Closes#44148
the existing rate == 0 check inside the timer callback already handles
disabling repeat - it just drops the timer immediately. So the fix
prevents the crash while preserving correct behavior.
Release Notes:
- Linux (Wayland): Fixed a crash that could occur when
`characters_per_second` was zero

In the Linux dispatcher, we create one background thread per CPU, but
when a single core is available, having a single background thread
significantly hinders the perceived performance of Zed. This is
particularly helpful when SSH remoting to low-resource servers.
We may want to bump this to more than two threads actually, but I wanted
to be conservative, and this seems to make a big difference already.

`WorkItemPriority::High` will enqueue the work items to threads with
higher-than-normal priority. If the work items are very intensive, this
can cause the system to become unresponsive. It's not clear what this
gets us, so let's avoid the responsiveness issue by deleting this.

Windows applications tend to be fairly re-entrant which does not work
well with our current top-level `RefCell` approach. We have worked
around a bunch of panics in the past due to this, but ultimately this
will re-occur (and still does according to sentry) in the future. So
this PR moves all interior mutability down to the fields.

CLOSES #39042
This is a reopening of #34985+.
_Original descrioption_:
In Wayland, the client implement key repeat themself. In Zed this is
ultimately handled by the gpui crate by inserting a timer source into
the event loop which repeat itself if the key is still held down [1].
But it seems the processing of the repeated key event happen
synchronously inside the timer source handler, meaning the effective
rate become slightly lower (since the repeated timer is scheduled using
the 1/rate as delay).
I measured the event processing time on my laptop and it's typically
around 3ms, but sometimes spiking at 10ms. At low key repeat rates this
is probably not _very_ noticeable. I see the default in Zed is set to a
(measly) 16/s, but I assume most systems will use something closer to
25, which is a 40ms delay. So ~3ms is around 7.5% of the delay. At
higher rate the discrepancy become worse of course.
I can visible notice the spikes, and doing some crude stopwatch
measurements using gedit as a reference I can reproduce around 5-10%
slower rates in Zed.
IMO this is significant enough to warrant improving, especially since
some people can get quite used the repeat rate and might feel something
being "off" in Zed.
~~The suggested fix simply subtract the processing time from the next
delay timer.~~

Release Notes:
- Improved Wayland (Linux) key repeat rate precision
It is optional for Wayland servers to support server-side decorations.
In particular, GNOME chooses to not implement SSD
(https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/217). So, even if the
application requests SSD, it must draw client-side decorations unless
the application receives a response from the server confirming the
request for SSD.
Before, when the user requested SSD for Zed, but the Wayland server did
not support it, there were no server-side decorations (window titlebar)
drawn, but Zed did not draw the window minimize, maximize, and close
buttons either. This fixes Zed so it always draws the window control
buttons if the Wayland server does not support SSD.
Before on GNOME Wayland with SSD requested:

- Fixed window control buttons not showing in GNOME Wayland when SSD
requested

Turns out this broke copying a screenshot from apps like CleanShot X and
then pasting it over. We should land this again after taking a look at
those cases. Pasting screenshots from the native macOS screenshot
functionality works though.
cc @seantimm
Release Notes:
- Fixed issue where copying a screenshot from apps like CleanShot X into
Agent Panel didn't work as expected.
Problem: Some macOS environments report no devices via
MTLCopyAllDevices, causing startup failure with “unable to access a
compatible graphics device,” especially on Apple Silicon.
Change: Prefer MTLCreateSystemDefaultDevice
(metal::Device::system_default()) first. If None, enumerate devices and
select a non‑removable, low‑power device by preference.
Why this works: On Apple Silicon the system default is the unified GPU;
on Intel, the fallback keeps a stable policy and avoids accidentally
picking removable/high‑power devices.
Impact: Fixes startup on affected ASi systems; improves selection
consistency on Intel multi‑GPU. Behavior unchanged where
system_default() succeeds.
Risk: Low. Aligns with Apple’s recommended selection path. Still fails
early with a clearer message if no Metal devices exist.
Closes#37689.
Release Notes:
- Fixed: Startup failure on some Apple Silicon machines when Metal
device enumeration returned no devices by falling back to the system
default device.

