This week's release includes automatic unfolding of folded code when jumping to a location, applying inlay hint edits with a double-click, context compaction for external agents, and new Gemini 4 Argon and Amazon Bedrock models.
Features
AI
- Added the Gemini 4 Argon model (
gemini-4-argon) to the Google AI provider. (#65565; thanks LorenzoBiassio) - Added GPT-6 Astra, Claude Fable 5.1, and Claude Opus 5.5 to the Amazon Bedrock provider. (#64201, #64685; thanks IbrahimKhan12 and alexandergunnarson)
- Enabled session notices and context compaction for external agents using ACP. (#65414)
Git
- Improved the branch picker to make clear that deleting a remote-tracking branch only removes the local ref, and removed the force delete option for remote-tracking branches, since it had no effect. (#61793; thanks lld4n)
Languages
- Added support for applying inlay hint text edits by double-clicking a hint, or by running
editor: accept inlay hintwith the cursor at the hint. (#64789)
Remote Development
- Improved SSH remote connection time by detecting the remote shell, platform, and OS version in one command instead of three, which helps most when connecting from Windows. (#65065; thanks Huliiiiii)
Other
- Added automatic unfolding of folded sections when jumping to a location via go to line, go to definition/declaration/implementation/type definition, symbol navigation, the outline and project symbol pickers, multibuffer location results, and navigation history. (#65217; thanks henne90gen)
- Added an "Open SVG Preview" option to the Project Panel's context menu for SVG files. (#65539; thanks skmanoj322)
- Added the
tab_switcher.show_file_previewsetting, which controls whether files are previewed in the editor while cycling through the tab switcher (defaults totrue). (#56235; thanks sebascadpi) - Improved the tab switcher so it no longer changes selection on mouse hover and no longer delays showing its popover; you can still click entries to switch tabs. (#65546)
- Improved startup time when restoring hundreds of editor selections. (#65171)
- Improved startup time when using custom icon themes. (#65173)
- Reduced Zed's binary size by about 33% on macOS, 28% on Windows, and 7% on Linux. (#65168)
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug where environment variables, including secrets, passed to external agents and MCP servers in remote projects were visible in the local machine's process list. (#65174)
- Fixed prompts to external agents being slow to send, or never sending, because of unneeded Git checkpoints. (#65304)
- Fixed the remote server failing to start when connecting to a Windows host over SSH. (#55292; thanks sergio-u)
- Fixed
ctrl-oandctrl-iin Vim mode not navigating back and forward when a Markdown preview was focused. (#65299; thanks gitKashish) - Fixed a bug where archiving an agent thread did nothing and kept a CPU core busy when the thread's linked worktree folder had been deleted. (#65578)
- Fixed a bug where case conversion and other text transformation commands duplicated the word when multiple cursors were inside it. (#65291; thanks gitKashish)
- Fixed a bug where navigating back skipped a Markdown preview tab after switching to another file. (#65299; thanks gitKashish)
- Fixed a bug where notification sounds could stop playing after an audio output error, and on Linux an audio thread could keep using a full CPU core until Zed restarted. (#65158)
- Fixed a bug where the Git Panel's commit editor buttons changed opacity when hovering over empty space. (#65448; thanks shuvroroy)
- Fixed a bug where the Project Panel's "Open Markdown Preview" option did not appear for files opened on their own (e.g.
zed README.md). (#65539; thanks skmanoj322) - Fixed a bug where the Settings UI sidebar did not highlight the subsection being scrolled through, including the last short subsections of a page. (#65172; thanks mayurathavale18)
- Fixed a visual artifact at the corners of scrollable code blocks when hovered. (#64978)
- Fixed blurred window backgrounds not blurring on macOS 27. (#65361; thanks biw)
- Fixed edit predictions showing an unlimited allowance and available controls when a team organization with no active subscription was selected. (#65301)
- Fixed external agents' first updates in a new thread sometimes being dropped, and agent error output being missing when an agent exited during startup. (#65339)
- Fixed extra space between the scrollbar and the header of terminals in the Agent Panel. (#65358; thanks chrisdrackett)
- Fixed Gemini models failing with an error after a tool call returned an image. (#65576)
- Fixed hover popovers flickering or closing too early on mouse movement with language servers that omit range information. (#64032; thanks daydalek)
- Fixed images inside center- or right-aligned HTML blocks rendering left-aligned in Markdown Preview. (#63166; thanks pray3m)
- Fixed OpenAI-compatible edit predictions failing on servers that limit stop sequences to 4. (#65360; thanks mischah)
- Fixed search not working in the debugger's terminal, opened with
cmd-f(macOS) orctrl-shift-f(Linux/Windows). (#56863; thanks iamsushank) - Fixed text finder queries filled in from the current selection being treated as a regular expression instead of literal text when regex mode was on. (#65321; thanks Syozik)
- Fixed the Collab Panel's empty-state styling not matching the Git Panel. (#65290; thanks arondubovszky)
- Fixed wrapped links in Markdown tables being partially unclickable in Markdown previews and agent responses. (#65366; thanks julian-bruyers)
