Zed editor 0.230.0 brings Wayland screen sharing and better search tools
The Zed editor 0.230.0 update focuses on making collaboration smoother while fixing long-standing Linux display issues. Users upgrading will find immediate improvements in how files interact with the AI agent panel and how git status appears during development. This release aims to stabilize daily workflows rather than just adding flashy new features.
Linux screen sharing on Wayland
Screen sharing was a major gap for Linux users trying to collaborate remotely without switching backends. Now the Agent Panel supports file pasting and Wayland screen sharing is finally live. This fixes the awkward workaround where people had to use X11 just to share their view with colleagues. There are also fixes for garbled characters in window titles on X11 which makes reading settings much easier than before. It feels like the team realized that Linux users were tired of text rendering as garbage symbols during configuration changes.
Improvements for search and git visibility
Multi-line search and replace is finally available in the project search panel for power users. This saves time when refactoring code that spans multiple lines without manual selection or clumsy copy-pasting. Git status indicators now show up directly in the project panel so developers do not have to open a separate window to see what changed. The terminal permissions UI also allows selecting subcommands independently for more precise control over execution rights.
Updated AI and removes legacy providers
Pasting files into the Agent Panel is now supported which helps context awareness for tasks without manual attachment steps. OAuth authentication support for remote MCP servers means better security when connecting to external tools that require login credentials. Some users will notice that Sweep AI edit prediction provider has been removed because the service shut down permanently. The experimental rodio audio backend was also dropped to streamline the codebase and reduce potential crash vectors.
