Previously, this was controllable via the undocumented
ZED_WINDOW_DECORATIONS environment variable (added in #13866). Using an
environment variable for this is inconvenient because it requires users
to set that environment variable somehow before starting Zed, such as in
the .desktop file or persistently in their shell. Controlling this via a
Zed setting is more convenient.
This does not modify the design of the titlebar in any way. It only
moves the existing option from an environment variable to a Zed setting.

Closes#5294
This PR adds a line ending indicator to the status bar, hidden by
default as discussed in
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/5294.
### Changes
- 8b063a22d8700bed9c93989b9e0f6a064b2e86cf add the indicator and
`status_bar.line_endings_button` setting.
- ~~9926237b709dd4e25ce58d558fd385d63b405f3b changes
`status_bar.line_endings_button` from a boolean to an enum:~~
<details> <summary> show details </summary>
- `always` Always show line endings indicator.
- `non_native` Indicate when line endings do not match the current
platform.
- `lf_only` Indicate when using unix-style (LF) line endings only.
- `crlf_only` Indicate when using windows-style (CRLF) line endings
only.
- `never` Do not show line endings indicator.
I know this many options might be overdoing it, but I was torn between
the pleasant default of `non_native` and the simplicity of `lf_only` /
`crlf_only`.
My thinking was if one is developing on a project which exclusively uses
one line-ending style or the other, it would be nice to be able to
configure no-indicator-in-the-happy-case behavior regardless of the
platform zed is running on. But I'm not really familiar with any
projects that use exclusively CRLF line endings in practice. Is this a
scenario worth supporting or just something I dreamed up?
</details>
- 01174191e4cf337069e7a31b0f0432ae94c52515 rename the action context for
`line ending: Toggle` -> `line ending selector: Toggle`.
When running the action in the command palette with the old name I felt
surprised to be greeted with an additional menu, with the new name it
feels more predictable (plus now it matches
`language_selector::Toggle`!)
### Future work
Hidden status bar items still get padding, creating inconsistent spacing
(and it kind of stands out where I placed the line-endings button):
<img alt="the gap after the indicator is larger than for other buttons"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/24a346d4-3ff6-4f7f-bd87-64d453c2441a"
/>
I started a new follow-up PR to address that:
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/39992
Release Notes:
- Added line ending indicator to the status bar (disabled by default;
enabled by setting `status_bar.line_endings_button` to `true`)
A small follow-up to the settings refactor of a few weeks ago to move
all the VSCode settings imports
to one place.
This should make it easier to spot missing imports, and easier to test
the importer.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Before this change the active theme and icon theme were retrofitted onto
the ThemeSettings.
Now they're in their own new global (GlobalTheme::theme(cx) and
GlobalTheme::icon_theme(cx))
This lets us remove cx from the settings traits, and tidy up a few other
things along the way.

This PR separates out the associated constant `KEY` from the `Settings`
trait into a new trait `SettingsKey`. This allows for the key trait to
be derived using attributes to specify the path so that the new
`SettingsUi` derive macro can use the same attributes to determine top
level settings paths thereby removing the need to duplicate the path in
both `Settings::KEY` and `#[settings_ui(path = "...")]`

