Release Notes:
- settings: Major internal changes to settings. The primary user-facing
effect is that some settings which did not make sense in project
settings files are no-longer read from there. (For example the inline
blame settings)

Using `window.use_state` made the element IDs match between elements,
thus causing the same menu to be shared for drop down menus. I switched
to `window.use_keyed_state` and used a value's path as it's element id
Release Notes:
- N/A
Enums with six or less fields can still use toggle groups by adding a
definition.
I also renamed the `OpenSettingsEditor` action to `OpenSettingsUi`
Release Notes:
- N/A
Closes #ISSUE
Adds handling for Enums with fields (i.e. not `enum Foo { Yes, No }`) in
Settings UI. Accomplished by creating default values for each element
with fields (in the derive macro), and rendering a toggle button group
with a button for each variant where switching the active variant sets
the value in the settings JSON to the default for the new active
variant.

This is an initial implementation that isn't used for any settings yet,
but will be used once `Vec<String>` is implemented.
I also updated the window.with_state api to grant access to a
`Context<S>` app reference instead of just an App.

Release Notes:

In an effort to improve the experience while developing extensions and
improving themes, this PR updates the syntax tree views behavior
slightly.
Before, the view would always update to the current active editor whilst
being used. This was quite painful for improving extension scheme files,
as you would always have to change back and forth between editors to
have a view at the relevant syntax tree.
With this PR, the syntax tree view will now stay attached to the editor
it was opened in, similar to preview views. Once the view is shown, the
`UseActiveEditor` will become available in the command palette and
enable the user to update the view to the last focused editor. On file
close, the view will also be updated accordingly.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/922075e5-9da0-4c1d-9e1a-51e024bf41ea
A button is also shown whenever switching is possible.
Futhermore, improved the empty state of the view.
Lastly, a drive-by cleanup of the `show_action_types` method so there is
no need to call `iter()` when calling the method.
Release Notes:
- The syntax tree view will now stay attached to the buffer it was
opened in, similar to the Markdown preview. Use the `UseActiveEditor`
action when the view is shown to change it to the last focused editor.
This PR improves the settings_ui proc macro by taking into account more
serde attributes
1. rename_all
2. rename
3. flatten
We also pass field documentation to the UI layer now too. This allows ui
elements to have more information like the switch field description.
We got the scrollbar working and started getting language settings to
show up.

Closes #ISSUE
Adds a test that checks that all settings have default values in
`default.json`. Currently only tests that settings supported by
SettingsUi have defaults, as more settings are added to the settings
editor they will be added to the test as well.
Release Notes:
- N/A *or* Added/Fixed/Improved ...
Closes #ISSUE
Improves the derive macro for `SettingsUi` so that titles generated from
struct and field names are shown in title case, and toggle button groups
use title case for rendering, while using lower case/snake case in JSON
Release Notes:
- N/A *or* Added/Fixed/Improved ...
Closes #ISSUE
This PR includes the necessary work to get `EditorSettings` showing up
in the settings UI. Including making the `path` field on
`SettingsUiItem`'s optional so that top level items such as
`EditorSettings` which have `Settings::KEY = None` (i.e. are treated
like `serde(flatten)`) have their paths computed correctly for JSON
reading/updating.
It includes the first examples of a pattern I expect to continue with
the `SettingsUi` work with respect to settings reorganization, that
being adding missing defaults, and adding explicit values (or aliases)
to settings which previously relied on `null` being a value for optional
fields.
Release Notes:
- N/A *or* Added/Fixed/Improved ...
Closes #ISSUE
Adds a first draft of a way for "Dynamic" settings items to be added,
where Dynamic means settings where multiple sets of options are possible
(i.e. discriminated union, rust enum, etc). The implementation is very
similar to that of `Group`, except that instead of rendering all of it's
descendants, it contains a function to determine _which_ descendant to
render, whether that be a single item or a nested group of items.
Currently this is done in a type-unsafe way with indices, a future
improvement could be to make the API more type safe, and easier to
manually implement correctly.
An example of a "Dynamic" setting is `theme`, where it can either be a
string of the desired theme name, or an object with `mode: "light" |
"dark" | "system"` as well as theme names for `light` and `dark`. In the
system implemented by this PR, this would become a dynamic settings UI
item, where option `0` is a single item, the theme name selector, and
option `1` is a group, containing items for the `mode`, and
`light`/`dark` options.

## 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

Closes #ISSUE
Adds a new `documentation` method to actions, that is extracted from doc
comments when using the `actions!` or derive macros.
Additionally, this PR adds doc comments to as many action definitions in
Zed as possible.
Release Notes:

Adds the initial semblance of a keymap UI. It is currently gated behind the `settings-ui` feature flag. Follow up PRs will add polish and missing features.

