Follow up to https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/55542, which reused the shifted offset for the rename input's *initial selection*, cutting it one character short. <img width="524" height="512" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/37032614-2cfd-4ad4-9005-f2eac57924a1" /> <img width="435" height="158" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7b1b9c52-08d6-48ce-928a-873f6e175f65" /> --- Release Notes: - Fixed symbol rename in vim mode omitting the last character of the symbol out of the rename input's initial selection
This contains the code for Zed's Vim emulation mode.
Vim mode in Zed is supposed to primarily "do what you expect": it mostly tries to copy vim exactly, but will use Zed-specific functionality when available to make things smoother. This means Zed will never be 100% vim compatible, but should be 100% vim familiar!
The backlog is maintained in the #vim channel notes.
Testing against Neovim
If you are making a change to make Zed's behavior more closely match vim/nvim, you can create a test using the NeovimBackedTestContext.
For example, the following test checks that Zed and Neovim have the same behavior when running * in visual mode:
#[gpui::test]
async fn test_visual_star_hash(cx: &mut gpui::TestAppContext) {
let mut cx = NeovimBackedTestContext::new(cx).await;
cx.set_shared_state("ˇa.c. abcd a.c. abcd").await;
cx.simulate_shared_keystrokes(["v", "3", "l", "*"]).await;
cx.assert_shared_state("a.c. abcd ˇa.c. abcd").await;
}
To keep CI runs fast, by default the neovim tests use a cached JSON file that records what neovim did (see crates/vim/test_data), but while developing this test you'll need to run it with the neovim flag enabled:
cargo test -p vim --features neovim test_visual_star_hash
This will run your keystrokes against a headless neovim and cache the results in the test_data directory. Note that neovim must be installed and reachable on your $PATH in order to run the feature.
Testing zed-only behavior
Zed does more than vim/neovim in their default modes. The VimTestContext can be used instead. This lets you test integration with the language server and other parts of zed's UI that don't have a NeoVim equivalent.
