zed-industries/zed v0.181.0-pre on GitHub

Today, we're kicking off a new beta release: Agentic Editing in Zed. If you want access to it, join the beta waitlist.

Enhancements

Added support for automatically inserting a newline when hitting enter between opening and closing tags in JSX/TSX (#27618)
Improved restoration of editor state when files are reopened (folds, selections, scroll position). (#27672)
Added persistent history of command palette usages. (#26948; thanks KyleBarton)
Added correct syntax highlighting for use bounds and async closures in Rust. (#27875)
Mouse cursor now auto-hides in more circumstances. This behavior can be changed by setting hide_mouse to on_typing_and_movement, on_typing or never.
Improved how upper-case characters are handled in keybinds. "Special" keys such as the function keys, control, shift, etc. are now parsed case-insensitively, so for example F8, CTRL, SHIFT are now acceptable alternatives to f8, ctrl, and shift when declaring keybindings. Additionally, upper-case (ASCII) characters will now be converted explicitly to shift + the lowercase version of the character, to match the Vim behavior. (#27813)
Keybinds in context menus will now be dimmed if the corresponding action is currently disabled (#27693; thanks MrSubidubi)
Added ability to double click on empty pane to open a new file (#27521; thanks loczek)
Added support for project panel hiding gitignored files. Use the ProjectPanel::ToggleHideGitIgnore action to toggle the new project_panel.hide_gitignore setting. (#26636; thanks AlvaroParker)

Git

Added the ability to show past commits in Zed. You can view the most recent commit by clicking its message in the commit panel. And when viewing a git blame, you can show any commit by clicking its sha. (#27636)
Ensured that only one repository is shown in the git UI when two subdirectories of a common repository root are open in Zed. (#27884)
Zed will now use GIT_ASKPASS if you already have one set instead of overriding with our own. Fixes git push in Coder. (#27681)
Changed the git panel to prompt before restoring a file. (#27525)
Fixed git repositories being added for files outside the project. (#27894)
Fixed a bug where the git panel displayed a commit's committer in place of its author. (#27856)
Fixed an issue where Git committer was displayed instead of Git author. (#27628)

Terminal: Fixed an issue where editor theme colors (text, background) were incorrectly being used instead of terminal theme colors (terminal.{foreground,background}) (#27617)

Linux Video

Added the ability to specify which GPU Zed uses on Linux by setting the ZED_DEVICE_ID environment variable. You can obtain the device ID of your GPU by running lspci -nn | grep VGA which will output each GPU on one line like:
```
08:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GA104 [GeForce RTX 3070] [10de:2484] (rev a1)
```
where the device ID here is 2484. This value is in hexadecimal, so to force Zed to use this specific GPU you would set the environment variable like so:
```
ZED_DEVICE_ID=0x2484
```
Make sure to export the variable if you choose to define it globally in a .bashrc or similar

Breaking Changes and Notices

Renamed hide_mouse_while_typing setting to hide_mouse (#27677)
Keymaps: Upper-case (ASCII) characters will now be converted explicitly to shift + the lowercase version of the character, to match the Vim behavior. (#27813)
Zed now requires clang 16+ to build on macOS. You may need to upgrade your Xcode.