Closes #ISSUE
Initially, the `SettingsUi` trait was tied to `Settings`, however, given
that the `Settings::FileContent` type (which may be the same as the type
that implements `Settings`) will be the type that more directly maps to
the JSON structure (and therefore have the documentation, correct field
names (or `serde` rename attributes), etc) it makes more sense to have
the deriving of `SettingsUi` occur on the `FileContent` type rather than
the `Settings` type.
In order for this to work a relatively important change had to be made
to the derive macro, that being that it now "unwraps" options into their
inner type, so a field with type `Option<Foo>` where `Foo: SettingsUi`
will treat the field as if it were just `Foo`, expecting there to be a
default set in `default.json`. This imposes some restrictions on what
`Settings::FileContent` can be as seen in 1e19398 where `FileContent`
itself can't be optional without manually implementing `SettingsUi`, as
well as introducing some risk that if the `FileContent` type has
`serde(default)`, the default value will override the default value from
`default.json` in the UI even though it may differ (but it should!).
A future PR should probably replace the other settings with `FileContent
= Option<T>` (all of which currently have `T == bool`) with wrapper
structs and have `KEY = None` so the further niceties
`derive(SettingsUi)` will provide such as path renaming, custom UI, auto
naming and doc comment extraction can be used.
Release Notes:
- N/A *or* Added/Fixed/Improved ...
## Goal
This PR creates the initial settings ui structure with the primary goal
of making a settings UI that is
- Comprehensive: All settings are available through the UI
- Correct: Easy to understand the underlying JSON file from the UI
- Intuitive
- Easy to implement per setting so that UI is not a hindrance to future
settings changes
### Structure
The overall structure is settings layer -> data layer -> ui layer.
The settings layer is the pre-existing settings definitions, that
implement the `Settings` trait. The data layer is constructed from
settings primarily through the `SettingsUi` trait, and it's associated
derive macro. The data layer tracks the grouping of the settings, the
json path of the settings, and a data representation of how to render
the controls for the setting in the UI, that is either a marker value
for the component to use (avoiding a dependency on the `ui` crate) or a
custom render function.
Abstracting the data layer from the ui layer allows crates depending on
`settings` to implement their own UI without having to add additional UI
dependencies, thus avoiding circular dependencies. In cases where custom
UI is desired, and a creating a custom render function in the same crate
is infeasible due to circular dependencies, the current solution is to
implement a marker for the component in the `settings` crate, and then
handle the rendering of that component in `settings_ui`.
### Foundation
This PR creates a macro and a trait both called `SettingsUi`. The
`SettingsUi` trait is added as a new trait bound on the `Settings`
trait, this allows the type system to guarantee that all settings
implement UI functionality. The macro is used to derived the trait for
most types, and can be modified through attributes for unique cases as
well.
A derive-macro is used to generate the settings UI trait impl, allowing
it the UI generation to be generated from the static information in our
code base (`default.json`, Struct/Enum names, field names, `serde`
attributes, etc). This allows the UI to be auto-generated for the most
part, and ensures consistency across the UI.
#### Immediate Follow ups
- Add a new `SettingsPath` trait that will be a trait bound on
`SettingsUi` and `Settings`
- This trait will replace the `Settings::key` value to enable
`SettingsUi` to infer the json path of it's derived type
- Figure out how to render `Option<T> where T: SettingsUi` correctly
- Handle `serde` attributes in the `SettingsUi` proc macro to correctly
get json path from a type's field and identity

Things this doesn't currently handle:
- [x] ~testing~
- ~we really need an snapshot test that takes a vscode settings file
with all options that we support, and verifies the zed settings file you
get from importing it, both from an empty starting file or one with lots
of conflicts. that way we can open said vscode settings file in vscode
to ensure that those options all still exist in the future.~
- Discussed this, we don't think this will meaningfully protect us from
future failures, and we will just do this as a manual validation step
before merging this PR. Any imports that have meaningfully complex
translation steps should still be tested.
- [x] confirmation (right now it just clobbers your settings file
silently)
- it'd be really cool if we could show a diff multibuffer of your
current settings with the result of the vscode import and let you pick
"hunks" to keep, but that's probably too much effort for this feature,
especially given that we expect most of the people using it to have an
empty/barebones zed config when they run the import.
- [x] ~UI in the "welcome" page~
- we're planning on redoing our welcome/walkthrough experience anyways,
but in the meantime it'd be nice to conditionally show a button there if
we see a user level vscode config
- we'll add it to the UI when we land the new walkthrough experience,
for now it'll be accessible through the action
- [ ] project-specific settings
- handling translation of `.vscode/settings.json` or `.code-workspace`
settings to `.zed/settings.json` will come in a future PR, along with UI
to prompt the user for those actions when opening a project with local
vscode settings for the first time
- [ ] extension settings
- we probably want to do a best-effort pass of popular extensions like
vim and git lens
- it's also possible to look for installed/enabled extensions with `code
--list-extensions`, but we'd have to maintain some sort of mapping of
those to our settings and/or extensions
- [ ] LSP settings
- these are tricky without access to the json schemas for various
language server extensions. we could probably manage to do translations
for a couple popular languages and avoid solving it in the general case.
- [ ] platform specific settings (`[macos].blah`)
- this is blocked on #16392 which I'm hoping to address soon
- [ ] language specific settings (`[rust].foo`)
- totally doable, just haven't gotten to it yet
~We may want to put this behind some kind of flag and/or not land it
until some of the above issues are addressed, given that we expect
people to only run this importer once there's an incentive to get it
right the first time. Maybe we land it alongside a keymap importer so
you don't have to go through separate imports for those?~
We are gonna land this as-is, all these unchecked items at the bottom
will be addressed in followup PRs, so maybe don't run the importer for
now if you have a large and complex VsCode settings file you'd like to
import.
Release Notes:
- Added a VSCode settings importer, available via a
`zed::ImportVsCodeSettings` action

