Display case-sensitive keybindings for vim commands (#24322)
This Pull Request tackles the issue outline in #14287 by changing the
way `KeyBinding`s for vim mode are displayed in the command palette.
It's worth pointing out that this whole thing was pretty much
implemented by Conrad Irwin during a pairing session, I just tried to
clean up some other changes introduced for a different issue, while
improving some comments.

Here's a quick list of the changes introduced:

- Update `KeyBinding` with a new `vim_mode` field to determine whether
the keybinding should be displayed in vim mode.
- Update the way `KeyBinding` is rendered, so as to detect if the
keybinding is for vim mode, if it is, only display keys in uppercase if
they require the shift key.
- Introduce a new global state – `VimStyle(bool)` - use to determine
whether `vim_mode` should be enabled or disabled when creating a new
`KeyBinding` struct. This global state is automatically set by the `vim`
crate whenever vim mode is enabled or disabled.
- Since the app's context is now required when building a `KeyBinding` ,
update a lot of callers to correctly pass this context.

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.
