This week's release includes support for using the basedpyright Python language server by default, external agents over SSH, plan mode for Claude Code, Git uncommit and blame view in multi buffers, more syntax tree navigation commands, a more familiar terminal toggling action that matches VSCode and JetBrains behavior, better URL detection in the terminal, many language improvements, and more!

Features

General

• Added blame view and inline blame support for multi buffer editors. (#37366)
• Added a new action terminal::Toggle that is by default bound to 'ctrl-`'. This copies the default behavior from VSCode and JetBrains where the terminal opens and closes correctly. If you'd like the old behavior you can rebind 'ctrl-`' to terminal::ToggleFocus. (#37585)
• Terminal: Improved URL detection to now correctly handle trailing punctuation from sentence context. URLs ending with periods (like https://example.com.) and unbalanced parentheses (like https://example.com/path)) are now properly detected without including the trailing punctuation. (#37684; thanks Mearman)
• Terminal: Improved terminal path hyperlink navigation by considering the terminal working directory. (#36962; thanks davewa)
• Added project_panel::OpenSplitVertical and project_panel::OpenSplitHorizontal actions for opening files in splits. (#36973; thanks tie)
• Added editor::GoToNextDocumentHighlight and editor::GoToPreviousDocumentHighlight to navigate to the next LSP document highlight. Useful for navigating to the next usage of a certain symbol. (#35994; thanks MarcoPolo)
• Added the ability to specify a human-readable project name for each worktree. (#36713; thanks Warpten)
• Added editor: select {next,previous} syntax node actions. (#35053; thanks idanov)
• Added a new diagnostics: display current file command to view diagnostics for the currently open file. (#34430; thanks dinocosta)
• Added line ending selector. (#35392; thanks MatinAniss)
• Changed the syntax tree view to stay attached to the buffer it was opened in, similar to the Markdown preview. Use the UseActiveEditor action when the view is shown to change it to the last focused editor. (#37570)
• Updated error view to show the error in invalid buffer view. (#37657)
• Improved fallback open picker to be more intuitive. (#37564)
• Changed remote projects to sync in local user settings. (#37560)
• Linux: Migrated to newer version of Blade upstream. (#37516; thanks WERDXZ)
• Added ability to create sub-directories when renaming a file in file finder. (#37437; thanks Zertsov)
• Improved word deletions to consider whitespace sequences and brackets by default. (#37352)

Bug Fixes

• Agent: Fixed a crash that occurred when typing an IME character right after a mention. (#37847)

Breaking Changes and Notices

• Removed the chat feature from Zed (Sorry to the 5 of you who use this on the regular!). (#37789)
• Added built-in support for the basedpyright language server for Python. basedpyright is now enabled by default, and pyright (the primary Python language server previously) remains available, but is disabled by default. This supersedes the basedpyright extension, which can be uninstalled. Advantages of basedpyright over pyright include support for inlay hints, semantic highlighting, auto-import code actions, and stricter type checking. To switch back to pyright, add the following configuration to settings.json:

{
  "languages": {
    "Python": {
      "language_servers": ["pyright", "pylsp", "!basedpyright"]
    }
  }
}

• Added bindings for navigating between sibling nodes in the syntax tree on macOS (cmd-ctrl-{up/down} for SelectPreviousSyntaxNode and SelectNextSyntaxNode). Breaking change: the existing syntax tree parent/child navigation bindings have moved from ctrl-shift-{left/right} to cmd-ctrl-{left/right} to create a unified four-directional navigation pattern where all syntax tree operations use the same modifier combination. We could not use the previous base modifiers without breaking more bindings. (#37874)
