Closes#32354
The issue is that we render selections over the text in the agent panel,
but under the text in editor, so themes that have no alpha for the
selection background color (defaults to 0xff) will just occlude the
selected region. Making the selection render under the text in markdown
would be a significant (and complicated) refactor, as selections can
cross element boundaries (i.e. spanning code block and a header after
the code block).
The solution is to add a new highlight to themes
`element_selection_background` that defaults to the local players
selection background with an alpha of 0.25 (roughly equal to 0x3D which
is the alpha we use for selection backgrounds in default themes) if the
alpha of the local players selection is 1.0. The idea here is to give
theme authors more control over how the selections look outside of
editor, as in the agent panel specifically, the background color is
different, so while an alpha of 0.25 looks acceptable, a different color
would likely be better.

Clearly, the selection in the after doesn't look _that_ great, but it is
better than the before, and this PR makes the color of the selection
configurable by the theme so that this theme author could make it a
lighter color for better contrast.

Closes#33472
This PR fixes some regressions that were introduced in
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/32558, which updated the
editor scrolling to use `em_advance` instead of `em_width` for the
horizontal scroll position calculation.
However, not all occurrences were updated, which caused issues with wrap
guides and some small stuttering with horizontal autoscroll whilst
typing/navigating with the keyboard.
Release Notes:
- Fixed an issue where horizontal autoscrolling would stutter and indent
guides would drift when scrolling horizontally.
Closes#23527Closes#30183
Closes some Discord chats
Release Notes:
- vim: Motions now push to the jump list using the same logic as vim
(i.e.
`G`/`g g`/`g d` always do, but `j`/`k` always don't). Most non-vim
actions
(including clicking with the mouse) continue to push to the jump list
only
when they move the cursor by 10 or more lines.
Closes#33238, follow-up to
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/29625.
Changes:
- Removed `significant_indentation`, which was the way to introduce
indentation scoping in languages like Python. However, it turned out to
be unnecessarily complicated to define and maintain.
- Introduced `decrease_indent_patterns`, which takes a `pattern` keyword
to automatically outdent and `valid_after` keywords to treat as valid
code points to snap to. The outdent happens to the most recent
`valid_after` keyword that also has less or equal indentation than the
currently typed keyword.
Fixes:
1. In Python, typing `except`, `finally`, `else`, and so on now
automatically indents intelligently based on the context in which it
appears. For instance:
```py
try:
if a == 1:
try:
b = 2
^ # <-- typing "except:" here would indent it to inner try block
```
but,
```py
try:
if a == 1:
try:
b = 2
^ # <-- typing "except:" here would indent it to outer try block
```
2. Fixes comments not maintaining indent.
Release Notes:
- Improved auto outdent for Python while typing keywords like `except`,
`else`, `finally`, etc.
- Fixed the issue where comments in Python would not maintain their
indentation.
## Description of Feature or Change
Zed currently lacks a built-in way to convert a file’s indentation style
on the fly. While it's possible to change indentation behavior via
global or language-specific settings, these changes are persistent and
broad in scope as they apply to all files or all files of a given
language. We believe this could be improved for quick one-off
adjustments to specific files.
This PR introduces two new editor commands:
`Editor::convert_indentation_to_spaces` and
`Editor::convert_indentation_to_tabs`. These commands allow users to
convert the indentation of either the entire buffer or a selection of
lines, to spaces or tabs. Indentation levels are preserved, and any
mixed whitespace lines are properly normalized.
This feature is inspired by VS Code’s "Convert Indentation to
Tabs/Spaces" commands, but offers faster execution and supports
selection-based conversion, making it more flexible for quick formatting
changes.
## Implementation Details
To enable selection-based indentation conversion, we initially
considered reusing the existing `Editor::manipulate_lines` function,
which handles selections for line-based manipulations. However, this
method was designed specifically for operations like sorting or
reversing lines, and does not allow modifications to the line contents
themselves.
To address this limitation, we refactored the method into a more
flexible version: `Editor::manipulate_generic_lines`. This new method
passes a reference to the selected text directly into a callback, giving
the callback full control over how to process and construct the
resulting lines. The callback returns a `String` containing the modified
text, as well as the number of lines before and after the
transformation. These counts are computed using `.len()` on the line
vectors during manipulation, which is more efficient than calculating
them after the fact.
```rust
fn manipulate_generic_lines<M>(
&mut self,
window: &mut Window,
cx: &mut Context<Self>,
mut manipulate: M,
) where
M: FnMut(&str) -> (String, usize, usize),
{
// ... Get text from buffer.text_for_range() ...
let (new_text, lines_before, lines_after) = manipulate(&text);
// ...
```
We now introduce two specialized methods:
`Editor::manipulate_mutable_lines` and
`Editor::manipulate_immutable_lines`. Each editor command selects the
appropriate method based on whether it needs to modify line contents or
simply reorder them. This distinction is important for performance: when
line contents remain unchanged, working with an immutable reference as
`&mut Vec<&str>` is both faster and more memory-efficient than using an
owned `&mut Vec<String>`.

