Release Notes:
- Added two actions `move_to_start_of_larger_syntax_node` and
`move_to_end_of_larger_syntax_node` that move cursors to the start or
end of the parent tree-sitter node
Following up on my PR #41321, this PR only adds the actions that are
used to enable code navigation across syntax nodes, without binding them
to any keys (such as tab) by default. Both actions use the tree-sitter
syntax tree to find parent nodes of the nodes the cursors are currently
in. `move_to_start_of_larger_syntax_node` will then move each cursor to
the first position of the parent nodes while
`move_to_end_of_larger_syntax_node` to a position right after the parent
nodes.
Related issues and discussions: #22349, #14803, #42828, #13736.
This PR doesn't achieve "tab out" functionality in the exact sense as is
requested in these issues as it does not bind the actions to the tab
key. I hope this PR can start some discussion on what the best way
forward for these issues is. In the meantime, users can configure keys
to use these actions as they see fit to emulate "tab out" behavior. For
example,
```
"context": "Editor && vim_mode == insert && !in_snippet && !showing_completions",
"bindings": {
"tab": "editor::MoveToEndOfLargerSyntaxNode",
"shift-tab": "editor::Tab"
}
```
This will enable tab to skip past code structures like brackets when the
cursor is not in a snippet or the autocomplete menu is not open. At the
same time, shift tab will act as a backup tab.

This one does `fim_prefix`, `fim_middle`, and `fim_suffix` in that
order, in the prompt, instead of putting the current middle last.

This PR introduces a project dropdown when working with multiple
folders/projects in one workspace. Here are some interaction details
that I hope improves the UX of working on this scenario significantly:
- The dropdown shows the currently "active" project, which is determined
by:
- Either the file you're currently editing
- Or the file you have just recently switched to
- Some example cases:
- If you are focused on file from project A but switch to project B in
the titlebar, nothing happens. However, as soon as you type on the file
from project A, the title bar will update and your active project will
return to being project A.
- If you're focused on file from project A and change tabs to a file
from project B, the title bar will update, showing project B as the
active one.
- The content you'll see in the branch picker will correspond to the
currently active project
- It's still possible to reach the "Recent Projects" picker through the
project dropdown
- It's possible to do all interactions (trigger dropdown, select active
project, and remove project from workspace) with the keyboard
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e2346757-74df-47c5-bf4d-6354623b6f47
Note that this entire UX is valid only for a multiple folder workspace
scenario; nothing changes for the single project case.
Release Notes:
- Workspace: Improved the UX of working with multiple projects in the
same workspace through introducing a project dropdown that more clearly
shows the currently active project as well as allowing you to change it.
This fixes an issue that we noticed in particular with Mercury edit
predictions.
* [x] fix storage to not go stale
* [x] exclude excerpts that intersect the cursor excerpt
* [x] see if string representation of excerpts can be cached, to avoid
rebuilding it on every prediction

This PR changes the keybinding for the `agent::RejectAll` and
`agent::KeepAll` actions. My initial goal was to free up `cmd-shift-n`
to open a new fresh window again, but that was being used for the reject
all action. Given I had to change the reject all, I figured I had to
change the keep all action, too, to keep them consistent.
Release Notes:
- Agent: Removed keybinding conflict (`cmd-shift-n`) between rejecting
all changes in the agent panel vs. opening a new fresh window.
This PR adds the ability to open local terminals when working in remote
projects. When working in a remote (often actually remoting into a local
container) I always need to run separate terminals outside Zed so I can
run local build tools, scripts, agents, etc. for the related project.
I'd like to be able to run all of these in the same Zed window and this
adds that ability via one-off local terminals.
## Changes
Adds an optional `local` parameter to terminal commands. When set to
`true`, creates a local shell on your machine instead of connecting to
the remote.
### Implementation
- Added `force_local` parameter to terminal creation logic
- Created `create_local_terminal()` method that bypasses remote client
- Updated terminal actions (`NewTerminal`, `NewCenterTerminal`) to
accept optional `local: bool` field (defaults to `false`)
### Usage
**Via keybinding:**
```json
{
"bindings": {
"cmd-t": "workspace::NewCenterTerminal",
"cmd-T": ["workspace::NewCenterTerminal", { "local": true }]
}
},
{
"context": "Terminal",
"bindings": {
"cmd-n": "workspace::NewTerminal",
"cmd-N": ["workspace::NewTerminal", { "local": true }],
},
},
```
**Behavior:**
- Default terminal commands continue to work as before (remote in remote
projects, local in local projects)
- The `local` parameter is optional and defaults to `false`
Release Notes:
- Added support for opening local terminals in remote projects via
`local` parameter on terminal commands.
## Problem:
When working with many `pinned tabs`, they consume significant
horizontal space in the tab bar, leaving less room for unpinned (active
working) tabs, especially on small screens. This creates a poor user
experience as users must constantly scroll to find their working tabs,
or the tabs become too narrow to read file names.

