### Overview
This PR improves the existing
[mini.ai‐like](https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.ai) text-object logic
for both “AnyQuotes” (quotes) and “AnyBrackets” (brackets) by adding a
multi‐line fallback. The first pass searches only the current line for a
best match (cover or next); if none are found, we do a multi‐line pass.
This preserves mini.ai's usual “line priority” while ensuring we can
detect pairs that start on one line and end on another.
### What Changed
1. Brackets
- Line-based pass uses `gather_line_brackets(map, caret.row()) `to find
bracket pairs `((), [], {}, <>) `on the caret’s line.
- If that fails, we call `gather_brackets_multiline(map)` to single‐pass
scan the entire buffer, collecting bracket pairs that might span
multiple lines.
- Finally, we apply the mini.ai “**cover or next**” logic
(`pick_best_range`) to choose the best.
2. Quotes
- Similar line-based pass with `gather_line_quotes(map, caret.row())`.
- If no local quotes found, we do a multi‐line fallback with
`gather_quotes_multiline(map)`, building a big string for the whole
buffer and using naive regex for "...", '...', and `...`.
- Also preserves “inner vs. outer” logic:
- For inner (e.g. `ciq`), we skip bounding quotes or brackets if the
range is at least 2 characters wide.
- For outer (`caq`), we return the entire range.
3. Shared “`finalize`” helpers
- `finalize_bracket_range` and `finalize_quote_range` handle the “inner”
skip‐chars vs. “outer” logic.
- Both rely on the same “line first, then full fallback” approach.
### Why This Matters
- **Old Behavior**: If you had multi‐line brackets { ... } or multi‐line
quotes spanning multiple lines, they weren’t found at all, since we only
scanned line by line. That made text objects like ci{ or ciq fail in
multi-line scenarios.
- **New Behavior**: We still do a quick line pass (for user‐friendly
“line priority”), but now if that fails, we do a single‐pass approach
across the entire buffer. This detects multi‐line pairs and maintains
mini.ai’s “cover‐or‐next” picking logic.
### Example Use Cases
- **Curly braces:** e.g., opening { on line 10, closing } on line 15 →
previously missed; now recognized.
- **Multi‐line quotes**: e.g., "'Line 1\nLine 2', no longer missed. We
do gather_quotes_multiline with a naive regex matching across newlines.
### Tests
- Updated and expanded coverage in:
- test_anyquotes_object:
- Includes a multi-line '...' test case.
- E.g. 'first' false\n<caret>string 'second' → ensuring we detect
multi‐line quotes.
- test_anybrackets_object:
- Verifies line‐based priority but also multi‐line bracket detection.
- E.g., an open bracket ( on line 3, close ) on line 5, which used to
fail.
### Limitations / Future Enhancements
- **Escaping**: The current approach for quotes is naive and doesn’t
handle escape sequences (like \") or advanced parser logic. For deeper
correctness, we’ll need more advanced logic, this is also not supported
in the original mini.ai plugin so it is a known issue that won't be
attended for now.
### Important Notes
- Fix for the bug: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/23889
this PR addresses that bug specifically for the AnyQuotes text object.
Note that the issue still remains in the built-in motions (ci', ci",
ci`).
- Caret Position Differences: The caret position now slightly deviates
from Vim’s default behavior. This is intentional. I aim to closely mimic
the mini.ai plugin. Because these text objects are optional
(configurable via vim.json), this adjusted behavior is considered
acceptable and in my opinion the new behavior is better and it should be
the default in vim. Please review the new tests for details and context.
- Improved Special Cases: I’ve also refined how “false strings” in the
middle and certain curly-bracket scenarios are handled. The test suite
reflects these improvements, resulting in a more seamless coding
experience overall.

Following up on #20763, this PR adds support for module- and class-level
docstrings, adds "additional docstrings" as described in [PEP
257](https://peps.python.org/pep-0257/), and fixes function-level
docstrings so that only the first string literal in a function gets
treated as a docstring.
One question that occurs to me is: Would it be good to capture attribute
and additional docstrings differently from regular docstrings? E.g.
`@string.doc.attribute`, `@string.doc.additional`? PEP 257 mentions that
unlike regular docstrings, these docstrings are ignored by the
interpreter (regular docstrings get added as the `__doc__` property of
the object they document), so I can see someone potentially wanting to
style them a little differently.
Release notes:
* Added Python syntax highlighting for class- and module-level
docstrings, additional docstrings, and improved recognition of
function-level docstrings.

