This change updates the system prompt to conditionally include
`grep`-related instructions based on whether the `grep` tool is enabled.
Implementation details:
1. Add a `has_tool` handlebars helper.
2. Pass the `model` to all locations where the prompt is built.
3. Use `{{#if has_tool "grep"}}` in the system prompt to gate
`grep`-specific instructions.
Testing:
- Unit tests for the `hasTool` helper.
- Unit tests to verify that `grep`-related instructions are included /
omitted from the prompt as appropriate.
- Manual agent evaluation:
- Setup: Asked the Agent "List all impls of MyTrait in the project"
using a custom "No tools" profile (all tools disabled).
- Before the change: The Agent attempted to call `grep`, encountered an
error, then realized the tool was unavailable.
- After the change: The Agent immediately asked to enable a search tool.
Note: in principle, `grep`/`read_file` tool descriptions alone might be
enough, but to confirm this we need more evaluation. If it turns out to
be true, we'll be able to remove grep-specific instructions from the
system prompt and undo this change.
Release Notes:
- N/A
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.
There's probably more to do to fully make the transition, and we'll
still debate a bit internally whether this is the name, but just opening
this PR up now for visibility.

This has been broken for a while on linux (at least since Feb 8th!) for Assistant1.
It is also broken for Text Threads in Assitant2 (on macos and linux).
This should fix both.

Release Notes:
- Fix for `ctrl-enter` shortcut in Assistant text threads incorrectly
opening inline assist instead of triggering Send.

This PR significantly improves the quality of the initial file search
that occurs when the model doesn't yet know the full path to a file it
needs to read/edit.
Previously, the assertions in file_search often failed on main as the
model attempted to guess full file paths. On this branch, it reliably
calls `find_path` (previously `path_search`) before reading files.
After getting the model to find paths first, I noticed it would try
using `grep` instead of `path_search`. This motivated renaming
`path_search` to `find_path` (continuing the analogy to unix commands)
and adding system prompt instructions about proper tool selection.
Note: I know the command is just called `find`, but that seemed too
general.
In my eval runs, the `file_search` example improved from 40% ± 10% to
98% ± 2%. The only assertion I'm seeing occasionally fail is "glob
starts with `**` or project". We can probably add some instructions in
that regard.

Closes#29087
Release Notes:
- Changed default bindings for splitting terminals from `ctrl-k
{up,down,left,right}` to `ctrl-alt-{up,down,left,right}`. `ctrl-k` is
used by Readline to cut to the end of the line.
Closes#4495
Release Notes:
- vim: add cursor shape settings for each vim mode
---
Add cursor shape settings for each vim mode to enable users to specify
them.
Example of `settings.json`:
```json
{
"vim_mode": true,
"vim": {
"cursor_shape": {
"normal": "hollow",
"insert": "bar",
"replace": "block",
"visual": "underline"
}
}
}
```
After this change is applied,
- The cursor shape specified by the user for each mode is used.
- In insert mode, the `vim > cursor_shape > insert` setting takes
precedence over the primary `cursor_shape` setting.
- If `vim > cursor_shape > insert` is not set, the primary
`cursor_shape` will be used in insert mode.
- The cursor shape will remain unchanged before and after this update
when the user does not set the `vim > cursor_shape` setting.

This was broken when we added helix keybindings because we populate the
menu's shortcut based on the "last" seen binding for an action ignoring
context.
Release Notes:
- Fix `ctrl-c` in vim normal mode
This PR renames the `regex_search` tool to `grep` because I think it
conveys more meaning to the model, the idea of searching the filesystem
with a regular expression. It's also one word and the model seems to be
using it effectively after some additional prompt tuning.
It also takes an include pattern to filter on the specific files we try
to search. I'd like to encourage the model to scope its searches more
aggressively, as in my testing, I'm only seeing it filter on file
extension.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Release Notes:
- Made keybindings for agent panel closer to the precedence order used
on Mac. This fixes use of `enter` to add context from the menu triggered
by `@` referencing.
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.
Alt+. is a useful terminal/readline feature that cycles through the last
arguments of previous commands in history. Unlike many other shortcuts,
it doesn't conflict with anything important globally, so it can be
safely enabled by default.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Now that we've established a proper eval in tree, this PR is reboots of
our agent loop back to a set of minimal tools and simpler prompts. We
should aim to get this branch feeling subjectively competitive with
what's on main and then merge it, and build from there.
Let's invest in our eval and use it to drive better performance of the
agent loop. How you can help: Pick an example, and then make the outcome
faster or better. It's fine to even use your own subjective judgment, as
our evaluation criteria likely need tuning as well at this point. Focus
on making the agent work better in your own subjective experience first.
Let's focus on simple/practical improvements to make this thing work
better, then determine how we can craft our judgment criteria to lock
those improvements in.
Release Notes:
- N/A

Related to #28490.
- Default prompts from the prompt library are now included as "user
rules" in the system prompt.
- Presence of these user rules is shown at the beginning of the thread
in the UI.
_ Now uses an `Entity<PromptStore>` instead of an `Arc<PromptStore>`.
Motivation for this is emitting a `PromptsUpdatedEvent`.
- Now disallows concurrent reloading of the system prompt. Before this
change it was possible for reloads to race.
Release Notes:
- agent: Added support for including default prompts from the Prompt
Library as "user rules" in the system prompt.