## Solution:
Added a new opt-in setting `tab_bar.show_pinned_tabs_in_separate_row`
that displays pinned and unpinned tabs in two separate rows:
- Top row: Pinned tabs with navigation buttons and tab bar controls
- Bottom row: Unpinned (working) tabs with full horizontal space
- when pinned and not pinned tabs we show 2 rows:
<img width="1512" height="159" alt="2_rows"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/62a85fcc-8073-40d2-a8e4-270efd0d0f21"
/>
This is a well-established UX pattern used in many popular IDEs
including JetBrains products (IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, PyCharm,
RubyMine), Visual Studio, and Eclipse.
The two-row layout only appears when both pinned AND unpinned tabs
exist. If only one type is present, a single row is displayed:
- when only not pinned tabs we show one row:
<img width="1510" height="111" alt="when only not pinned"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/048df4fc-4b17-4ea2-9c5b-b4db91cdfc78"
/>
- when only pinned tabs we show one row:
<img width="1510" height="111" alt="when only pinned tabs"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7ccf2517-8711-4114-815d-6cbb1e89d7e2"
/>
**Important** - Default Behavior Preserved:
- The setting defaults to false - existing users will see no change
whatsoever
- Original tab bar logic is preserved in a dedicated
`render_single_row_tab_bar` method, while the new two-row layout lives
in `render_two_row_tab_bar`. Both methods share common components
(`configure_tab_bar_start`, `configure_tab_bar_end`,
`render_unpinned_tabs_container`, `render_tab_bar_drop_target`) ensuring
DRY code and consistent behavior.
- Purely opt-in - users must explicitly enable this feature via Settings
UI or settings.json
- No impact on default UX - Zed's default tab bar appearance and
behavior remains identical
This implementation ensures zero risk to the existing user experience
while providing an optional enhancement for users who prefer separated
tab rows.
Configuration
Via Settings UI:
- Open Settings (Cmd+,) → Editor section → "Pinned Tabs Layout" toggle

Via settings.json:
```json
{
"tab_bar": {
"show_pinned_tabs_in_separate_row": true
}
}
```

## Tested:
- Verify default behavior unchanged (single row with pinned + unpinned
tabs inline)
- Enable setting → verify two rows appear when both pinned and unpinned
tabs exist
- Enable setting → verify single row when only pinned tabs exist
- Enable setting → verify single row when only unpinned tabs exist
- Verify drag & drop works in both layouts
- Verify navigation buttons and tab bar buttons render correctly
- Verify setting toggle works in Settings UI
- Verify setting works via settings.json
Tested on: MacBook Pro M4, macOS 26.2
## Release Notes:
- Added `tab_bar.show_pinned_tabs_in_separate_row` setting to display
pinned and unpinned tabs in separate rows, giving unpinned tabs full
horizontal space

Fix a bug with `:norm` that disallowed trailing whitespace.
Commands that accept generic args (defined with `args()`) now preserve
trailing whitespace, while commands that accept filenames (defined with
`filename()`) have whitespace pre-trimmed. This allows, for example,
`:norm I ` to correctly insert spaces, matching NeoVim's behavior.
Release Notes:
- vim: Fixed `:norm` command to preserve trailing whitespace in
arguments (e.g., `:norm I ` now correctly inserts two spaces)