Add capture groups for builtin types, builtin attribute decorators,
class inheritance, function arguments and definition keywords.
Related to #14892
Release Notes:
- Improved syntax highlight for Python: new capture groups for
`@function.arguments`, `@function.kwargs`, `@type.class.inheritance`,
`@keyword.definition`, `@attribute.builtin` and `@type.builtin`.
Fixes:
* Types in binary unions as per [PEP
604](https://peps.python.org/pep-0604/) not highlighted;
* `except*` keyword not highlighted;
* Classes beginning with `_` not recognized as such, however `_` is a
valid first character for private classes; additionally the regex for
parsing constant/class names appeared inconsistent and incomplete so was
adjusted;
* Builtin types such as `float`, `dict`, etc not recognized as types;
* **Update:** decorators with arguments not recognized as decorators;
* **Update:** docstrings after type alias assignments not recognized as
docstrings;
* **Update:** `and/in/is/not/or/is not/not in` not capturable as
keywords;
* **Update:** decorators with "nesting" (@x.y.z) not recognized as
decorators;

Release Notes:
- vim: Added motions `[[`, `[]`, `]]`, `][` for navigating by section,
`[m`, `]m`, `[M`, `]M` for navigating by method, and `[*`, `]*`, `[/`,
`]/` for comments. These currently only work for languages built in to
Zed, as they are powered by new tree-sitter queries.
- vim: Added new text objects: `ic`, `ac` for inside/around classes,
`if`,`af` for functions/methods, and `g c` for comments. These currently
only work for languages built in to Zed, as they are powered by new
tree-sitter queries.

[PEP484](https://peps.python.org/pep-0484/) defines "Forward references"
for undefined types. This PR treats such annotations as types rather
than strings.
Release Notes:
- Added Python syntax highlighting for forward references.
Closes #12080, #18649.

Still in progress:
1. I'd like to add configuration options for selecting a Python test
runner (either pytest or unittest) so that users can explicitly choose
which runner they'd like to use for running their tests. This preference
has to be configured as unittest-style tests can also be run by pytest,
meaning we can't rely on auto-discovery to choose the desired test
runner.
2. I'd like to add venv auto-discovery similar to the feature currently
provided by the terminal using detect_venv.
3. Unit tests.
Unfortunately I'm struggling a bit with how to add settings in the
appropriate location (e.g. Python language settings). Can anyone provide
me with some pointers and/or examples on how to either add extra
settings or to re-use the existing ones?
My rust programming level is OK-ish but I'm not very familiar with the
Zed project structure and could use some help.
I'm also open for pair programming as mentioned on the website if that
helps!
Release Notes:
- Added pytest-based test discovery and runnables for Python.
- Adds a configurable option for switching between unittest and pytest
as a test runner under Python language settings. Set "TASK_RUNNER" to
"unittest" under task settings for Python if you wish to use unittest to
run Python tasks; the default is pytest.

Release Notes:
- Differentiate between function and method calls and definitions.
`function.definition` matches the highlight for e.g. rust,
`function.call` is new.
- Likewise differentiate between class calls and class definitions.
- Better highlighting of function decorators (the `@` symbol is
punctuation, and now the decorator itself has a `function.decorator`
tag)
- Make `cls` a special variable (like `self`)
- Add `ellipsis` as a built-in constant
Note that most themes do not currently make use of the
`function.definition` tags, and none make use of the
`type.class.definition` tag. Hopefully more themes will pick this up.

Add runnable tasks for Python, starting with `unittest` from the
standard library. Both `TestCase`s (classes meant to be a unit of
testing) and individual test functions in a `TestCase` will have
runnable icons. For completeness, I also included a task that will run
`unittest` on the current file.
The implementation follows the `unittest` CLI. The unittest module can
be used from the command line to run tests from modules, classes or even
individual test methods:
```
python -m unittest test_module.TestClass
python -m unittest test_module.TestClass.test_method
```
```python
import unittest
class TestStringMethods(unittest.TestCase):
def test_upper(self):
self.assertEqual('foo'.upper(), 'FOO')
def test_isupper(self):
self.assertTrue('FOO'.isupper())
self.assertFalse('Foo'.isupper())
def test_split(self):
s = 'hello world'
self.assertEqual(s.split(), ['hello', 'world'])
# check that s.split fails when the separator is not a string
with self.assertRaises(TypeError):
s.split(2)
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()
```
From the snippet provided by `unittest` docs, a user may want to run
test_split independently of the other test functions in the test case.
Hence, I decided to make each test function runnable despite `TestCase`s
being the unit of testing.
## Example of running a `TestCase`

`unittest` will also run the `setUp` and `tearDown` fixtures.
Eventually, I want to add the more commonly used `pytest` runnables
(perhaps as an extension instead).
Release Notes:
- Added runnable tasks for Python `unittest`.
([#12080](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/12080)).
- Moves languages module from `zed` into a separate crate. That way we
have less of a long pole at the end of compilation.
- Removes moot dependencies on editor/picker. This is totally harmless
and might help in the future if we decide to decouple picker from
editor.
Before:
```
Number of crates that depend on 'picker' but not on 'editor': 1
Total number of crates that depend on 'picker': 13
Total number of crates that depend on 'editor': 30
```
After:
```
Number of crates that depend on 'picker' but not on 'editor': 5
Total number of crates that depend on 'picker': 12
Total number of crates that depend on 'editor': 26
```
The more crates depend on just picker but not editor, the better in that
case.