The `outline_panel::Open` action seems to open the outline panel, but
instead, it moves the editor's cursor to the position of the selected
entry in the outline panel. This PR renames it to
`outline_panel::OpenSelectedEntry` for better clarity.
Meanwhile, there is an existing action, `outline_panel::ToggleFocus`,
that should be used for opening the outline panel.
Todo:
- [x] Added migration
Release Notes:
- Renamed `outline_panel::Open` to `outline_panel::OpenSelectedEntry`
for better clarity.
Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/19731
Adds `editor::GoToPreviousChange` and `editor::GoToNextChange` that work
the same as `vim::ChangeListOlder` and `vim::ChangeListNewer` as the
common logic was extracted and reused.
Release Notes:
- Added a way to navigate between changes with
`editor::GoToPreviousChange` and `editor::GoToNextChange`
Staff only for now. We'll work on making this usable for non zed.dev
users later

This is a combination of the "read file" and "list directory contents"
tools as part of a push to reduce our quantity of builtin tools by
combining some of them.
The functionality is all there for this tool, although there's room for
improvement on the visuals side: it currently always shows the same icon
and always says "Read" - so you can't tell at a glance when it's reading
a directory vs an individual file. Changing this will require a change
to the `Tool` trait, which can be in a separate PR. (FYI @danilo-leal!)

Closes#7903
Release Notes:
- Add new actions `editor::FindNextMatch` and
`editor::FindPreviousMatch` that are similar to `editor::SelectNext` and
`editor::SelectPrevious` with `"replace_newest": true`, but jumps to the
first or last selection when there are multiple selections.
This PR allows expanding the message editor textarea to fit almost the
total height of the Agent Panel. Stylistically, I'm also changing the
font family we use in the textarea to use the buffer font; want to
experiment with this for a bit.
Release Notes:
- agent: The Agent Panel textarea can now be expanded to fill almost the
total height of the panel.

Having a separate rename tool seems to make the agent more likely to use
it compared to having it be part of the code actions tool.
Release Notes:

reminder messages, e.g. tool-specific ones.

A small addition for those coming from JetBrain's IDEs. A behavioral
detail: when any upper case character is detected, the command defaults
to toggling to lower case.
> Note that when you apply the toggle case action to the CamelCase name
format, IntelliJ IDEA converts the name to the lower case.
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/working-with-source-code.html#edit_code_fragments
Release Notes:
- Added an `editor: toggle case` command. Use `cmd-shift-u` for macOS
and `ctrl-shift-u` for Linux, when using the `JetBrains` keymap.
Adds actions so you can have customized keybindings for `insert` and
`replace` modes.
And add `shift-enter` as a default for `replace`, this will override the
default setting
`completions.lsp_insert_mode` which is set to `replace_suffix`, which
tries to "smartly"
decide whether to replace or insert based on the surrounding text.
For those who come from VSCode, if you want to mimic their behavior, you
only have to
set `completions.lsp_insert_mode` to `insert`.
If you want `tab` and `enter` to do different things, you need to remap
them, here is
an example:
```jsonc
[
// ...
{
"context": "Editor && showing_completions",
"bindings": {
"enter": "editor::ConfirmCompletionInsert",
"tab": "editor::ConfirmCompletionReplace"
}
},
]
```
Closes#24577
- [x] Make LSP completion insertion mode decision in guest's machine
(host is currently deciding it and not allowing guests to have their own
setting for it)
- [x] Add shift-enter as a hotkey for `replace` by default.
- [x] Test actions.
- [x] Respect the setting being specified per language, instead of using
the "defaults".
- [x] Move `insert_range` of `Completion` to the Lsp variant of
`.source`.
- [x] Fix broken default, forgotten after
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/27453#pullrequestreview-2736906628,
should be `replace_suffix` and not `insert`.
Release Notes:
- LSP completions: added actions `ConfirmCompletionInsert` and
`ConfirmCompletionReplace` that control how completions are inserted,
these override `completions.lsp_insert_mode`, by default, `shift-enter`
triggers `ConfirmCompletionReplace` which replaces the whole word.
Release Notes:
- Adjusted system prompt to direct it to never act on TODO-type comments
it encounters, unless the user directly asked it to do so or they relate
to the current task at hand.
