Zed displays scrollbar markers of three types: git diffs, background
highlights and diagnostics. At the moment, the "background highlights"
markers are displayed for all the supported highlights:
- Occurences of the symbol under cursor.
- Search results.
- Scope boundaries (only works when a symbol is selected).
- Active hover popover position.
They all use the same color, which leads to confusing results. For
instance, in the following case I expect to see markers for the
`new_anchor` occurences in lines 43 and 47. But besides them, there're
also scope-markers for `ScrollAnchor` initialization block in lines 46
and 49, which makes me think that there're four places where
`new_anchor` appears.

Existing settings `selection` and `symbol_selection` in the `scrollbar`
section [don't work as
expected](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/10080#discussion_r1552325493),
which increases confusion.
This PR only leaves two types of bg-highlight-markers and provides
dedicated settings for them:
- Occurences of the symbol under cursor. Setting: `selected_symbol`,
default is `true`.
- Search results. Setting: `search_results`, default is `true`.
The `selection` and `symbol_selection` settings are not used anymore.
Release Notes:
- Breaking changes. Settings `selection` and `symbol_selection` in the
`scrollbar` section renamed to `search_results` and `selected_symbol`
respectively. Fixed the effect of these settings on which markers are
displayed on the scrollbar.
Optionally, include screenshots / media showcasing your addition that
can be included in the release notes.

Some people (like myself) use touchpads for development and I find Zed's
default scroll sensitivity to be slower than I like. This change adds a
scroll sensitivity multiplier that allows users to customize the speed
of their scrolling.
Release Notes:
- Added a setting under "scroll_sensitivity" that allows user to control
the scroll sensitivity. This value acts as a multiplier for the
horizontal and vertical scroll speed.
This adds so-called "inline git blame" to the editor that, when turned
on, shows `git blame` information about the current line inline:

When the inline information is hovered, a new tooltip appears that
contains more information on the current commit:

The commit message in this tooltip is rendered as Markdown, is
scrollable and clickable.
The tooltip is now also the tooltip used in the gutter:

## Settings
1. The inline git blame information can be turned on and off via
settings:
```json
{
"git": {
"inline_blame": {
"enabled": true
}
}
}
```
2. Optionally, a delay can be configured. When a delay is set, the
inline blame information will only show up `x milliseconds` after a
cursor movement:
```json
{
"git": {
"inline_blame": {
"enabled": true,
"delay_ms": 600
}
}
}
```
3. It can also be turned on/off for the current buffer with `editor:
toggle git blame inline`.
## To be done in follow-up PRs
- [ ] Add link to pull request in tooltip
- [ ] Add avatars of users if possible
## Release notes
Release Notes:
- Added inline `git blame` information the editor. It can be turned on
in the settings with `{"git": { "inline_blame": "on" } }` for every
buffer or, temporarily for the current buffer, with `editor: toggle git
blame inline`.
This introduces a new API on `StatefulInteractiveElement` to create a
tooltip that can be hovered, scrolled inside, and clicked:
`.hoverable_tooltip`.
Right now we only use it in the `git blame` gutter, but the plan is to
use the new hover/click/scroll behavior in #10398 to introduce new
git-blame-tooltips.

Refs #9647
Fixes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/9792
This pull request moves the computation of scrollbar markers off the
main thread, to prevent them from grinding the editor to a halt when we
have a lot of them (e.g., when there are lots of search results on a
large file). With these changes we also avoid generating multiple quads
for adjacent markers, thus fixing an issue where we stop drawing other
primitives because we've drawn too many quads in the scrollbar.
Release Notes:
- Improved editor performance when displaying lots of search results,
diagnostics, or symbol highlights in the scrollbar
([#9792](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/9792)).

Closes#10017. While reworking the `overlay` element in #9911, I did not
realize that all overlay elements called `defer_draw` with a priority of
`1`.
/cc @as-cii
Not including release notes, since it was only present in nightly.
Release Notes:
- N/A
There was a problem using deferred draws with `overlay` and tooltips at
the same time.
The `overlay` element was removed and was split up into two separate
elements
- `deferred`
- `anchored` - Mimics the `overlay` behavior but does not render its
children as deferred
`tooltip_container` does not defer its drawing anymore and only uses
`anchored`.
/cc @as-cii
Release Notes:
- Fixed tooltip for the recent projects popover not showing anymore

This is a best-effort attempt, as the target offset from the top is just
an estimate; furthermore, this does not account for things like project
search header (which adds a bit of vertical offset by itself and is
removed once we jump into a buffer), but it still should improve the
situation quite a bit.
Fixes: #5296
Release Notes:
- Improved target selection when jumping from multibuffer; final
position in the buffer should more closely match the original position
of the cursor in the multibuffer.
This adds a new action to the editor: `editor: toggle git blame`. When
used it turns on a sidebar containing `git blame` information for the
currently open buffer.
The git blame information is updated when the buffer changes. It handles
additions, deletions, modifications, changes to the underlying git data
(new commits, changed commits, ...), file saves. It also handles folding
and wrapping lines correctly.
When the user hovers over a commit, a tooltip displays information for
the commit that introduced the line. If the repository has a remote with
the name `origin` configured, then clicking on a blame entry opens the
permalink to the commit on the code host.
Users can right-click on a blame entry to get a context menu which
allows them to copy the SHA of the commit.
The feature also works on shared projects, e.g. when collaborating a
peer can request `git blame` data.
As of this PR, Zed now comes bundled with a `git` binary so that users
don't have to have `git` installed locally to use this feature.

