dropdown menu in the Settings UI to
control this behavior.
- **Documentation**: Updated `configuring-zed.md` and
`visual-customization.md`.
## Implementation Details
- Created `ActiveBufferEncoding` component in
`crates/encoding_selector`.
- The click handler for the button is currently a **no-op**.
Implementing the functionality to reopen files with a specific encoding
has potential implications for real-time collaboration (e.g., syncing
buffer interpretation across peers). Therefore, this PR focuses strictly
on the visualization and configuration aspects to keep the scope simple
and focused.
- Updated schema and default settings to include
`active_encoding_button`.

/>
## Configuration
To hide the button, add the following to `settings.json`:
```json
"status_bar": {
"active_encoding_button": "disabled"
}
```
- **enabled**: Always show the encoding.
- **disabled**: Never show the encoding.
- **non_utf8**: Shows for non-UTF-8 encodings and UTF-8 with BOM. Only
hides for standard UTF-8 (Default).

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7f4f4938-3320-4d21-852c-53ee886d9a44"
/>
## Heuristic Limitations:
The underlying detection logic (implemented in #44819 and #45243)
prioritizes UTF-8 opening performance and does not guarantee perfect
detection for all encodings. We consider this margin of error
acceptable, similar to the behavior seen in VS Code. A future "Reopen
with Encoding" feature would serve as the primary fallback for any
misdetections.
Release Notes:
- Added a status bar item to display the active file's character encoding (e.g. `UTF-16`). This shows for non-utf8 files by default and can be configured with `{"status_bar":{"active_encoding_button":"disabled|enabled|non_utf8"}}`
Breadcrumb visual reorchestration which makes a couple of key changes:
- Breadcrumbs are now displayed in file headers for multibuffer views.
Singleton buffers are unchanged.
- Multibuffer views now have collapse/expand all buttons available in
the toolbar
- Search in multibuffer views now takes up less space, by occupying the
primary toolbar location erstwhile taken up by breadcrumbs

Release Notes:

- Added collapse/expand all options for multibuffer views
- Improved use of space for multibuffer search by taking the place of
the former breadcrumb toolbar location

### Closes
- Maybe https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/38252 (there might
be something going on with NPX too)
- Also addresses
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/39021#issuecomment-3644818347
### Why
Some more involved MCP servers timeout often, especially on first setup.
I got tired of having to set timeouts manually per server. I also
noticed a timeout could not be set for http context servers, which
causes Context7 or GitHub's remote servers to timeout at 60s sometimes.
### Overview
MCP Timeout Configuration Feature
This PR adds additional configurable timeout settings for Model Context
Protocol servers including a global timeout and the addition of timeouts
for http servers, addressing issues where servers were timing out after
a fixed 60 seconds regardless of user needs.
**Key Features:**
- **Global timeout setting** (`context_server_timeout`) - default
timeout for all MCP servers (default: 60s, max: 10min)
- **Per-server timeout overrides** - individual servers can specify
custom timeouts via `timeout` field
- **Precedence hierarchy** - per-server timeout > global timeout >
default (60s)
- **Automatic bounds checking** - enforces 10-minute maximum to prevent
resource exhaustion
- **Support for both transports** - works with stdio and HTTP-based
context servers
- **Comprehensive test coverage** - 3 new tests validating global,
override, and stdio timeout behavior
- **Full backward compatibility** - existing configurations work
unchanged with sensible defaults
### Release Notes:
- Added the ability to configure timeouts for context server tool calls.
The new global `context_server_timeout` setting controls the default
timeout (default is 60s, max: 10min). Additionally, per-server timeouts
can be configured using the `timeout` field within servers defined in
the `"context_servers" setting

Just like #43747 added the keybinding(s) for `settings.json`, added them
here for keymaps and added the tooltip to show those.