Part of https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/12853
`"restore_on_file_reopen": true` in workspace settings can now be used
to enable and disable editor data between file reopens in the same pane:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8d938ee1-d854-42a8-bbc3-2a4e4d7d5933
The settings are generic and panes' data store can be extended for
further entities, beyond editors.
---------------
Impl details:
Currently, the project entry IDs seem to be stable across file reopens,
unlike BufferIds, so those were used.
Originally, the DB data was considered over in-memory one as editors
serialize their state anyway, but managing and exposing PaneIds out of
the DB is quite tedious and joining the DB data otherwise is not
possible.
Release Notes:
- Started to restore editor state on reopen
This pull request does two things:
1. Adds a setting to force Zed to use the built-in prompts, instead of
the system provided ones. I've personally found the system prompts on
macOS often fail to respond to keyboard input, are slow to render
initially, and don't match Zed's style.
2. Makes the previously Linux-only Zed provided prompts available to
everybody using the above setting.
Release Notes:
- Added support for a built-in prompting system, regardless of platform.
Use the new `use_system_prompts` setting to control whether to use the
system provided prompts or Zed's built-in system. Note that on Linux,
this setting has no effect, as Linux doesn't have a system prompting
mechanism.
Release Notes:
- Added an `on_last_window_closed` setting, that allows users to quit
the app when the last window is closed

enables hiding the pane tab bar buttons.
There's still a bit more work to do on this, but this PR is compiling
(with warnings) after eliminating the key types. When the tasks below
are complete, this will be the new narrative for GPUI:
- `Entity<T>` - This replaces `View<T>`/`Model<T>`. It represents a unit
of state, and if `T` implements `Render`, then `Entity<T>` implements
`Element`.
- `&mut App` This replaces `AppContext` and represents the app.
- `&mut Context<T>` This replaces `ModelContext` and derefs to `App`. It
is provided by the framework when updating an entity.
- `&mut Window` Broken out of `&mut WindowContext` which no longer
exists. Every method that once took `&mut WindowContext` now takes `&mut
Window, &mut App` and every method that took `&mut ViewContext<T>` now
takes `&mut Window, &mut Context<T>`
Not pictured here are the two other failed attempts. It's been quite a
month!
Tasks:
- [x] Remove `View`, `ViewContext`, `WindowContext` and thread through
`Window`
- [x] [@cole-miller @mikayla-maki] Redraw window when entities change
- [x] [@cole-miller @mikayla-maki] Get examples and Zed running
- [x] [@cole-miller @mikayla-maki] Fix Zed rendering

the wrong refresh() call being used
- [x] Fix the tests
- [x] Fix warnings by eliminating `Window` params or using `_`

Add a `max_tabs` option to the settings that ensure no more than this
amount of tabs are open in a pane. If set to `null`, there is no limit.

BREAKING: `active_pane_magnification` value is no longer used, it should

> note: don't know much rust, so I wouldn't be surprised if stuff can be
done much better, happy to update things after the review.
Also, wasn't sure about introducing the new object in the settings, but
it felt better than adding two more keys to the root, let me know what
you think and if there's a better way to do this. Also happy to get
feedback on the text itself, as I didn't spend much thinking how to
document this.
This adds an option to set the split direction for both the horizontal
splits, and the vertical splits.
A couple of things to look for when reviewing:
* The `derive` keywords on the Enums were copy pasted, no clue what they
should be
* Tried adding tests for this, but got stuck.

Follow up to: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/10986
However, I have set this to have a default behavior of 'auto': matching
the current platform's conventions, rather than a default value of
'off'.
fixes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/5322.
Release Notes:
- Changed the behavior of `workspace::CloseActiveItem`: when you're
using macOS and there are no open tabs, it now closes the window
([#5322](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/5322)). This can
be controlled with a new setting, `when_closing_with_no_tabs`, to
disable it on macOS, or enable it on other platforms.
This PR is another step to tabless editing (#6424, #4963). It adds
support for tab bar settings that allow the user to change its placement
or to hide completely.
Configuraton:
```json
"tab_bar": {
"show": true
}
```
Placemnet options are "top", "bottom" and "no".
This PR intentionally doesn't affect tab bars of other panes (Terminal
for instance) to keep code changes small. I guess we'll do the rest in
separate PRs.
Release Notes:
- Added support for configuring the editor tab bar (part of #6424,
#4963).