This pull request introduces a new `InlineCompletionProvider` trait,
which enables making `Editor` copilot-agnostic and lets us push all the
copilot functionality into the `copilot_ui` module. Long-term, I would
like to merge `copilot` and `copilot_ui`, but right now `project`
depends on `copilot`, which makes this impossible.
The reason for adding this new trait is so that we can experiment with
other inline completion providers and swap them at runtime using config
settings.
Please, note also that we renamed some of the existing copilot actions
to be more agnostic (see release notes below). We still kept the old
actions bound for backwards-compatibility, but we should probably remove
them at some later version.
Also, as a drive-by, we added new methods to the `Global` trait that let
you read or mutate a global directly, e.g.:
```rs
MyGlobal::update(cx, |global, cx| {
});
```
Release Notes:
- Renamed the `copilot::Suggest` action to
`editor::ShowInlineCompletion`
- Renamed the `copilot::NextSuggestion` action to
`editor::NextInlineCompletion`
- Renamed the `copilot::PreviousSuggestion` action to
`editor::PreviousInlineCompletion`
- Renamed the `editor::AcceptPartialCopilotSuggestion` action to
`editor::AcceptPartialInlineCompletion`

this PR allows users to use `cmd` instead of `alt` as the
`multi_cursor_modifier` for creating multiple cursors/selections
closes#4339
---------
Co-authored-by: Conrad Irwin <conrad.irwin@gmail.com>
Several improvements in how various markers are displayed in the editor
scrollbar, as described in #9070, if you're ok with the proposal:
- Scrollbar has three columns:
- 1st is for git markers
- 2nd is for selections and search resulta highlightings
- 3rd is for diagnostics
- Height of all markers is scaled, but there's a minimal allowed height
of 2px.
- Right border removed from both the scrollbar and thumb to make more
room for markers.
Release Notes:
- Improved scrollbar markers visualization (#9070).
Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/5275
Double click with `alt` modifier pressed will do the regular word
selection.
Adds a setting to disable this behavior and instead select a word, as in
the regular buffer.
```
// What to do when multibuffer is double clicked in some of its excerpts
// (parts of singleton buffers).
// May take 2 values:
// 1. Behave as a regular buffer and select the whole word.
// "double_click_in_multibuffer": "select"
// 2. Open the excerpt clicked as a new buffer in the new tab (default).
// "double_click_in_multibuffer": "open",
// For the case of "open", regular selection behavior can be achieved by holding `alt` when double clicking.
"double_click_in_multibuffer": "open",
```
Release Notes:
- Made multibuffer to open excerpts in new tabs on double click by
default (changing settings or keeping alt restores the word selection
behavior). ([5275](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/5275))
We were seeing weird layouts with large files, where - starting with
some verylargelineindex - lines were rendered at weird y offsets. It
turned out that in some cases we're doing operations on Pixel values of
different magnitude, which then led to wrong results in calculations.
This commit addresses some of these problems, visible at glance when
working with large plaintext files. I *did not* dig into things like
inlay hints or diagnostics to see if they are subject to the same
potential precision loss.
Fixes#5371
Release Notes:
- Fixed editor layout for large files, where the lines might have been
laid out with incorrect Y offset from the top.

### Problem
After transitioning Zed to GPUI 2, we started noticing that interacting
with the mouse on many UI elements would lead to a pretty annoying
flicker. The main issue with the old approach was that hover state was
calculated based on the previous frame. That is, when computing whether
a given element was hovered in the current frame, we would use
information about the same element in the previous frame.
However, inspecting the previous frame tells us very little about what
should be hovered in the current frame, as elements in the current frame
may have changed significantly.
### Solution
This pull request's main contribution is the introduction of a new
`after_layout` phase when redrawing the window. The key idea is that
we'll give every element a chance to register a hitbox (see
`ElementContext::insert_hitbox`) before painting anything. Then, during
the `paint` phase, elements can determine whether they're the topmost
and draw their hover state accordingly.
We are also removing the ability to give an arbitrary z-index to
elements. Instead, we will follow the much simpler painter's algorithm.
That is, an element that gets painted after will be drawn on top of an
element that got painted earlier. Elements can still escape their
current "stacking context" by using the new `ElementContext::defer_draw`
method (see `Overlay` for an example). Elements drawn using this method
will still be logically considered as being children of their original
parent (for keybinding, focus and cache invalidation purposes) but their
layout and paint passes will be deferred until the currently-drawn
element is done.
With these changes we also reworked geometry batching within the
`Scene`. The new approach uses an AABB tree to determine geometry
occlusion, which allows the GPU to render non-overlapping geometry in
parallel.
### Performance
Performance is slightly better than on `main` even though this new
approach is more correct and we're maintaining an extra data structure
(the AABB tree).

Release Notes:
- Fixed a bug that was causing popovers to flicker.

I would like to keep diagnostics open on one side, and process them on
the other.
Release Notes:
- Added `editor::OpenExcerptsSplit` (bound to `cmd-k enter`) to open the
selected excerpts in the adjacent pane
