Vim / Helix

• Added in Helix mode the "amp jump" navigation (g w) that displays two-character labels on words for quick cursor navigation.

This prevents duplicate containers when the same folder is opened with both Zed and the devcontainer CLI / VS Code. (#54302; thanks antont)

• Fixed the file extension recognition logic for images in the agent UI being case sensitive. It is now case insensitive. (#54786)

• Fixed trailing ; being wrapped to a new line instead of staying attached to the preceding word. (#54546)

• Fixed whitespace rendering in Zed. (#54798)
• Fixed Zed exiting on startup when cancelling a failed devcontainer connection. It now falls back to an empty workspace. (#54734; thanks maxmalkin)

• Fixed the mouse cursor incorrectly hiding when the "Unsaved edits" prompt appeared or when clicking some panel buttons with search bars. (#55664)

Breaking Changes and Notices

• Removed the project_name project setting. It only ever affected the OS window title, and the expectation that it would show up in the project switcher and elsewhere is better served by a future UI-driven, per-workspace setting stored locally. (#54511)
• Renamed the hide_mouse setting value on_typing_and_movement to on_typing_and_action to better describe that it hides the cursor when a keystroke resolves to an action. Existing settings are auto-migrated. (#55664)
