Closes#27642
Currently, the `Open (cmd-o)` action is used to open a local folder
picker when in a local project, and Zed's remote path modal in the case
of a remote project. While this looks intentional, there is now no way
to open a local project when you are in a remote project window. Neither
by shortcut, nor by UI, as the "Open Local Folder" button uses the same
`Open` action.
The reverse is not true, as we already have an `Open Remote
(ctrl-cmd-o)` action to open the remote modal, where you can select "Add
Folder" which opens the same Zed's remote path modal. This already works
in both local and remote window cases.
This PR makes two changes:
1. It changes `Open (cmd-o)` action such that it should always open the
local file picker regardless of which project is currently open, local
or remote. This way we have two non-ambiguios actions `Open` and `Open
Remote`.
2. It also changes the "Open a project" button (which shows up when no
project is open in the project panel) to open the recent modal (which
contains buttons to open either local or remote) instead of choosing on
behalf of the user.
P.S. If we want to open Zed's remote path modal directly, it should be
different action altogether. Not covered for now.
Release Notes:
- Fixed issue where "Open local folder" was not opening folder picker
when connected to a remote host.
- Added `from_existing_connection` flag to `OpenRemote` action to
directly open path picker for current connection, bypassing the Remote
Projects modal.

Use `"read_ssh_config": false` to disable the new behavior.
Release Notes:
- Added a way to import ssh host names from the ssh config

While working on implementing `add_recent_documents` for Windows, I
found that the process is significantly more complex compared to macOS.
On macOS, simply registering the `add_recent_documents` function is
enough, as the system handles everything automatically.
On Windows, however, there are two cases to consider:
- **Files opened by the app**: These appear in the "Recent" section (as
shown in the screenshot, "test.txt") and are managed automatically by
Windows (by setting windows registry), similar to macOS.

- **Folders opened by the app**: This is more complicated because
Windows does not handle it automatically, requiring the application to
track opened folders manually.
To address this, this PR introduces a `History Manager` along with
`HistoryManagerEvent::Update` and `HistoryManagerEvent::Delete` events
to simplify the process of managing recently opened folders.

TODO:
- [x] Use AsyncFn instead of Fn() -> Future in GPUI spawn methods
- [x] Implement it in the whole app
- [x] Implement it in the debugger
- [x] Glance at the RPC crate, and see if those box future methods can
be switched over. Answer: It can't directly, as you can't make an
AsyncFn* into a trait object. There's ways around that, but they're all
more complex than just keeping the code as is.

### DISCLAIMER
> As of 6th March 2025, debugger is still in development. We plan to
merge it behind a staff-only feature flag for staff use only, followed
by non-public release and then finally a public one (akin to how Git
panel release was handled). This is done to ensure the best experience
when it gets released.

- Truncate branch names based on the width of the picker
- Use a footer for "Create branch" instead of a picker entry
Still to do:
- [x] Select the footer button when no matches and run the create logic
on `enter`
- [x] Make it possible to quickly select the footer button from the
keyboard when there are matches
Release Notes:
- Git Beta: Removed limitation that made it impossible to create a
branch from the branch picker when it too closely resembled an existing
branch name
This Pull Request tackles the issue outline in #14287 by changing the
way `KeyBinding`s for vim mode are displayed in the command palette.
It's worth pointing out that this whole thing was pretty much
implemented by Conrad Irwin during a pairing session, I just tried to
clean up some other changes introduced for a different issue, while
improving some comments.
Here's a quick list of the changes introduced:
- Update `KeyBinding` with a new `vim_mode` field to determine whether
the keybinding should be displayed in vim mode.
- Update the way `KeyBinding` is rendered, so as to detect if the
keybinding is for vim mode, if it is, only display keys in uppercase if
they require the shift key.
- Introduce a new global state – `VimStyle(bool)` - use to determine
whether `vim_mode` should be enabled or disabled when creating a new
`KeyBinding` struct. This global state is automatically set by the `vim`
crate whenever vim mode is enabled or disabled.
- Since the app's context is now required when building a `KeyBinding` ,
update a lot of callers to correctly pass this context.

