The `}` and `{` paragraph motions now correctly treat only truly empty
lines (zero characters) as paragraph boundaries, matching vim's
documented behavior. Whitespace-only lines are no longer treated as
boundaries.
Changed `start_of_paragraph()` and `end_of_paragraph()` in
`editor/src/movement.rs` to check `line_len() == 0` instead of
`is_line_blank()`.
Note: This change does NOT affect the `ap`/`ip` text objects. Per vim's
`:help ap`, those DO treat whitespace-only lines as boundaries, which is
the existing (correct) behavior in `vim/src/object.rs`.
Closes #36171
Release Notes:
- Fixed vim mode paragraph motions (`}` and `{`) to correctly ignore
whitespace-only lines

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.
