This PR opens workflow step editors as preview tabs and closes them upon
exiting the step if they are still in preview mode and they weren't
already open before entering the step.
Making this work was tricky, because we often edit the buffer as part of
displaying the workflow step suggestions to create empty lines where we
can generate. We undo these edits if the transformation is not applied,
but they were causing the preview to be dismissed.
After trying a few approaches, I decided to give workspace `Item`s a
`preserve_preview` method that defaults to false. When the workspace
sees an edit event for the item, it checks if the item wants to preserve
its preview. For buffers, after editing, you can call `refresh_preview`,
which sets a preview version to the current version of the buffer. Any
edits after this version will cause preview to not be preserved.
One final issue is with async auto-indent. To ensure these async edits
don't dismiss the preview, I automatically refresh the preview version
if preview was preserved prior to performing the auto-indent. The
assumption is that these are edits created by other edits, and if we
didn't want to dismiss the preview with the originating edits, then the
auto-indent edits shouldn't dismiss it either.

This commit gives tab button renderers control over the condition in
which they should be displayed. Previously we displayed tab buttons only
when the pane was focused. Now tab renderers can return an Option of
AnyElement, which in turn makes it possible for them to control when and
how they're rendered. Pane and Terminal handlers still check for self
focus condition and Assistant Panel does not.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR renames and added a new pane event to indicate the difference
between `removing` and `removed` event. This change is needed for the
debugger implementation, if you close a pane we have to send a
`terminateThread` request to the adapter because it's not supported to
reopen a pane. So when the pane is removing we have to know what thread
it is what is stored on the panel itself, so we have to be able to get
this information before the pane is actually removed.
So my idea how to fix this was by adding a new event called
`RemovedItem` which is a rename of `RemoveItem` which also makes a bit
more sense because the item is removed at that point. And seeing the
name `RemoveItem` does not really say that it's removed, more like we
are removing the item.

Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR reworks the rendering for tab icons to allow us to render all of
the tab icons—not just file icons—in the tab's start slot.
The `Item` trait now has a separate `tab_icon` method that can be used
to indicate what icon should be shown for the tab.
Release Notes:

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

### 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}}`.

Release Notes:
- Added a 'selection and movement' tool to the Editor's toolbar, as well
as controls to toggle it and a setting to remove it (`"toolbar":
{"selections_menu": true/false }`)
- Changed the behavior of the `+` menu in the tab bar to use standard
actions and keybindings. Replaced 'New Center Terminal' with 'New
Terminal', and 'New Search', with the usual 'Deploy Search'. Also added
item-creating actions to this menu.
- Added an 'application' menu to the titlebar to Linux and Windows
builds of Zed
Release Notes:
- Now when an editor loses focus (e.g. from switching tabs) and then
gains focus again, it doesn't close the inline assist. Instead, it only
closes when you move the cursor outside of it, e.g. by clicking
somewhere else in its parent editor.

However, I have set this to have a default behavior of 'auto': matching
the current platform's conventions, rather than a default value of
'off'.
fixes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/5322.
Release Notes:
- Changed the behavior of `workspace::CloseActiveItem`: when you're
using macOS and there are no open tabs, it now closes the window
([#5322](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/5322)). This can
be controlled with a new setting, `when_closing_with_no_tabs`, to
disable it on macOS, or enable it on other platforms.

Implemented autosave functionality with a delay, which now refrains from
formatting the code upon triggering unless the user manually saves it.
Additionally, enhanced documentation for the `format_on_save` setting
has been added. This resolves the issue where autosave with delay would
inadvertently format the code, disrupting the user experience, as
reported in the corresponding issue.

This is my stab at #7709
I realize the code is flawed. There's no test coverage, I'm using
`clone()` and there are probably better ways to hook into the events.
Also, I didn't know what context to use for the keybinding. But maybe
with some pointers from someone who actually know what they're doing, I
can get this shippable.
Release Notes:
- vim: Added ctrl-6 for
[alternate-file](https://vimhelp.org/editing.txt.html#CTRL-%5E) to

This PR is another step to tabless editing (#6424, #4963). It adds
support for tab bar settings that allow the user to change its placement
or to hide completely.
Configuraton:
```json
"tab_bar": {
"show": true
}
```
Placemnet options are "top", "bottom" and "no".
This PR intentionally doesn't affect tab bars of other panes (Terminal
for instance) to keep code changes small. I guess we'll do the rest in
separate PRs.
Release Notes:
- Added support for configuring the editor tab bar (part of #6424,
#4963).