Supercedes #24561Closes#21059
Before this change we would skip saving multibuffers regardless of the
save intent. Now we correctly save them.
Along the way:
* Prompt to save when closing the last singleton copy of an item (even
if it's still open in a multibuffer).
* Update our file name prompt to pull out dirty project items from
multibuffers instead of counting multibuffers as untitled files.
* Fix our prompt test helpers to require passing the button name instead
of the index. A few tests were passing invalid responses to save
prompts.
* Refactor the code a bit to hopefully clarify it for the next bug.
Release Notes:
- Fixed edge-cases when closing multiple items including multibuffers.
Previously no prompt was generated when closing an item that was open in
a multibuffer, now you will be prompted.
- vim: Fix :wq in a multibuffer
There's still a bit more work to do on this, but this PR is compiling
(with warnings) after eliminating the key types. When the tasks below
are complete, this will be the new narrative for GPUI:
- `Entity<T>` - This replaces `View<T>`/`Model<T>`. It represents a unit
of state, and if `T` implements `Render`, then `Entity<T>` implements
`Element`.
- `&mut App` This replaces `AppContext` and represents the app.
- `&mut Context<T>` This replaces `ModelContext` and derefs to `App`. It
is provided by the framework when updating an entity.
- `&mut Window` Broken out of `&mut WindowContext` which no longer
exists. Every method that once took `&mut WindowContext` now takes `&mut
Window, &mut App` and every method that took `&mut ViewContext<T>` now
takes `&mut Window, &mut Context<T>`
Not pictured here are the two other failed attempts. It's been quite a
month!
Tasks:
- [x] Remove `View`, `ViewContext`, `WindowContext` and thread through
`Window`
- [x] [@cole-miller @mikayla-maki] Redraw window when entities change
- [x] [@cole-miller @mikayla-maki] Get examples and Zed running
- [x] [@cole-miller @mikayla-maki] Fix Zed rendering
- [x] [@mikayla-maki] Fix todo! macros and comments
- [x] Fix a bug where the editor would not be redrawn because of view
caching
- [x] remove publicness window.notify() and replace with
`AppContext::notify`
- [x] remove `observe_new_window_models`, replace with
`observe_new_models` with an optional window
- [x] Fix a bug where the project panel would not be redrawn because of
the wrong refresh() call being used
- [x] Fix the tests
- [x] Fix warnings by eliminating `Window` params or using `_`
- [x] Fix conflicts
- [x] Simplify generic code where possible
- [x] Rename types
- [ ] Update docs

- Adds the Switch component
- Updates `Selected`, `Selectable` -> `ToggleState`, `Toggleable`
- Adds `checkbox` and `switch` functions to align better with other
elements in our layout system.
We decided not to merge Switch and Checkbox. However, in a followup I'll
introduce a Toggle or AnyToggle enum so we can update
`CheckboxWithLabel` -> `ToggleWithLabel` as this component will work
exactly the same with either a Checkbox or a Switch.

- Making sure this design and properties are the same across different
places
- No need for the `ButtonLike` here, we can use `Button` as it supports
`key_binding` and makes it for a cleaner code!
- Also, that ensures the binding is always to the right of the label,
which makes more sense
- Title-case the labels for consistency with other buttons across the
app

This is useful for passing a custom identity file, jump hosts, etc.
Unlike with the v1 feature, we won't support `gh`/`gcloud` ssh wrappers

This fixes the `SshSession` being leaked.
There were two leaks:
1. `Arc<SshSession>` itself got leaked into the `SettingsObserver` that
lives as long as the application. Fixed with a weak reference.
2. The two tasks spawned by an `SshSession` had a circular dependency
and didn't exit while the other one was running. Fixed by fixing (1)
and then attaching one of the tasks to the `SshSession`, which means
it gets dropped with the session itself, which leads the other task
to error and exit.

This adds the ability for Zed to restore unsaved buffers on restart. The
user is no longer prompted to save/discard/cancel when trying to close a
Zed window with dirty buffers in it. Instead those dirty buffers are
stored and restored on restart.
It does this by saving the contents of dirty buffers to the internal
SQLite database in which Zed stores other data too. On restart, if there
are dirty buffers in the database, they are restored.
On certain events (buffer changed, file saved, ...) Zed will serialize
these buffers, throttled to a 100ms, so that we don't overload the
machine by saving on every keystroke. When Zed quits, it waits until all
the buffers are serialized.
### Current limitations
- It does not persist undo-history (right now we don't persist/restore
undo-history regardless of dirty buffers or not)
- It does not restore buffers in windows without projects/worktrees.
Example: if you open a new window with `cmd-shift-n` and type something
in a buffer, this will _not_ be stored and you will be asked whether to
save/discard on quit. In the future, we want to fix this by also
restoring windows without projects/worktrees.
### Demo
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/45c63237-8848-471f-8575-ac05496bba19
### Related tickets
I'm unsure about closing them, without also fixing the 2nd limitation:
restoring of worktree-less windows. So let's wait until that.
- https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/4985
- https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/4683
### Note on performance
- Serializing editing buffer (asynchronously on background thread) with
500k lines takes ~200ms on M3 Max. That's an extreme case and that
performance seems acceptable.
Release Notes:
- Added automatic restoring of unsaved buffers. Zed can now be closed
even if there are unsaved changes in buffers. One current limitation is
that this only works when having projects open, not single files or
empty windows with unsaved buffers. The feature can be turned off by
setting `{"session": {"restore_unsaved_buffers": false}}`.
