vim: Add exchange (#24678)
Implements [vim-exchange](https://github.com/tommcdo/vim-exchange)
functionality.

Lets you swap the content of one selection/object/motion with another.

The default key bindings are the same as in exchange:
- `cx` to begin the exchange in normal mode. Visual mode does not have a
default binding due to conflicts.
- `cxx` selects the current line
- `cxc` clears the selection
- If the previous operation was an exchange, `.` will repeat that
operation.

Closes #22759

## Overlapping regions

According to the vim exchange readme:

> If one region is fully contained within the other, it will replace the
containing region.

Zed does the following:
- If one range is completely contained within another: the smaller
region replaces the larger region (as in exchange.vim)
- If the ranges only partially overlap, then we abort and cancel the
exchange. I don't think we can do anything sensible with that. Not sure
what the original does, evil-exchange aborts.

## Not implemented: cross-window exchange

Emacs's evil-exchange allows you to exchange across buffers. There is no
code to accommodate that in this PR. Personally, it'd never occurred to
me before working on this and I've never needed it. As such, I'll leave
that implementation for whomever needs it.

As an upside; this allows you to have concurrent exchange states per
buffer, which may come in handy.

## Bonus

Also adds "replace with register" for the full line with `grr` 🐕 This
was an oversight from a previous PR.

Release notes:

- Added an implementation of `vim-exchange`
- Fixed: Added missing default key binding for `Vim::CurrentLine` for
replace with register mode (`grr`)

Zed Docs

Welcome to Zed's documentation.

This is built on push to main and published automatically to https://zed.dev/docs.

To preview the docs locally you will need to install mdBook (cargo install mdbook) and then run:

mdbook serve docs

Preprocessor

We have a custom mdbook preprocessor for interfacing with our crates (crates/docs_preprocessor).

If for some reason you need to bypass the docs preprocessor, you can comment out [preprocessor.zed_docs_preprocessor] from the book.toml.:

Images and videos

To add images or videos to the docs, upload them to another location (e.g., zed.dev, GitHub's asset storage) and then link out to them from the docs.

Putting binary assets such as images in the Git repository will bloat the repository size over time.

Internal notes:

  • We have a Cloudflare router called docs-proxy that intercepts requests to zed.dev/docs and forwards them to the "docs" Cloudflare Pages project.
  • CI uploads a new version to the Pages project from .github/workflows/deploy_docs.yml on every push to main.

Table of Contents

The table of contents files (theme/page-toc.js and theme/page-doc.css) were initially generated by mdbook-pagetoc.

Since all this preprocessor does does is generate the static assets, we don't need to keep it around once they have been generated.

Referencing Keybindings and Actions

When referencing keybindings or actions, use the following formats:

Keybindings:

{#kb scope::Action} - e.g., {#kb zed::OpenSettings}.

This will output a code element like: <code>Cmd+,|Ctrl+,</code>. We then use a client-side plugin to show the actual keybinding based on the user's platform.

By using the action name, we can ensure that the keybinding is always up-to-date rather than hardcoding the keybinding.

Actions:

{#action scope::Action} - e.g., {#action zed::OpenSettings}.

This will render a human-readable version of the action name, e.g., "zed: open settings", and will allow us to implement things like additional context on hover, etc.

Creating New Templates

New templates can be created by implementing the Template trait for your desired template in the docs_preprocessor crate.
