As suggested in https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/34418, this
proposes various changes to language configs to make block comments and
doc-block-style comments more similar. In doing so, it introduces some
breaking changes into the extension schema.
This change is needed to support the changes I'm working on in #34418,
to be able to support `rewrap` in block comments like `/* really long
comment ... */`. As is, we can do this in C-style doc-block comments (eg
`/** ... */`) because of the config in `documentation`, but we can't do
this in regular block comments because we lack the info about what the
line prefix and indentation should be.
And while I was here, I did various other clean-ups, many of which feel
nice but are optional.
I would love special attention on the changes to the schema, version and
related changes; I'm totally unfamiliar with that part of Zed.
**Summary of changes**
- break: changes type of `block_comment` to same type as
`documentation_comment` (**this is the important change**)
- break: rename `documentation` to `documentation_comment` (optional,
but improves consistency w/ `line_comments` and `block_comment`)
- break/refactor?: removes some whitespace in the declaration of
`block_comment` delimiters (optional, may break things, need input; some
langs had no spaces, others did)
- refactor: change `tab_size` from `NonZeroU32` to just a `u32` (some
block comments don't seem to need/want indent past the initial
delimiter, so we need this be 0 sometimes)
- refactor: moves the `documentation_comment` declarations to appear
next to `block_comment`, rearranges the order of the fields in the TOML
for `documentation_comment`, rename backing `struct` (all optional)
**Future scope**
I believe that this will also allow us to extend regular block comments
on newline – as we do doc-block comments – but I haven't looked into
this yet. (eg, in JS try pressing enter in both of these: `/* */` and
`/** */`; the latter should extend w/ a `*` prefixed line, while the
former does not.)
Release Notes:
- BREAKING CHANGE: update extension schema version from 1 to 2, change
format of `block_comment` and rename `documentation_comment`

Closes#19644#18151
Now, rewrapping markdown lists (unordered, ordered, and to-do lists) and
block quotes wrap them separately, without merging them together.
Additionally, it correctly indents subsequent lines.
With this input:
```md
1. This is a list item that is short.
2. This list item is a bit longer because I want to see if it wraps correctly after a rewrap operation in Zed. What do you think?
3. another short item
```
Output would be:
```md
1. This is a list item that is short.
2. This list item is a bit longer because I want to see if it wraps correctly
after a rewrap operation in Zed. What do you think?
3. another short item
```
Instead of:
```md
1. This is a list item that is short. 2. This list item is a bit longer because
I want to see if it wraps correctly after a rewrap operation in Zed. What
do you think? 3. another short item
```
Release Notes:
- Improved rewrap for markdown lists, todos, and block quotes.
Closes#18581
Now characters for completing query and word characters, which are
responsible for selecting words by double clicking or navigating, are
different. This fixes a bunch of things:
For settings.json, this improves completions to treat the whole string
as a completion query, instead of just the last word. We now added
"space" as a completion query character without it being a word
character.
For keymap.json, this improves selecting part of an action as the ":"
character is only a completion character and not a word character. So,
completions would still trigger on ":" and query capture will treat ":"
as a word, but for actions like selections and navigation, ":" will be
treated as punctuation.
Before:
Unnecessary related suggestions as query is only the last word which is
"d".

Double clicking `ToggleFold` selects the whole action:

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c7f91a6b-06d5-45b6-9d59-61a1b2deda71"
/>
After:
Now query is "one d" and it shows only matched ones.

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1455dfbc-9906-42e8-b8aa-b3f551194ca2"

Double clicking `ToggleFold` only selects part of the action, which is
more refined behavior.

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/34b1c3c2-184f-402f-9dc8-73030a8c370f"
/>
Release Notes:
- Improved autocomplete suggestions in `settings.json`, now whole string
is queried instead of just last word of string, which filters out lot of
false positives.
- Improved selection of action in `keymap.json`, where now you can
double click to only select certain part of action, instead of selecting
whole action.

### 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.

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.

Closes#13376Closes#13338
Release Notes:
- Fixed unhelpful auto-indent suggestions in markdown.
- Added `auto_indent_on_paste` setting, which can be used on a
per-language basis, to configure whether indentation should be adjusted
when pasting. This setting is enabled by default for languages other
than YAML and Markdown.
- Remove "-" from word_character for CSS/JS/TSX/Markdown
- Makes our word-selection behavior consistent across language modes (and consistent with VSCode).
Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/4565
To fix issues with code blocks' parsing in Markdown, a
tree-sitter-markdown library update is needed.
But `tree_sitter::language` is used in many places within core Zed,
which forced more library updates.

Follow-up of
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/12095#issuecomment-2123230762
reverting back part of https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/11558
that was related to `language.toml` parsing.
Now all extensions that define `prettier_parser_name` in their language
configs, will enable formatting untitled buffers without any extra
language settings like
```json
{
"languages": {
"JSON": {
"prettier": {
"allowed": true,
"parser": "json"
}
}
}
}
```
Release Notes:
- Improved ergonomics of untitled buffer formatting with prettier, no
extra language settings are needed by default.
Highlight files ending in `mdwn` as Markdown.
(Ikiwiki uses `mdwn` as the file extension for Markdown.)
This pull request was inspired by this one:
- #1209/
Release Notes:
- Added ".mdwn" as a Markdown file extension.
Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/11517
* Removes forced prettier parser name for languages, making `auto`
command to run prettier on every file by default.
* Moves prettier configs away from plugin language declarations into
language settings
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR adds the ability for extensions to provide certain language
settings via the language `config.toml`.
These settings are then merged in with the rest of the settings when the
language is loaded from the extension.
The language settings that are available are:
- `tab_size`
- `hard_tabs`
- `soft_wrap`
Additionally, for bundled languages we moved these settings out of the
`settings/default.json` and into their respective `config.toml`s .
For languages currently provided by extensions, we are leaving the
values in the `settings/default.json` temporarily until all released
versions of Zed are able to load these settings from the extension.
---
Along the way we ended up refactoring the `Settings::load` method
slightly, introducing a new `SettingsSources` struct to better convey
where the settings are being loaded from.
This makes it easier to load settings from specific locations/sets of
locations in an explicit way.

- 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.
Release Notes:
- N/A
