Zed editor v0.190.4 has been released, featuring support for Vim mode in the agent panel, automatic configuration of Python virtual environments, improved project panel dragging, a Cursor keymap, additional Vim commands, and various bug fixes from Quality Week. The update encompasses enhancements including the highlighting of entries being dragged in the Project Panel, a copy-drag cursor, the ability to create new files within the project search panel, a close_on_file_delete setting, subword navigation and selection for the Sublime keymap, and a macOS title bar double-click action.

Refer to the release notes for the Help menu, cursor compatibility keymap, ZED_RELATIVE_DIR task variable, and version information displayed in a tooltip. Initial support for SSH remotes operating on FreeBSD x86_64, maintaining leading whitespace rather than employing language-specific auto-indentation, enhancing project panel highlighting, inheriting environment variables from user shells, prompting for file path selection, displaying project search matches or diagnostics when excerpts are adjacent, ensuring keyboard navigability of file finder filtering options, preserving selections when choosing themes and icon themes, guaranteeing that cut project panel entries are cut-pasted only on the first use, opening one additional item if a certain number of tabs are pinned, disabling the Close Clean tab context menu action when all items are in a "dirty" state, and modifying the highlighting of the current file to reflect its saved state. Furthermore, the release encompasses enhancements in AI, Ollama, AWS Bedrock, Edit Prediction, TypeScript shebang detection, Ruby, LaTeX, and Vim, along with various bug fixes.