This reduces code complexity and avoids unnecessary roundtripping
through `DisplayPoint`. Hopefully this doesn't cause behavior changes,
but has one known behavior improvement:
`clip_at_line_ends` logic caused `is_inside_word` to return false when
on a word at the end of the line. In vim mode, this caused
`select_all_matches` to not select words at the end of lines, and in
some cases crashes due to not finding any selections.
Closes#29823
Release Notes:

## Context
To support inline values a language will have to implement their own
provider trait that walks through tree sitter nodes. This is overly
complicated, hard to accurately implement for each language, and lacks
proper extension support.
This PR switches to a singular inline provider that uses a language's
`debugger.scm` query field to capture variables and scopes. The inline
provider is able to use this information to generate inlays that take
scope into account and work with any language that defines a debugger
query file.
### Todos
- [x] Implement a utility test function to easily test inline values
- [x] Generate inline values based on captures
- [x] Reimplement Python, Rust, and Go support
- [x] Take scope into account when iterating through variable captures
- [x] Add tests for Go inline values
- [x] Remove old inline provider code and trait implementations
Release Notes:
- debugger: Generate inline values based on a language debugger.scm file
Instead of a menagerie of macros for implementing `Action`, now there
are just two:
* `actions!(editor, [MoveLeft, MoveRight])`
* `#[derive(..., Action)]` with `#[action(namespace = editor)]`
In both contexts, `///` doc comments can be provided and will be used in
`JsonSchema`.
In both contexts, parameters can provided in `#[action(...)]`:
- `namespace = some_namespace` sets the namespace. In Zed this is
required.
- `name = "ActionName"` overrides the action's name. This must not
contain "::".
- `no_json` causes the `build` method to always error and
`action_json_schema` to return `None`
and allows actions not implement `serde::Serialize` and
`schemars::JsonSchema`.
- `no_register` skips registering the action. This is useful for
implementing the `Action` trait
while not supporting invocation by name or JSON deserialization.
- `deprecated_aliases = ["editor::SomeAction"]` specifies deprecated old
names for the action.
These action names should *not* correspond to any actions that are
registered. These old names
can then still be used to refer to invoke this action. In Zed, the
keymap JSON schema will
accept these old names and provide warnings.
- `deprecated = "Message about why this action is deprecation"`
specifies a deprecation message.
In Zed, the keymap JSON schema will cause this to be displayed as a
warning. This is a new feature.
Also makes the following changes since this seems like a good time to
make breaking changes:
* In `zed.rs` tests adds a test with an explicit list of namespaces. The
rationale for this is that there is otherwise no checking of `namespace
= ...` attributes.
* `Action::debug_name` renamed to `name_for_type`, since its only
difference with `name` was that it
* `Action::name` now returns `&'static str` instead of `&str` to match
the return of `name_for_type`. This makes the action trait more limited,
but the code was already assuming that `name_for_type` is the same as
`name`, and it requires `&'static`. So really this just makes the trait
harder to misuse.
* Various action reflection methods now use `&'static str` instead of
`SharedString`.
Release Notes:

This PR addresses to fix (#31308) a race condition where auto-indent (in
buffer.cs) and on-type-formatting (in lsp_store.rs) concurrently
calculate indentation using the same buffer snapshot.
Previous Solution (Abandoned):
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/31340
Final Solution:
Delay applying on-type-formatting until auto-indent is complete.
Issue:
If AutoindentMode finishes first, formatting works correctly. If
"Formatting on typing" starts before AutoindentMode completes, it
results in double indentation.
Closes#31308
Release Notes:
- Fixed a race condition resulting in incorrect buffer contents when combining auto-indent and on-type-formatting
Previously, if editing a long previous user message in the thread, you'd
have a double scroll situation because the editor used in that case had
its max number of lines capped. To solve that, I made the `max_lines` in
the editor `AutoHeight` mode optional, allowing me to not pass any
arbitrary number to the previous user message editor, and ultimately,
solving the double scroll problem by not having any scroll at all.
Release Notes:
- agent: Fixed double scroll that happened when editing a long previous
user message.

here... want to be careful. :)
Closes#33106
Instead of directly using `filter_text` in `StringMatchCandidate`, which
yields better results for fuzzy matching but messes up with highlighting
letters in bold, as `positions` list generated by fuzzy crate are now of
`filter_text` and not `label` shown to the user.
This PR fixes it by keeping use of `filter_range` in
`StringMatchCandidate`, which is range w.r.t to `label` shown to user.
And actually generating this `filter_range` at source by using
`filter_range` if exists.
- [x] Tests
Release Notes:
- Fixed issue where incorrect letters are marked as bold in completions.
Closes#30191
`line_ix` should never exceed the bounds of `line_layouts`, but a panic
happens on out-of-bounds for this, which seems weird. I couldn’t

Also adds the code to support `textDocument/colorPresentation`
counterpart that serves as a resolve mechanism for the document colors.
The resolve itself is not run though, and the editor does not
accommodate color presentations in the editor yet — until a well
described use case is provided.
Use `lsp_document_colors` editor settings to alter the presentation and
turn the feature off.
Release Notes:
- Start showing inline previews for LSP document colors
Release Notes:
- Add a setting to show the minimap only on the current active editor
(file)
- This can be configured on `settings.json`:
```json
{
"minimap": {
"display_in": "active_editor", // defaults to "all_editors"
}
}
```
- The minimap won't hide if you go from an editor pane to the terminal,
the project panel, the search bar, etc. It will only hide if you go from
one editor pane to another.
Preview:

Only the active editor (left) displays the minimap.
On the panics dashboard, saw this panic of `There must be at least one
selection` in `open_locations_in_multibuffer`. Only seems to have
happened once in the past month.
Fix is to include the pending selection. Since `selections.all()` cannot
provide anchor selections, added `selections.all_anchors()` which only
really does any work if there is a pending selection.
Also fixes a corner case in jump-to-definitions where if the definition
is `HoverLink::InlayHint` and the `compute_target_location` fails for
all definitions it could potentially also trigger this case (and return
`Navigated::Yes` instead of `Navigated::No`

Crashes look like:
```

<project::lsp_store::LspStore>::format::{closure#1}::{closure#0}::<i32>
```
Though `format_buffer_locally` is not always present. Both issue reports
mention usage of the agent. I suspect this is somehow a result of agent
format-on-save combined with the user's cursor being at the end of the
buffer as it's getting edited by the agent.
The offsets are always off-by-one in the error, so at first I thought
the issue was the condition `head < snapshot.buffer_snapshot.len()`
before setting `tail` to be `head + 1`, but an offset equal to len is
valid. Seems like to get a `to_offset` crash, `head` must be greater
than `len`. Which is quite weird, a selection's offset should never be
out of bounds.
Since this code is just about highlighting brackets, this PR logs an
error instead of crashing in the `head > len` case.

