code_actions_on_format setting. The code_actions_on_format setting has been un-deprecated, and affected users will have the bad migration rolled back with an updated migration (#40409)0.208.4
Oct 15, 2025
This week's release might be our largest ever, it includes:
As well as: significant performance improvements for the project panel when working in large projects, support for action sequences in keymap bindings allowing you to chain multiple actions together, support for HTML tables and HTML block quotes in Markdown preview, more image types supported in the agent panel, and support for the outline modal in channel notes.
agent_buffer_font_size setting and renamed agent_font_size to agent_ui_font_size, allowing for granular buffer font size control in the agent panel vs. regular editors. (#39468)"title_bar": {"show_branch_icon": true}. (#38029; thanks lzakharov)"terminal": {"keep_selection_on_copy": false}."cmd-alt-a": ["action::Sequence", ["editor::SelectLargerSyntaxNode", "editor::Copy", "editor::UndoSelection"]]SelectPrevious and SelectAllMatches items to the Selection app menu. (#39262; thanks sir-geronimo)Close Multibuffers pane context menu entry. (#39199)"status_bar": { "experimental.show": false} to hide the status bars. (#39430; thanks mansoorkhan96)granted_extension_capabilities setting to control the capabilities granted to extensions. (#39472)terminal.shell in project settings (#39795)Do Nothing window double click setting not being respected. (#39311; thanks mkozjak)Enter added a new line instead of confirming English input. (#39599)AltGr to avoid keybinds preventing character input. (#38925; thanks Sh4rK)% motion, where the cursor could end up in a closing HTML tag instead of the matching bracket. (#39620)C. (#39715)sort_by_path: true in the git panel. (#39678)delete line when following line contains multibyte characters. (#39560)editor: fold at level closing regions containing selections. (#39396)code_actions_on_format in favor of specifying code actions to run on format inline in the formatter array. (#39983)Settings: Removed support for having format steps in both the format_on_save and formatter settings for languages. format_on_save is now restricted to the values of "on" and "off", and all format steps should be set under the formatter key. If you were using format_on_save but not formatter this will be migrated for you, otherwise it will require a manual migration. (#39400)
Settings: Changed code action format in formatter and format_on_save settings. (#39375)
Previous format:
{
"code_actions": {
"source.organizeImports": true,
"source.fixAll": true
}
}
New format:
[
{"code_action": "source.organizeImports"},
{"code_action": "source.fixAll"}
]
After #39246, code actions run sequentially in order. The structure now reflects this and aligns with other formatter options (e.g., language servers).
Both the formatter settings will be auto-migrated.
Zed will no longer use node from your $PATH if it's older than 22.x (previously, the minimum version was 20.x). Instead, it will fall back to its bundled node. This fixes being unable to use Copilot if an older node was installed system-wide. (#39632)

This week's release includes better token usage when @-mentioning directories in the agent panel while tools are available, a git: rename branch action, better symbol outline for JS/TS, additions to Vim/Helix modes, an improved agent panel settings view, and automatic Markdown URL embedding on paste.

This week's release includes a stash picker, apply and drop git stash commands, the ability to amend commit messages without having any changes in your working copy, better drag-and-drop support in the project panel, better error reporting when the auto-updater fails, and improved token consumption when mentioning large files in the agent panel. Also, for the Pythonistas π, Zed now directly ships with the ty language server (disabled by default) and Ruff (enabled by default) - no need to install the extensions for these anymore!

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!
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)https://example.com.) and unbalanced parentheses (like https://example.com/path)) are now properly detected without including the trailing punctuation. (#37684; thanks Mearman)project_panel::OpenSplitVertical and project_panel::OpenSplitHorizontal actions for opening files in splits. (#36973; thanks tie)editor::GoToNextDocumentHighlight and editor::GoToPreviousDocumentHighlight to navigate to the next LSP document highlight.

(#37359; thanks the-kenny)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"]
}
}
}
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)0.203.5

Last week we launched Agent Client Protocol (ACP), an open standard for integrating external agents with editors. Today we're launching beta support for Claude Code in Zed via our ACP adapter for the Claude Code SDK! Read more about it in the blog post.
This week's release also contains plenty of improvements to Zed itself. An enhanced tab switcher with diagnostics indicators and preview functionality; file icons in multibuffers; the ability to run rust-analyzer's flycheck actions from anywhere in the project, and support for xAI's grok-code-fast-1.

This week, we are launching Agent Client Protocol (ACP), an open standard for integrating external agents with editors, with support for Google's Gemini CLI as the first integration. Read more about it in the blog post!
This week's release also contains plenty of improvements to Zed itself. An improved Python virtual environment propagation to LSP for more reliable language features, configurable auto-indentation per language, file status indicators in multibuffer headers, an improved project panel empty state, and support for xAI's grok-code-fast-1.