Release Notes:
- keymap editor: Added the ability to open the `keymap.json` file with a
keybinding.
---------
Co-authored-by: Danilo Leal <daniloleal09@gmail.com>
Ever since we launched the keymap editor, we've received feedback about
how "_creating_" a new keybinding was not obvious. At first, I was
confused about this feedback because you can't "create" a keybinding,
you need to rather _assign it_ to an action... so what always made sense
to me was to start with searching for the action, which is an use case
we already support. Regardless, having an easy to reach "create" button,
which essentially still asks for action > keystroke > arguments (if
needed) > and context, feels like a win UX-wise; a bit of a redundant
flow that feels ultimately positive.
So, this PR adds a "Create Keybinding" button to the keymap editor,
which you can reach with `cmd-k`. That will open up a modal with an
action autocomplete, the keystroke recording input, the arguments input
(if needed), and the context input.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/86f64314-4685-47bb-bb0d-72ca4c469d1f
Release Notes:
- keymap editor: Added a keybinding creation modal to make it easier to
assign an action to a keystroke.
This mimics VSCode's `files.readonlyExclude` setting, to allow setting
specific path matches as readonly locations like lockfiles and generated
sources etc.
Also renders a lock icon to the right side of the path names for
readonly files now.
This does a couple more things for completion sake:
- Tabs of readonly buffers now render a file lock icon
- Multibuffer buffer headers now render a file lock icon if the excerpts
buffer is readonly
- ReadWrite multibuffers now no longer allow edits to read only buffers
contained within
Release Notes:
- Added `read_only_files` setting to allow specifying glob patterns of
files that should not be editable by default

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.
Closes#5089
Release notes:
- Markdown lists now continue automatically when you press Enter
(unordered, ordered, and task lists). This can be configured with
`extend_list_on_newline` (default: true).
- You can now indent list markers with Tab to quickly create nested
lists. This can be configured with `indent_list_on_tab` (default: true).

Closes#13304
Release Notes:
- Add global `git status` and `git diff` on/off in one place instead of
control everywhere
We can first review to ensure this change meets both `Zed` and user
requirements, as well as code rules. Currently, we only support
user-level settings. We can wait for this PR:

modify it to support both user and project levels.
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
Otherwise, all *.json files under `zed` directory will be matched as
JSONC, e.g `zed/crates/vim/test_data/test_a.json` which is not right.

I could not find any related issue, but at least I want to use the git
panel like this :)
Being used to `lazygit`, this PR makes navigation of the git panel more
similar to the CLI tool.
Instead of selecting -> enter'ing for skimming each file, I just want to
move between the files in the git panel and have the diff multibuffer
advance to the appropriate file. This also adheres to the behavior of
the outline panel, which I like better.
If the multibuffer is not active, it behaves same as before (just
selecting the file in the panel, nothing else).
I did not modify existing `menu::Select*` actions in case anybody still
prefers previous behavior.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2d1303d4-50c8-4500-ab3b-302eb7d4afda
Release Notes:
- Improved navigation of the git panel, by advancing the "Uncommitted
Changes" multibuffer to the current selected file. To restore the old
behavior, you can bind `up` and `down` to `menu::SelectPrevious` and
`menu::SelectNext` under the `GitPanel` context in your keymap.

Reverts https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/44933.
It turns out that if you're copying agent responses to paste it anywhere
else that isn't the message editor (e.g., for a follow up prompt),
getting Markdown formatting is helpful. However, with the revert, the
underlying issue in https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/42958
remains, so I'll reopen that issue, unfortunately.
Release Notes:

