Release Notes: - N/A Overview Restructures the documentation navigation to be organized by user goals rather than feature lists. Introduces a new "Working with Code" section and reorganizes existing content into clearer groupings. ### Navigation Changes **New top-level sections:** - **Working with Code** — Groups editing, navigation, and execution features by workflow - **Reference** — Dedicated section for lookup-only content (settings, actions, CLI) - **Coming From...** — Migration guides grouped together **Reorganized sections:** - **Customization** — Renamed from "Configuration," focused on appearance and keybindings - **Account & Privacy** — Consolidated auth, privacy, and telemetry pages New Files | File | Purpose | |------|---------| | `editing-code.md` | Overview page for editing features | | `finding-navigating.md` | Overview page for navigation tools with quick reference | | `running-testing.md` | Overview page for tasks, debugger, and REPL | | `reference/all-settings.md` | Settings reference (moved/renamed) | | `reference/cli.md` | CLI reference (moved) | ### Content Moves | Page | From | To | |------|------|-----| | Snippets | Customization | Working with Code → Editing Code | | Code Completions | (flat) | Working with Code → Editing Code | | Diagnostics | (flat) | Working with Code → Editing Code | | Multibuffers | (flat) | Working with Code → Editing Code | | Command Palette | (flat) | Working with Code → Finding & Navigating | | Outline Panel | (flat) | Working with Code → Finding & Navigating | | Tab Switcher | (flat) | Working with Code → Finding & Navigating | | Tasks | (flat) | Working with Code → Running & Testing | | Debugger | (flat) | Working with Code → Running & Testing | | REPL | (flat) | Working with Code → Running & Testing | | All Settings | Configuration | Reference | | CLI | (various) | Reference --------- Co-authored-by: Marshall Bowers <git@maxdeviant.com> Co-authored-by: Zed Zippy <234243425+zed-zippy[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

Running & Testing
This section covers how to run, test, and debug your code without leaving Zed.
What's here
-
Terminal: Zed's built-in terminal emulator. Open multiple terminals, customize your shell, and integrate with the editor. Tasks and commands run here.
-
Tasks: Define and run shell commands with access to editor context like the current file, selection, or symbol. Use tasks to build, lint, run scripts, or execute any repeatable workflow.
-
Debugger: Set breakpoints, step through code, and inspect variables using Zed's built-in debugger. Works with C, C++, Go, JavaScript, Python, Rust, TypeScript, and more through the Debug Adapter Protocol.
-
REPL: Run code interactively using Jupyter kernels. Execute selections or cells and see results inline—useful for Python, TypeScript (Deno), R, Julia, and other supported languages.
Quick start
Open a terminal: Press Ctrl+` to toggle the terminal panel, or Ctrl+~ to open a new terminal.
Run a command: Press Cmd+Shift+R (macOS) or Ctrl+Shift+R (Linux/Windows) to open the task picker, then type any shell command.
Start debugging: Press Cmd+Shift+D (macOS) or Ctrl+Shift+D (Linux/Windows) to open the debug panel and select a configuration.
Run code interactively: In a Python or TypeScript file, select some code and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to execute it in a REPL session.
