Release Notes:
- settings: Major internal changes to settings. The primary user-facing
effect is that some settings which did not make sense in project
settings files are no-longer read from there. (For example the inline
blame settings)

This PR removes the `/cargo-workspace` slash command.
We never fully shipped this—with it requiring explicit opt-in via a
setting—and it doesn't seem like the feature is needed in an agentic
world.
Release Notes:
- Removed the `/cargo-workspace` slash command.
Release Notes:
- Added the `agent. message_editor_min_lines `setting to allow users to
customize the agent panel message editor default size by using a
different minimum number of lines.

Closes#37829
This PR introduces and exposes `REPLSettings` to control the number of
lines and columns in the REPL. These settings are integrated into the
existing configuration system, allowing for customization and management
through the standard settings interface.
#### Changes
- Added `REPLSettings` struct with `max_number_of_lines` and
`max_number_of_columns` fields.
- Integrated `REPLSettings` with the settings system by implementing the
`Settings` trait.
- Ensured compatibility with the workspace and existing settings
infrastructure.
Release Notes:
- Add configuration "repl" to settings to configure max lines and
columns for repl.

At RustConf we were demo'ing zed, and it continually popped open the
chat panel.
We're usually inured to this because the Chat panel doesn't open unless
a Guest
is in the channel, but it made me sad that we were showing a long stream
of
vacuous comments and unresponded to questions on every demo screen.
We may bring chat back in the future, but we need more thought on the
UX, and
we need to rebuild the backend to not use the existing collab server
that we're
trying to move off of.
Release Notes:
- Removed the chat feature from Zed (Sorry to the 5 of you who use this
on the regular!)
Minor docs fix.
Seems like 0a4ff2f475 accidentally added
"hidden" to the docs of both – `close_position` and `show_close_button`.
Release Notes:
- N/A

Closes #ISSUE
This PR includes the necessary work to get `EditorSettings` showing up
in the settings UI. Including making the `path` field on
`SettingsUiItem`'s optional so that top level items such as
`EditorSettings` which have `Settings::KEY = None` (i.e. are treated
like `serde(flatten)`) have their paths computed correctly for JSON
reading/updating.
It includes the first examples of a pattern I expect to continue with
the `SettingsUi` work with respect to settings reorganization, that
being adding missing defaults, and adding explicit values (or aliases)
to settings which previously relied on `null` being a value for optional
fields.
Release Notes:
- N/A *or* Added/Fixed/Improved ...
## Goal
This PR creates the initial settings ui structure with the primary goal
of making a settings UI that is
- Comprehensive: All settings are available through the UI
- Correct: Easy to understand the underlying JSON file from the UI
- Intuitive
- Easy to implement per setting so that UI is not a hindrance to future
settings changes
### Structure
The overall structure is settings layer -> data layer -> ui layer.
The settings layer is the pre-existing settings definitions, that
implement the `Settings` trait. The data layer is constructed from
settings primarily through the `SettingsUi` trait, and it's associated
derive macro. The data layer tracks the grouping of the settings, the
json path of the settings, and a data representation of how to render
the controls for the setting in the UI, that is either a marker value
for the component to use (avoiding a dependency on the `ui` crate) or a
custom render function.
Abstracting the data layer from the ui layer allows crates depending on
`settings` to implement their own UI without having to add additional UI
dependencies, thus avoiding circular dependencies. In cases where custom
UI is desired, and a creating a custom render function in the same crate
is infeasible due to circular dependencies, the current solution is to
implement a marker for the component in the `settings` crate, and then
handle the rendering of that component in `settings_ui`.
### Foundation
This PR creates a macro and a trait both called `SettingsUi`. The
`SettingsUi` trait is added as a new trait bound on the `Settings`
trait, this allows the type system to guarantee that all settings
implement UI functionality. The macro is used to derived the trait for
most types, and can be modified through attributes for unique cases as
well.
A derive-macro is used to generate the settings UI trait impl, allowing
it the UI generation to be generated from the static information in our
code base (`default.json`, Struct/Enum names, field names, `serde`
attributes, etc). This allows the UI to be auto-generated for the most
part, and ensures consistency across the UI.
#### Immediate Follow ups
- Add a new `SettingsPath` trait that will be a trait bound on
`SettingsUi` and `Settings`
- This trait will replace the `Settings::key` value to enable
`SettingsUi` to infer the json path of it's derived type
- Figure out how to render `Option<T> where T: SettingsUi` correctly
- Handle `serde` attributes in the `SettingsUi` proc macro to correctly
get json path from a type's field and identity
Release Notes:
- N/A

Closes#35787Closes#17890Closes#28789Closes#36495
How it works:
For highlights (and selections) within the visible rows of the editor,
we split them row by row. This is efficient since the number of visible
rows is constant. For each row, all highlights and selections, which may
overlap, are flattened using a line sweep. This produces non-overlapping
consecutive segments for each row, each with a blended background color.
Next, for each row, we split text runs into smaller runs to adjust its
color using APCA contrast. Since both text runs and segment are
non-overlapping and consecutive, we can use two-pointer on them to do
this.
For example, a text run for the variable red might be split into two
runs if a highlight partially covers it. As a result, one part may
appear as red, while the other appears as a lighter red, depending on
the background behind it.
Result:

Release Notes:
- Improved text contrast when selected or highlighted in the editor.
This PR updates the language server configuration for Elixir and HEEx to
not start the [Expert](https://github.com/elixir-lang/expert) language
server by default.
While Expert is the official Elixir language server, it is still early,
so we don't want to make it the default just yet.
Release Notes:
- Updated the default Elixir and HEEx language server settings to not
start the Expert language server.
As of
db52fc3655,
the Kotlin extension has two language servers. However, following that
change, no default language server for Kotlin was configured within this
repo, which led to two language servers being activated for Kotlin by
default.
This PR makes `kotlin-language-server` the default language server for
the extension. This also ensures that the [documentation within the
repository](https://github.com/zed-extensions/kotlin?tab=readme-ov-file#kotlin-lsp)
matches what is actually the case.
Release Notes:
- kotlin: Made `kotlin-language-server` the default language server.
Removes `diagnostics.cargo.fetch_cargo_diagnostics` settings as those
are not needed for the flycheck diagnostics to run.
This setting disabled `checkOnSave` in rust-analyzer and allowed to
update diagnostics via flycheck in the project diagnostics editor with
the "refresh" button.
Instead, `"checkOnSave": false,` can be set manually as
https://zed.dev/docs/languages/rust#more-server-configuration example
shows and flycheck commands can be called manually from anywhere,
including the diagnostics panel, to refresh the diagnostics.
Release Notes:
- Removed redundant `diagnostics.cargo.fetch_cargo_diagnostics` settings
Introduce `min_words_query_len` threshold for automatic word completion
display, and set it to 3 by default.
Re-enable word completions in Markdown and Plaintext.
Release Notes:
- Introduced `min_words_query_len` threshold for automatic word
completion display, and set it to 3 by default to make them less
intrusive
Minor tweak in the wording of the comments for the default settings
regarding the `dock` option of the panels, in order to make them
congruent across all panels.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/11780
While auto indentation is generally nice to have, there are cases where
it is currently just not good enough for some languages (e.g. Haskell)
or users just straight up do not want their editor to auto indent for
them. Hence, this PR adds the possibilty to disable auto indentation for
either all language or on a per-language basis. Manual invocation via
the `editor: auto indent` action will continue to work.
Also takes a similar approach as
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/31569 to ensure performance
is fine for larger multicursor edits.
Release Notes:
- Added the possibility to configure auto indentation for all languages
and per language. Add `"auto_indent": false"` to your settings or
desired language to disable the feature.
This PR removes the `/docs` slash command.
We never fully shipped this—with it requiring explicit opt-in via a
setting—and it doesn't seem like the feature is needed in an agentic
world.
Release Notes:
- Removed the `/docs` slash command.
Ensures issues like #36242 and #36295 do not arise where users are
confused that the agent panel does not follow the default UI font size
whilst also keeping the possibility of customization. The agent font
size was matching the UI font size previously alredy, which makes it
easier to change it for most scenarios.
Also cleans up some related logic around modifying the font sizes.
Release Notes:
- The agent panel font size will now inherit the UI font size by default
if not set in your settings.
Release Notes:
- Added an option for the status_bar.cursor_position_button. Setting to
`false` will hide the button. It defaults to `true`.
This builds off the recent work to hide the language selection button
(https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/33977). I tried to follow
that pattern, and to pick a clear name for the option, but any
feedback/change is welcome.

The Zed Plex fonts were found to violate the OFL by using the word Plex
in the name.
Lilex has better ligatures and box-drawing characters than Zed Plex
Mono, but Zed Plex Sans should be identical
to IBM Plex Sans.
Closes#15542Closeszed-industries/zed-fonts#31
Release Notes:
- The "Zed Plex Sans" and "Zed Plex Mono" fonts have been replaced with
"IBM Plex Sans" and "Lilex". The old names still work for backward
compatibility. Other than fixing line-drawing characters, and improving
the ligatures, there should be little visual change as the fonts are all
of the same family.
- Introduced ".ZedSans" and ".ZedMono" as aliases to allow us to easily
change the default fonts in the future. These currently default to "IBM
Plex Sans" and "Lilex" respectively.
Closes#32538
This PR adjusts the defaults for splitting panes along the horizontal
and vertical actions. Based upon user feedback, the adjusted values seem
more reasonable as default settings, hence, go with these instead.
Release Notes:
- Changed the default split directions for the `pane: split horizontal`
and `pane: split vertical` actions. You can restore the old behavior by
modifying the `pane_split_direction_horizontal` and
`pane_split_direction_vertical` values in your settings.
Release Notes:
- Added settings status_bar.show_active_language_button to show/hide the
language button in the status bar.
The motivation for this is visual, I have had zero issues with its
functionality.
The language switcher can still be accessed by the command palette,
menu, or a keyboard shortcut.
------
This is my first Zed and first Rust PR, so criticism is very welcome.
I know there has been discussion around how the status bar settings are
structured and named, and I am happy to change it to whatever is best. I
was also not sure what order to put it in in the settings default.json.
Feedback welcome.
Here is a picture of it in action:

This mirrors VSCode setting that inspired `snippet_sort_order` to begin
with; VSCode supports inline/top/bottom/none, with none completely
disabling snippet completion. See
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editing/intellisense#_snippets-in-suggestions
This is helpful for LSPs that do not allow configuring snippets via
configuration such as clangd.
Release Notes:
- Added `none` as one of the values for `snippet_sort_order` to
completely disable snippet completion.