The WM_DPICHANGED suggested RECT is calculated for non-maximized
windows. When a maximized window's DPI changes, we now query the
monitor's work area directly to ensure the window correctly fills the
entire screen.
For non-maximized windows, the original behavior using the
system-suggested RECT is preserved.
Release Notes:
- windows: Fixed maximized window size when DPI scale changes

This PR updates window background rendering to use the **official DWM
backdrop API** (`DwmSetWindowAttribute`) instead of the legacy
`SetWindowCompositionAttribute`.
It also adds **Mica** and **Mica Alt** options to
`WindowBackgroundAppearance` for native Windows 11 effects.
### Motivation
Enables modern, stable, and GPU-accelerated backdrops consistent with
Windows 11’s Fluent Design.
Removes reliance on undocumented APIs while maintaining backward
compatibility with older Windows versions.
### Changes
* Added `MicaBackdrop` and `MicaAltBackdrop` variants.
* Switched to DWM API for applying backdrop effects.
* Verified fallback behavior on Windows 10.
### Release Notes:
- Added `WindowBackgroundAppearance::MicaBackdrop` and
`WindowBackgroundAppearance::MicaAltBackdrop` for Windows 11 Mica and
Mica Alt window backdrops.
### Screenshots
- `WindowBackgroundAppearance::Blurred`

Closes#4947
Taken inspiration from @tasuren implementation, plus the addition for
the double click enabled on the whole title bar too to
maximizes/restores the window.
I was not able to test the application on Linux, no need to test on
Windows since the feature is enabled by the OS.
Release Notes:
- Fixed title bar not fully draggable on macOS
- Fixed not being able to maximizes/restores the window with double
click on the whole title bar on macOS
Summary
Fixes UI scaling issue that occurs when starting Zed after disconnecting
an external monitor on macOS. The window's scale factor and drawable
size are now properly updated when the window changes screens.
Problem Description
When an external monitor is disconnected and Zed is started with only
the built-in screen active, the UI scale becomes incorrect. This happens
because:
1. macOS triggers the `window_did_change_screen` callback when a window
moves between displays (including when displays are disconnected)
2. The existing implementation only restarted the display link but
didn't update the window's scale factor or drawable size
3. This left the window with stale scaling information from the previous
display configuration
Root Cause
The `window_did_change_screen` callback in
`crates/gpui/src/platform/mac/window.rs` was missing the logic to update
the window's scale factor and drawable size when moving between screens.
This logic was only present in the `view_did_change_backing_properties
callback`, which isn't triggered when external monitors are
disconnected.
Solution
- Extracted common logic: Created a new `update_window_scale_factor()`
function that encapsulates the scale factor and drawable size update
logic
- Added scale factor update to screen change: Modified
`window_did_change_screen` to call this function after restarting the
display link
- Refactored existing code: Updated `view_did_change_backing_properties`
to use the new shared function, reducing code duplication
The fix ensures that whenever a window changes screens (due to monitor
disconnect, reconnect, or manual movement), the scale factor, drawable
size, and renderer state are properly synchronized.
Testing
- ✅ Verified that UI scaling remains correct after disconnecting
external monitor
- ✅ Confirmed that reconnecting external monitor works properly
- ✅ Tested that manual window movement between displays updates scaling
correctly
- ✅ No regressions observed in normal window operations
To verity my fix worked I had to copy my preview workspace over my dev
workspace, once I had done this I could reproduce the issue on main
consistently. After switching to the branch with this fix the issue was
resolved.
The fix is similar to what was done on
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/35686 (Windows)
Closes#37245#38229
Release Notes:
- Fixed: Update scale factor and drawable size when macOS window changes
screen

We've had several outages with a proximate cause of "vercel is
complicated",
and auto-update is considered a critical feature; so lets not use vercel
for
that.
Release Notes:
- Auto Updates (and remote server binaries) are now downloaded via
https://cloud.zed.dev instead of https://zed.dev. As before, these URLs
redirect to the GitHub release for actual downloads.
- Enable Alt+Numpad input
- For this to be effective, the default keybindings for Alt+{Number}
will need to be unbound. This won't be needed once we gain the ability
to differentiate numpad digit keys from alphanumeric digit keys.
- Fixes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/40699
- Fix a number of edge cases with dead keys
Release Notes:
- N/A
Technically these should not be possible to hit, but sentry says
otherwise. Turning these into errors should give us more information
than the abort due to unwinding across ffi boundaries.
Fixes ZED-321
