Zed Industries has announced a new version of the Zed editor, which includes settings for different operating systems, faster Edit Prediction, new modes for Copilot and Supermaven, support for Mistral, the ability to clone Git repositories, file comparison in the project panel, and options to change the reasoning effort for OpenAI models. The release features new top-level fields for operating systems, an editor, an "unwrap syntax node" action, theme-specific overrides, and new keymap contexts for various pickers. The editor includes a notification in the keybind editing modal when there are existing bindings with identical keystrokes. The release features enhancements in diagnostics performance within collaborative mode, improved usability of the close tab and pin tab buttons, and the capability to compare a file with another using the project panel's compare marked files menu.

Zed v0.200.4

This week's release includes operating system-specific settings, improved Edit Prediction latency, subtle and eager modes for Copilot and Supermaven, thinking support for Mistral, the ability to clone Git repositories, file comparison through the project panel, and support for adjusting the reasoning effort for OpenAI models.

Features

• Settings can now be configured per operating system with the new top-level fields: "macos"/"windows"/"linux". These will override user-level settings, but are lower precedence than release channel settings. ( #35756)
• Added an editor: unwrap syntax node action. ( #31421; thanks  Gregoor)
• Added the ability to set theme-specific overrides via the theme_overrides setting. ( #30860; thanks  hron)
• Added setting status_bar.show_active_language_button to show/hide the language button in the status bar. ( #33977; thanks  zumbalogy)
• Added project_panel.starts_open to control opening the project panel in new projects. ( #34752; thanks  maan2003)
• Added new keymap contexts for various pickers: CommandPalette, GitBranchSelector, GitRepositorySelector, RecentProjects, LanguageSelector, IconThemeSelector, ThemeSelector. ( #35665)
• Added icon for Puppet (.pp) files. ( #35778; thanks  Tonguechaude)
• Improved diagnostics performance in collaborative mode. ( #35794)
• Improved usability of close tab and pin tab buttons by making them slightly larger. ( #34428; thanks  djsauble)
• Keymap Editor: Added a warning to the keybind editing modal when existing bindings have the same keystrokes. Clicking the warning will close the modal and show bindings with the entered keystrokes in the keymap editor. This behavior was previously possible with the keymap_editor::ShowMatchingKeybinds action in the Keymap Editor, and is now present in the keybind editing modal as well. ( #35732)
