Zed editor v0.197.3 has been released, featuring Magistral support for Ollama, a screen selector dropdown for screen sharing, an option to disable AI features, automatic retries on failed requests in the Agent panel, specifications for accessing debugger data breakpoints, enhancements to the keymap editor, and a new action to compare the current selection with the clipboard contents. The update incorporates support for various OpenAI API-compatible providers, enhancements to Bedrock streaming, and an option to disable all AI features.

The agent panel now automatically retries failed requests under additional circumstances, and the edit tool can access files outside the current project only with user permission. The Git panel has undergone enhancements, and the experience with git --amend has also been refined. Recent updates address several issues, including resolving a crash that occurs when transitioning from a message to a thread within the context, correcting keybindings for new threads and text threads, and enhancing the resizing experience on Wayland/Linux.

Zed v0.197.3

This week's release includes Magistral support for Ollama, a screen selector dropdown for picking which screen to share when collaborating through Zed, an option to disable all AI features in Zed, automatic retries on more failed requests in the Agent panel, debugger data breakpoint access type specification, improvements to the keymap editor, and a new action to diff the current selection against the clipboard contents.

Features

• Added screen selector dropdown to screen share button. ( #31506)
• Added 25+ keybinds to the macOS and Linux/Windows JetBrains compatibility keymaps. ( #34641)

• Added none as one of the values for snippet_sort_order to completely disable snippet completion. ( #34565; thanks  zeux)
• Keymap Editor: Made keystroke search matches match based on ordered (not necessarily contiguous) runs. For example, searching for cmd shift-j will match cmd-k cmd-shift-j alt-q and cmd-i g shift-j but not alt-k shift-j or cmd-k alt-j.

Bug Fixes

• Agent: Fixed a crash that occurred when jumping from a message to a thread included in the context. ( #34843)

• Debugger: Fixed attaching with DebugPy. DebugPy is now installed automatically from pip (instead of GitHub), unless it is present in active virtual environment. Additionally this should resolve any startup issues with missing .so on Linux. ( #34706)
• Vim: Fixed an issue so ctrl-w / ctrl-h and ctrl-u work in pickers on Linux when Vim mode is enabled. ( #34840)

• Fixed textmate keymap misbehaving in certain contexts. ( #34895)
• Fixed an issue where scrollbars would appear in containers where no scrolling was possible. ( #34832)
• Fixed workspace: open in terminal action not working with paths that contain spaces in SSH projects. ( #34844)
• Fixed an issue where accepting variable completion in PHP would result in a double $ sign in the prefix. ( #34726)
• Fixed an issue where the cursor doesn't move up and down on arrow keys when no completions are shown. ( #34678)
• Fixed the issue where the green (+) cursor style sometimes appears when navigating to the definition in buffer. ( #34638)
• Fixed regressions with loading environment variables in nushell ( #35002,  #35054)
• Fixed project panel not opening when project panel: rename and project panel: duplicate actions are triggered from workspace. ( #34988)

Breaking Changes and Notices

• The context predicates in the keymap file now handle ! and > differently. Before this change ! meant "this node does not match", now it means "none of these nodes match". Before this change > meant "child of", now it means "descendent of". We do not expect these changes to break many keymaps, but they may cause subtle changes for complex context queries. ( #34664)
• Renamed CloseInactiveItems action to CloseOtherItems for naming consistency. ( #34676)