- Unifies spacing between left and right sides of the tab bar
- Use the default icon color for `end_slot` tools. This should help more
clearly differentiate when forward or backward navigation is disabled
due to the tools on the other side not looking so much like the disabled
navigation arrows.
- Rework the TabBar implementation in `pane.rs` to directly pass in
items to the `start_slot` instead of an unneeded extra horizontal
layout.

Release Notes:
- Standardized some Tab Bar UI elements. You many notice some slight
spacing or color changes.
This PR adds support for replacing the current preview tab when using
GoToDefinition. Previously a tab, that was navigated away from, was

This PR reverts #10740, as it makes it too easy to close Zed
accidentally.
Quitting Zed when you don't mean to is disruptive and can break your
flow. This is even more the case when you're collaborating.
Therefore, we shouldn't make it easy to quit Zed when you don't mean to.
If we want to bring back this behavior it needs to have a corresponding
setting that should, in my opinion, be **off** by default. Additionally,
someone made the good point that this behavior should not be present on
Linux or Windows.
This reverts commit 5102e37a5b.
Release Notes:
- Changed `cmd-w` with no open tabs to no longer close the window
(preview-only).
This is a crate only addition of a new version of the AssistantPanel.
We'll be putting this behind a feature flag while we iron out the new
experience.

I'm not a huge fan of this change (& I expect the placement to change).
The plan is to have the button in a toolbar of terminal panel, but I'm
not sure if occupying a whole line of vertical space for a single button
is worth it; I suppose we might want to put more of tasks ui inside of
that toolbar.
Release Notes:
- Removed task status indicator and added "Spawn task" action to
terminal panel context menu.
This PR includes two relevant changes:
- Platform binds (super, windows, cmd) will now parse on all platforms,
regardless of which one is being used. While very counter-intuitive
(this means that `cmd-d` will actually be triggered by `win-d` on
windows) this makes it possible to reuse keymap files across platforms
easily
- There is now a KeyContext `os == linux`, `os == macos` or `os ==
windows` available in keymaps. This allows users to specify certain
blocks of keybinds only for one OS, allowing you to minimize the amount
of keymappings that you have to re-configure for each platform.
Release Notes:
- Added `os` KeyContext, set to either `linux`, `macos` or `windows`
- Fixed keymap parsing errors when `cmd` was used on linux, `super` was
used on mac, etc.
We were effectively discarding value set by display_nav_history_buttons
once we've updated settings for a pane. This commit adds another bit of
state to display_nav_history_buttons by allowing it to hard-deny setting
updates.
Release Notes:
- Fixed a bug that caused disabled navigation buttons to show up in
terminal panel.
This introduces multiple improvements to the drop targets.
## Hitbox shape
Currently, hitboxes are rectangles, where the vertical ones reach all
the way to the ends, which reduces the space for the horizontal ones,
making the hitboxes a bit awkward in the corners. This new approach just
determines the closest side.
Visual representation:

## Hitbox size
The width of the hitbox was currently always 8 rem all around. In setups
with many columns or rows, or when the font size was very large, this
could potentially overlap the center hitbox, not allowing to drop a tab
without another split. Now the width of the hitboxes are a fraction of
the smaller size of its parents width and height. This makes sure the
hitboxes have the same width all around, but never fully block the
center hitbox.
I've also made this value configurable through the new
`drop_target_size` config which takes a `f32` fraction and is set to 0.2
by default.
Not sure if this is worth mentioning, but this technically allows to
remove the split hitboxes all together by setting it to `0.0`, or
removing the center hitbox by setting it to any value `>=0.5`. Not that
this is necessary, but it would be possible now.
## Larger visualization
The visual overlay when using one of the side hitboxes were also `8em`
wide. Since their logical size now changed, and it can't currently be
represented with GPUI (without abusing the `canvas` element), I made the
visual feedback take half of the width or height of the available space,
just like how other editors do this.
Also, the opacity/alpha value set by a theme is currently ignored. This
change now respects the themes opacity for it!
## Respect alpha value
Currently, the alpha value of `drop_target.background` is ignored. Even
the default themes set a value that is overwritten by a hard coded
value. I have removed this hard coded value and it now respects the
alpha value.
This change affects existing themes, see
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/10643#issuecomment-2059641528
## ~~No more lag while dragging over gutter~~ Extracted into #10737
~~It looks like the editor had a small optimization to drop events when
hovering the gutter. This also happens while dragging a tab over the
gutter, and causes some stuttering. Please correct me if this wasn't
just a small optimization, but I could not derive a different reason for
this code to exist.~~
Here is a video that tries to show all those changes with a before on
the left, and the after on the right:
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/assets/1282767/f97f3420-513f-410f-a1c8-7966429ad348
Release Notes:
- Added `drop_target_size` setting. This should be a fractional percent
(e.g., `0.5`).
- Improved the hitboxes for drop targets.
- Updated drop targets to respect the alpha channel of the
`drop_target.background` color.
There was an edge case where the project panel selection would not be
updated when opening a lot of tabs quickly using the preview tab
feature.
I spent way too long debugging this, thankfully @ConradIrwin spotted it
in like 5 minutes 🎉
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR implements the preview tabs feature from VSCode.
More details and thanks for the head start of the implementation here
#6782.
Here is what I have observed from using the vscode implementation ([x]
-> already implemented):
- [x] Single click on project file opens tab as preview
- [x] Double click on item in project panel opens tab as permanent
- [x] Double click on the tab makes it permanent
- [x] Navigating away from the tab makes the tab permanent and the new
tab is shown as preview (e.g. GoToReference)
- [x] Existing preview tab is reused when opening a new tab
- [x] Dragging tab to the same/another panel makes the tab permanent
- [x] Opening a tab from the file finder makes the tab permanent
- [x] Editing a preview tab will make the tab permanent
- [x] Using the space key in the project panel opens the tab as preview
- [x] Handle navigation history correctly (restore a preview tab as
preview as well)
- [x] Restore preview tabs after restarting
- [x] Support opening files from file finder in preview mode (vscode:
"Enable Preview From Quick Open")
I need to do some more testing of the vscode implementation, there might
be other behaviors/workflows which im not aware of that open an item as
preview/make them permanent.