Instead of a menagerie of macros for implementing `Action`, now there
are just two:
* `actions!(editor, [MoveLeft, MoveRight])`
* `#[derive(..., Action)]` with `#[action(namespace = editor)]`
In both contexts, `///` doc comments can be provided and will be used in
`JsonSchema`.
In both contexts, parameters can provided in `#[action(...)]`:
- `namespace = some_namespace` sets the namespace. In Zed this is
required.
- `name = "ActionName"` overrides the action's name. This must not
contain "::".
- `no_json` causes the `build` method to always error and
`action_json_schema` to return `None`
and allows actions not implement `serde::Serialize` and
`schemars::JsonSchema`.
- `no_register` skips registering the action. This is useful for
implementing the `Action` trait
while not supporting invocation by name or JSON deserialization.
- `deprecated_aliases = ["editor::SomeAction"]` specifies deprecated old
names for the action.
These action names should *not* correspond to any actions that are
registered. These old names
can then still be used to refer to invoke this action. In Zed, the
keymap JSON schema will
accept these old names and provide warnings.
- `deprecated = "Message about why this action is deprecation"`
specifies a deprecation message.
In Zed, the keymap JSON schema will cause this to be displayed as a
warning. This is a new feature.
Also makes the following changes since this seems like a good time to
make breaking changes:
* In `zed.rs` tests adds a test with an explicit list of namespaces. The
rationale for this is that there is otherwise no checking of `namespace
= ...` attributes.
* `Action::debug_name` renamed to `name_for_type`, since its only
difference with `name` was that it
* `Action::name` now returns `&'static str` instead of `&str` to match
the return of `name_for_type`. This makes the action trait more limited,
but the code was already assuming that `name_for_type` is the same as
`name`, and it requires `&'static`. So really this just makes the trait
harder to misuse.
* Various action reflection methods now use `&'static str` instead of
`SharedString`.
Release Notes:
- N/A
* Fixes a bug where for Cursor, `config_dir()` (Zed's config dir) was
being used instead of `dirs::config_dir` (`~/.config` /
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`).
* Adds support for windows, before it was using the user profile folder
+ `/.config` which is incorrect.
* Now looks using a variety of product names - `["Code", "Code - OSS",
"Code Dev", "Code - OSS Dev", "code-oss-dev", "VSCodium"]`.
* Now shows settings path that was read before confirming import.
Including this path in the confirmation modal is a bit ugly (making it
link-styled and clickable would be nice), but I think it's better to
include it now that it is selecting the first match of a list of
candidate paths:

Release Notes:
- Added more settings file locations to check for VS Code / Cursor
settings import.
Closes #ISSUE
Release Notes:
- Added support for importing settings from cursor. Cursor settings can
be imported using the `zed: import cursor settings` command from the
command palette
resolves#24655resolves#23945
I haven't yet added a default binding for the new command. #27797 added `:ls` and
`:buffers` which in my opinion should use the global searchable version
given that that matches the vim semantics of those commands better than
just showing the tabs in the local pane.
There's also a question of what to do when you select a tab from another
pane, should the focus jump to that pane or should that tab move to the
currently focused pane? For now I've implemented the former.
Release Notes:
- Added `tab_switcher::ToggleAll` to search open tabs from all panes and focus the selected one.

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

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
- [x] [@mikayla-maki] Fix todo! macros and comments
- [x] Fix a bug where the editor would not be redrawn because of view
caching
- [x] remove publicness window.notify() and replace with
`AppContext::notify`
- [x] remove `observe_new_window_models`, replace with
`observe_new_models` with an optional window
- [x] Fix a bug where the project panel would not be redrawn because of
the wrong refresh() call being used
- [x] Fix the tests
- [x] Fix warnings by eliminating `Window` params or using `_`
- [x] Fix conflicts
- [x] Simplify generic code where possible
- [x] Rename types
- [ ] Update docs
### issues post merge
- [x] Issues switching between normal and insert mode
- [x] Assistant re-rendering failure
- [x] Vim test failures
- [x] Mac build issue

This PR changes the `SettingsContainer` component such that the
elevation styles are applied by the parent instead of
`SettingsContainer` itself.
This means that components using `SettingsContainer` can be embedded in
different contexts, like the settings UI or a popover containing the
settings.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR adds settings controls for the UI and buffer font weight
settings.
It also does some work around grouping the settings into related
sections.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR adds a placeholder view for the settings UI. It does not contain
any functionality, as of yet.
This view is staff-shipped behind a feature flag.
