multiple_selections key context (#60018)
# Objective - I would like to have the Vim command `z z` do different actions depending on if I have multiple selections. If I only have one selection I want `z z` to center my only selection (current behavior); however, if I have multiple selections I would like `z z` to run `editor::OpenSelectionsInMultibuffer`. This PR does not add this specific functionality (happy to be convinced otherwise), but it does let users add this type of functionality. ## Solution - Add a new key context field that is active only when there are multiple selections. ## Testing - Changes are quite small. A test on this would really be testing other parts of the code-base more than this change. ## Self-Review Checklist: - [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability - [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments - [x] The content adheres to Zed's UI standards ([UX/UI](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) and [icon](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/crates/icons/README.md) guidelines) - [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable ## Showcase https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2559e218-d6fa-492a-949b-f4ab8b880f28 This allows us to add something like the following to the `keymap.json`: ```json { "context": "VimControl && !menu && multiple_selections", "bindings": { "z z": "editor::OpenSelectionsInMultibuffer", }, }, ``` which lets us change the functionality of a keystroke based on if there are multiple selections. This video has the following keystroke sequence: `z z` (Center the cursor normally) `5 g l` (Select the 5 next occurrences of the word under the cursor) `z z` (Open selections in multi-buffer) (Previously `z z` in this context would just center the last selection) https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a0dc1813-5420-4cda-a1ec-99e6681680e7 --- Release Notes: - Added `multiple_selections` keystroke context Co-authored-by: Lukas Wirth <lukas@zed.dev>