Follow-up to #27519 and #32408
This PR fixes an issue where the mouse cursor would stay hidden after
typing in the editor.
Before #32408, we would rerender the editor on every mouse move. Now, we
(correctly) only do this if a rerender is actually required. This caused
a small regression for hiding the mouse cursor though: Due to the view
now being cached, we do not neccessarily update the mouse cursor style
so it is shown again. The boolean is updated but the view is not,
resulting in the cursor style being kept until another action is
performed. This is an issue with both Stable and Preview (due to some
other changes, the issue is slightly worse on Preview though, see
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/32596#issuecomment-2969258800
and
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/32596#issuecomment-2969357248
for some more context).
This PR ensures that the cursor is shown again by scheduling a redraw of
the editor whenever the boolean is updated.
The change should not cause any performance regressions: In most cases
where we want to hide the mouse, the editor is about to be rerendered
anyway, hence this would not change anything. For cases where we want to
show the cursor again, this ensures that we actually end up doing so by
rerendering the editor once.
Release Notes:
- Fixed an issue where the mouse cursor would sometimes stay hidden
after typing in editors with the `hide_mouse` setting enabled.
Closes#32584
In https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/31888, we changed the
default `opt + shift` behavior to start columnar selection from the
mouse position (Sublime-like behavior) instead of from the existing
selection head (VSCode-like behavior).
It turns out there is a use case for creating columnar selection from an
existing selection head as well, such as creating a consecutive
multi-cursor from existing selection head with just a click instead of
dragging.
This PR brings back columnar selection from the selection head via `opt
+ shift`, while retaining columnar selection from the mouse position,
which is now mapped to the new `cmd + shift` binding.
Note: If you like to swap the binding, you can use [existing multi
cursor modifier
setting](https://zed.dev/docs/configuring-zed?highlight=multi_cursor_modifier#multi-cursor-modifier).
Release Notes:
- Added `cmd + shift` to start columnar selection from the mouse
position.
- Restored `opt + shift` to create columnar selection (or consecutive
multi-cursor on click) from the selection head.
The condition for displaying the first char of the placeholder text in
the block cursor was `cursor_column == 0`. This meant that it was
displayed on the first column even when the placeholder text is not
being displayed. Instead this now shows it only when
`snapshot.is_empty()` - the same condition used to determine whether to
show placeholder text.
In the case of vim mode + agent panel message editor, this meant that if
you did `shift-enter` to make a newline and then `escape` to enter
normal mode, the block cursor would show `M` inside it as that's the
first character of the placeholder text "Message the agent - @ to
include context"
Release Notes:
- N/A
* Adds `min_lines` to `EditorMode::AutoHeight` and use `min_lines: 4` in
agent message editor. This makes it so that clicks in the blank space
below the first line of the editor also focus it, instead of needing to
click the very first line.
* Removes the div wrapping the editor, as it was only there to set
`min_h_16()`. This also tightens up the min space given to the editor -
before it was not evenly dividing the number of lines.
* Further tightens up vertical spacing by using `gap_1` instead of
`gap_4` between editor and controls below
At 4 line min height (after on the left, before on the right):

At 5 lines, one more than min height (after on the left, before on the
right):

Release Notes:
- Agent: Fixed clicking to focus the message editor to also work for
clicks below the last line.
Similar to https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/32683, checking
mouse hovered in `mouse_move` instead of `prepaint` for diff hunk
controls.
Release Notes:
- Fixed issue where diff hunk controls were not visible on mouse hover
when `cursor_blink` is `false`.
We recently fixed the issue of `cx.notify` on every mouse move event
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/32408. As this perf bug was
there for a long time, we made some not-optimal choices for checking
things like if the mouse is hovering over an element in the prepaint
phase rather than the `mouse_move` listener.
After the mentioned fix, it regressed these code paths as prepaint is
not being called for every other frame, and hence the mouse hovering
logic never triggers. This bug is directly noticeable when the
"cursor_blink" setting is turned off, which notifies the editor on every
second.
This PR fixes that for git inline blame popover by moving logic to
show/hide in `mouse_move` instead of prepaint phase. `cx.notify` is only
get called only when popover is shown or hidden.
Release Notes:
- Fixed git inline blame not correctly showing in Editor on hover when
`cursor_blink` is `false`.
Release Notes:
- Added initial support for both `z l` and `z h` in vim mode
These changes relate to #17219 but don't yet close the issue, as this
Pull Request is simply adding support for horizontal scrolling in vim
mode and actually moving the cursor to the correct column in the current
row will be handled in a different Pull Request.
Some notes on these changes:
- 2 new default keybindings added to vim's keymap
- `z l` which triggers the new `vim::ColumnRight` action
- `z h` which triggers the new `vim::ColumnLeft` action
- Introduced a new `ScrollAmount` variant, `ScrollAmount::Column(f32)`
to represent horizontal scrolling
- Replaced usage of `em_width` with `em_advance` to actually scroll by
the width of the cursor, instead of the width of the character
