Zed 0.220.2 released
A new update, Zed editor 0.220.2, has been released, bringing with it a multitude of improvements and bug fixes.
One significant change touches the Git management tools. The unified picker now handles branches, worktrees, and stashes together in one place, aiming to simplify navigation between these elements.
Zed has also added structured outline support for Markdown files. This helps keep things organized and makes long documents more readable by providing clearer structure within your code view.
Another usability boost involves terminals: users can launch local shells directly inside remote project contexts through specific terminal commands that specify the connection locally.
Over on the Agent panel, several refinements have been made to enhance interactions. These include showing turn statistics and keeping track of timers and token usage, which helps understand what's happening during processing. There's also improved tracking for line changes and better handling when editing tools need partial recovery or cancellation via a stop action; this last part makes interrupting the AI work smoother.
For users employing Copilot, there are helpful additions too. You can now directly navigate to unresolved diagnostic points flagged by edit predictions straight from the editor. Inline completions have also received responsiveness tweaks for faster interactions with AI suggestions.
On the reliability side, several bugs have been squashed. For instance, an annoying issue on Wayland where duplicated input appeared when connecting via Sunshine remotes is fixed. External agents weren't properly working in Docker remote setups before, and that problem has now been resolved as well.
Beyond specific fixes, a few other problems were addressed: incorrect diff displays for older commits have been corrected, and subword motions no longer incorrectly jump to the next line near typing completion.
Performance-wise, there are subtle but welcome upgrades. Searching within projects, especially remote ones, is faster now. Tab management got a visual tweak too; pinned tabs and unpinned tabs display separately in their rows by default (unless you prefer otherwise). A new setting allows pinning these separate tab rows if desired.
Essentially, this update focuses on making the editor better for regular users. It polishes existing tools with smoother interactions and clearer displays, while also clearing up some stability hiccups.
