Zed editor version 0.193.3 has been released, featuring enhancements including a new Helix mode, an improved user experience for configuring MCP servers in the agent panel, and support for completion triggers and variable watch in the debugger, among other updates. The release features enhancements to the editor. Convert Indentation to Spaces and editor::Convert indentation to tab actions, minimap width calculation, and optional cloning: The Boolean options for workspace::MoveItemToPane and workspace::MoveItemToPaneInDirection allow horizontal outputs to be scrollable in the REPL, which facilitates collaboration and enables preventative diagnostics.

Vercel receives AI support as a language model provider, offers options for deleting and configuring MCP servers from the panel's settings view, and allows users to examine the origin of an MCP server. Agents now retain unsent content in the chat box and enable the force uninstallation of extensions if they exceed the capabilities of the MCP server.

Enhancements have been made to the debugging support, including completion triggers in the debug console, improved positioning of variable watchers and step in/out icons, and the generation of inline values based on a language's debugger.scm file. Additionally, the system now ensures proper shutdown and cleanup of debug processes when Zed is force quit, and it supports the passing of custom arguments to a debug adapter binary through the dap.args setting.

The Cairo programming language has seen the addition of new languages, alongside an updated debugger that now includes support for completion triggers, variable watchers, step in/out icon positions, and the capability to generate inline values based on the debugger of a language.

Recent updates address various issues, including the resolution of DeepSeek R1 errors, enhancements to the project diagnostic tool for Bedrock, improvements to Bedrock tool calls in edit mode, adjustments to the token limit callout, elimination of double scroll occurrences, updates to request usage display, text wrapping in the provider setup list items, layout shifts during the "waiting for confirmation" state, reduction of unnecessary requests to OpenRouter, correction of the escape key functionality not switching to normal mode when the default mode is set to insert, and fixes for keyboard navigation challenges.
