Marshall BowersandBennet Bo Fenner 0b557a5f5c workspace: Only suppress auto-save on focus transfer for the Vim/Helix command palette (#51949)
This PR adjusts the logic that was added in #45166 to just apply to the
specific case of interacting with the command palette in Vim and Helix
modes (hereafter referred to collectively as "Vim mode").

In that PR, we would suppress the auto-save on focus change for _any_
modal in the workspace, regardless of whether we were actually in Vim
mode or not. This would cause issues where moving between files some
other way—such as the tab switcher or the file finder—would cause the
buffers to never be saved.

We now only suppress the auto-save on focus loss behavior when in Vim
mode and the active modal is the command palette. In all other cases, we
save the file.

Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/47968.

Supersedes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/51801 and
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/51802.

Note: the way we are identifying the active modal as the command palette
isn't the best, but @bennetbo and I didn't have any other cleaner
solutions. It's a bit tricky, as the logic lives in the `workspace`,
which isn't able to know about the `CommandPalette` due to
`command_palette` depending on `workspace`. There may be some other way
we could achieve this with more indirection, but it's unclear whether it
would be worth it at this time.

Release Notes:

- Changed `{ "autosave": "on_focus_change" }` to now always save on
focus loss, except for when activating the command palette when in
Vim/Helix mode.

Licensing

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