This PR changes ways the Find/Replace functionality in the
Buffer/Project Search is accessible via shortcuts. It makes those panels
work the same way as in VS Code and Sublime Text.
The details are described in the issue: [Make Find/Replace easier to
use](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/9142)
There's a difficulty with the Linux keybindings:
VS Code uses on MacOS (this PR replicates it):
| Action | Buffer Search | Project Search |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Find | `cmd-f` | `cmd-shift-f` |
| Replace | `cmd-alt-f` | `cmd-shift-h` |
VS Code uses on Linux (this PR replicates all but one):
| Action | Buffer Search | Project Search |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Find | `ctrl-f` | `ctrl-shift-f` |
| Replace | `ctrl-h` ❗ | `ctrl-shift-h` |
The problem is that `ctrl-h` is already taken by the `editor::Backspace`
action in Zed on Linux.
There's two options here:
1. Change keybinding for `editor::Backspace` on Linux to something else,
and use `ctrl-h` for the "replace in buffer" action.
2. Use some other keybinding on Linux in Zed. This PR introduces
`ctrl-r` for this purpose, though I'm not sure it's the best choice.
What do you think?
fixes#9142
Release Notes:
- Improved access to "Find/Replace in Buffer" and "Find/Replace in
Files" via shortcuts (#9142).
Optionally, include screenshots / media showcasing your addition that
can be included in the release notes.
- N/A
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`.

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`.

The Tab Switcher implementation (#7653):
- `ctrl-tab` opens the Tab Switcher and moves selection to the
previously selcted tab. It also cycles selection forward.
- `ctrl-shift-tab` opens the Tab Switcher and moves selection to the
last tab in the list. It also cycles selection backward.
- Tab is selected and the Tab Switcher is closed on the shortcut
modifier key (`ctrl` by default) release.
- List items are in reverse activation history order.
- The list reacts to the item changes in background (new tab, tab
closed, tab title changed etc.)
Intentionally not in scope of this PR:
- File icons
- Close buttons
I will come back to these features. I think they need to be implemented
in separate PRs, and be synchronized with changes in how tabs are
rendered, to reuse the code as it's done in the current implementation.
The Tab Switcher looks usable even without them.
Known Issues:
Tab Switcher doesn't react to mouse click on a list item. It's not a tab
switcher specific problem, it looks like ctrl-clicks are not handled the
same way in Zed as cmd-clicks. For instance, menu items can be activated
with cmd-click, but don't react to ctrl-click. Since the Tab Switcher's
default keybinding is `ctrl-tab`, the user can only click an item with
`ctrl` pushed down, thus preventing `on_click()` from firing.
fixes#7653, #7321
Release Notes:
- Added Tab Switcher which is accessible via `ctrl-tab` and
`ctrl-shift-tab` (#7653) (#7321)
Related issues:
- Unblocks #7356, I hope 😄
How it looks and works (it's only `ctrl-tab`'s and `ctrl-shift-tab`'s,
no `enter`'s or mouse clicks):
