Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/54545 With the release of the parallel agents feature, we changed the default panel positions optimizing for an agentic-first layout. Even though we introduced a settings backfill _and_ the ability to revert after interacting with the announcement toast, this change seems to be causing a bit of frustration still. In response, this PR adds a "Panel Layout" menu in the user menu that allows to quickly toggle between the "Classic" layout and the "Agentic" layout. If you have a different set up, you'll see a "custom" item there just confirming that. | Panel Layout | Custom set up | |--------|--------| | <img width="1110" height="866" alt="Screenshot 2026-04-24 at 12 52@2x" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/197fc4ec-b4b3-4b13-bcb3-9d3495cf0d0a" /> | <img width="1156" height="866" alt="Screenshot 2026-04-24 at 12 55@2x" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ca791b1b-eb6a-47a9-8aa5-c2015f33e5bd" /> | Release Notes: - Added a menu item in the user menu called "Panel Layout" which offers the ability to quickly swap between the two standard panel layouts: classic (project panel, git panel, etc., on the left) and agentic (agent panel on the left, everything else on the right).