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.
<img width="500" height="312" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-16 at 5 23@2x"
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.
Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/12589
Forces Zed to require user permissions before running any basic
potentially dangerous actions: parsing and synchronizing
`.zed/settings.json`, downloading and spawning any language and MCP
servers (includes `prettier` and `copilot` instances) and all
`NodeRuntime` interactions.
There are more we can add later, among the ideas: DAP downloads on
debugger start, Python virtual environment, etc.
By default, Zed starts in restricted mode and shows a `! Restricted
Mode` in the title bar, no aforementioned actions are executed.
Clicking it or calling `workspace::ToggleWorktreeSecurity` command will
bring a modal to trust worktrees or dismiss the modal:
<img width="1341" height="475" alt="1"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4fabe63a-6494-42c7-b0ea-606abb1c0c20"
/>
Agent Panel shows a message too:
<img width="644" height="106" alt="2"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0a4554bc-1f1e-455b-b97d-244d7d6a3259"
/>
This works on local, SSH and WSL remote projects, trusted worktrees are
persisted between Zed restarts.
There's a way to clear all persisted trust with
`workspace::ClearTrustedWorktrees`, this will restart Zed.
This mechanism can be turned off with settings:
```jsonc
"session": {
"trust_all_worktrees": true
}
```
in this mode, all worktrees will be trusted by default, allowing all
actions, but no auto trust will be persisted: hence, when the setting is
changed back, auto trusted worktrees will require another trust
confirmation.
This settings switch was added to the onboarding view also.
Release Notes:
- Introduced worktree trust mechanism, can be turned off with
`"session": { "trust_all_worktrees": true }`

This PR adds support for collapsing/expanding Git entries with your
keyboard like you can inside the project panel and variable list.
I noticed there is a bug that selecting the next entry when you are on
the directory level will select a non-visible entry. Will fix that in
another PR, as it is not related to this feature implementation.
**Result**:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/912cc146-1e1c-485f-9b60-5ddc0a124696
Release Notes:
- Git panel: Add support for collapsing/expanding entries with your
keyboard.
Until now, Helix-mode users would have to rely on Vim's `d *` behaviour
which cannot be reliably replicated with Helix's default delete
behaviour and so I believe that remapping this functionality to Helix's
goto mode is a better fit.
Release Notes:
- Added custom mappings for Zed specific diff and git-related actions to
Helix's goto mode:
* `g o` - toggle selected diff hunks
* `g O` - toggle staged
* `g R` - restore change
* `g u` - stage and goto next diff hunk
* `g U` - unstage and goto next diff hunk
This re-introduces the `save_file` and `restore_file_from_disk` agent
tools that were reverted in #44949.
I pushed that original PR without trying it just to get the build off my
machine, but I had missed a step: the tools weren't added to the default
profile settings in `default.json`, so they were never enabled even
though the code was present.
## Changes
- Add `save_file` and `restore_file_from_disk` to the "write" profile in
`default.json`
- Add `Thread::has_tool()` method to check tool availability at runtime
- Make `edit_file_tool`'s dirty buffer error message conditional on
whether `save_file`/`restore_file_from_disk` tools are available (so the
agent gets appropriate guidance based on what tools it actually has)
- Update test to match new conditional error message behavior
Release Notes:
- Added `save_file` and `restore_file_from_disk` agent tools to handle
dirty buffers when editing files
### Problem
PR #44411 replaced the `editor::AcceptPartialEditPrediction` action with
`editor::AcceptNextLineEditPrediction` and
`editor::AcceptNextWordEditPrediction`. However, the Linux cursor keymap
wasn't updated to reflect this change, causing a panic on startup for
Linux users.
### Solution
Updated the Linux keymap configuration to reference the new actions
Release Notes:
- N/A
Copying rendered markdown doesn't reliably do anything sensible. If we
copy text from the middle of a bold section, no formatting is copied. If
we copy text at the end, the trailing bold delimiters are copied,
resulting in gibberish markdown. Thus even fixing the associated issue
(so that leading delimeters are reliably copied) won't consistently
produce good results.
Also, as the user messages in the agent panel don't render markdown
anyway, it seems the most likely use case for copying markdown is
inapplicable.
Closes#42958
Release Notes:
- N/A
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.

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.

This PR makes zed terminal gruvbox theme consistent with other terminals
themes.
Current ansi colors is broken, by not only not using colors from
original palette, but also by inverting of bright/normal colors...
Currently I took colors from Ghostty (Iterm2 themes), making sure that
they are consistent with palette.
For dim colors I darken them by decreasing "Value" from HSV
representation of colors by 30%.
I am open to discussion and willing to implement those changes for light
theme after receiving feedback.