This introduces multiple improvements to the drop targets.
## Hitbox shape
Currently, hitboxes are rectangles, where the vertical ones reach all
the way to the ends, which reduces the space for the horizontal ones,
making the hitboxes a bit awkward in the corners. This new approach just
determines the closest side.
Visual representation:

## Hitbox size
The width of the hitbox was currently always 8 rem all around. In setups
with many columns or rows, or when the font size was very large, this
could potentially overlap the center hitbox, not allowing to drop a tab
without another split. Now the width of the hitboxes are a fraction of
the smaller size of its parents width and height. This makes sure the
hitboxes have the same width all around, but never fully block the
center hitbox.
I've also made this value configurable through the new
`drop_target_size` config which takes a `f32` fraction and is set to 0.2
by default.
Not sure if this is worth mentioning, but this technically allows to
remove the split hitboxes all together by setting it to `0.0`, or
removing the center hitbox by setting it to any value `>=0.5`. Not that
this is necessary, but it would be possible now.
## Larger visualization
The visual overlay when using one of the side hitboxes were also `8em`
wide. Since their logical size now changed, and it can't currently be
represented with GPUI (without abusing the `canvas` element), I made the
visual feedback take half of the width or height of the available space,
just like how other editors do this.
Also, the opacity/alpha value set by a theme is currently ignored. This
change now respects the themes opacity for it!
## Respect alpha value
Currently, the alpha value of `drop_target.background` is ignored. Even
the default themes set a value that is overwritten by a hard coded
value. I have removed this hard coded value and it now respects the
alpha value.
This change affects existing themes, see
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/10643#issuecomment-2059641528
## ~~No more lag while dragging over gutter~~ Extracted into #10737
~~It looks like the editor had a small optimization to drop events when
hovering the gutter. This also happens while dragging a tab over the
gutter, and causes some stuttering. Please correct me if this wasn't
just a small optimization, but I could not derive a different reason for
this code to exist.~~
Here is a video that tries to show all those changes with a before on
the left, and the after on the right:
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/assets/1282767/f97f3420-513f-410f-a1c8-7966429ad348
Release Notes:
- Added `drop_target_size` setting. This should be a fractional percent
(e.g., `0.5`).
- Improved the hitboxes for drop targets.
- Updated drop targets to respect the alpha channel of the
`drop_target.background` color.
This PR implements the Centered Layout feature (#4685):
- Added the `toggle centered layout` action.
- The centered layout mode only takes effect when there's a single
central pane.
- The state of the centered layout toggle is saved / restored between
Zed restarts.
- The paddings are controlled by the `centered_layout` setting:
```json
"centered_layout": {
"left_padding": 0.2,
"right_padding": 0.2
}
```
This allows us to support both the VSCode-style (equal paddings) and
IntelliJ-style (only left padding in Zen mode).
Release Notes:
- Added support for Centered Layout
([#4685](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/9754)).

The new setting accepts "last_workspace" (default) and "none" as
options.
In a follow-up PR I'll add a new option that re-launches all of the Zed
windows and not just the last one.
Release Notes:
- Added `restore_on_startup` option, accepting `last_workspace`
(default) and `none` options. With `none`, new Zed instances will not
restore workspaces that were open last.
This PR adds the ability for extensions to provide certain language
settings via the language `config.toml`.
These settings are then merged in with the rest of the settings when the
language is loaded from the extension.
The language settings that are available are:
- `tab_size`
- `hard_tabs`
- `soft_wrap`
Additionally, for bundled languages we moved these settings out of the
`settings/default.json` and into their respective `config.toml`s .
For languages currently provided by extensions, we are leaving the
values in the `settings/default.json` temporarily until all released
versions of Zed are able to load these settings from the extension.
---
Along the way we ended up refactoring the `Settings::load` method
slightly, introducing a new `SettingsSources` struct to better convey
where the settings are being loaded from.
This makes it easier to load settings from specific locations/sets of
locations in an explicit way.