Collab projects are considered trusted and remote clients use the
editor-related settings only. A better fix would be sync "not trusted"
indicator with the project host, and disallow clients' iteraction with
that indicator.
Release Notes:
- Fixed collab settings sync causing "not trusted" pop ups for client
When using the `editor::actions::CopyAndTrim` action with a multi-line
selection in vim's Visual Line mode, pasting would crash Zed.
The bug occurred because trimming splits a selection into per-line
ranges, creating multiple `editor::ClipboardSelection` entries. However,
when `is_entire_line` was true (Visual Line mode), no newline separators
were added between these entries in the clipboard text. The paste code
then assumed separators existed and read past the end of the text.
The fix ensures newline separators are always added between trimmed line
ranges, regardless of whether the original selection was in line mode.
Closes#46616
Release Notes:
- Fixed a crash when pasting after using `editor: copy and trim` in
vim's Visual Line mode
Closes#46574
The `default_working_directory()` function in
`crates/terminal_view/src/terminal_view.rs:1585` returned `None` when no
project directory was available. The code comment (now removed)
incorrectly claimed "None implies `~` on whichever machine we end up
on". However, when `None` is passed to `alacritty_terminal`, it uses the
process CWD, not the home directory. On macOS when Zed is launched from
a .`app` bundle, the CWD is `/`.
Added a fallback at the end of` default_working_directory()` that
explicitly returns the home directory when no project directory is
found: `directory.or_else(dirs::home_dir)`
This ensures:
1. `CurrentProjectDirectory` with no project open → home directory
2. `FirstProjectDirectory `with no project open → home directory
3. `AlwaysHome `→ home directory (explicitly, not relying on shell
behavior)
4. Always `{ directory }` with invalid directory → home directory
Release Notes:
- Fixed terminal opening in `/` instead of home directory when no
project is open.
Closes#46365
The behavior I'm trying to handle here is documented in

[@merlinz01

justified here.
# Testing
I've manually replaced the binary of a process running this build, to
simulate an update, and then opened a new tree and I don't see the error
message.
I don't know if there's a reasonable way to unit-test this? Let me know.
It seems like it would require using something like rusty-fork to spawn
a specific binary for the test, which I don't think I see already in the
Zed tree and perhaps it would be overkill to add just for this?
Release Notes:
- Fixed "Failed to load environment variables" after applying an update
This should move almost all access of the threadstore behind the trait,
which unlocks external agents supplying the list

Some language servers return local symbols in `workspace/symbol`
responses, and languages like Julia can have multiple overloads for the
same generic function name. In these cases, symbols may appear identical
in the symbol picker, making it hard to distinguish between them. Adding
line numbers helps users identify the correct symbol.
In the future, we may also want to consider using `containerName` from
the LSP response for additional context.

Adds a very simple diff review button behind a feature flag, which
appears in the gutter of people who have the flag (currently just me;
it's not even enabled for staff, since it doesn't do anything yet).

The scheduler integration (#44810) removed the special handling for
realtime audio tasks that spawn them on a dedicated thread. This caused
a panic in the Mac dispatcher when RealtimeAudio priority was passed to
the regular dispatch path.
This restores the original behavior: RealtimeAudio tasks are spawned on
a dedicated thread via dispatcher.spawn_realtime(), using a bounded
channel to send runnables to it.

Add permission checking to the remaining 7 tools that require granular
permissions:
- `edit_file`: Checks path against permission rules
- `delete_path`: Checks path against permission rules
- `move_path`: Checks both source and destination paths
- `create_directory`: Checks path against permission rules
- `save_file`: Checks all paths, denies if any are blocked
- `fetch`: Checks URL against permission rules
- `web_search`: Checks query against permission rules
Each tool follows the pattern established in PR #46155 (terminal tool):
- `Allow` = proceed without prompting
- `Deny` = return error immediately
- `Confirm` = prompt user for confirmation
The deny > confirm > allow precedence is enforced by the
`decide_permission_from_settings()` function.

This PR creates a unified picker for all the Git-related pickers:
branch, worktree and stash. The main motivation for this is to bring
awareness and ease of access for the worktree and stash pickers that
were previously (and arguably) hidden amidst the sea of commands in the
command palette. As worktrees in particular become more relevant for
AI-related flows, having an easier way to reach for its picker will be
beneficial.
Note that the actions/commands remain the same; you can still look for
`git: worktree` or `git: view stash`. The difference is that these
actions will take you to the unified picker with the correct
corresponding active view.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/99d1cd6f-a19d-47d3-9bca-d7257e7ed5b8
Release Notes:
- Git: Unify the branch, worktree, and stash pickers into one, making it
easier to find and access them from one another.
New workspace/window creates a different `WeakEntity<WorktreeStore>` for
the same path, which was not considered before.
Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/46318
Release Notes:
- Fixed worktree trust not applied in window reuse
