This reintroduces `layer_shell` support after #32651 was reverted. On
top of that, it allows setting options for the created surface,
restricts the enum variant to the `wayland` feature, and adds an example
that renders a clock widget using the protocol.
I've renamed the `WindowKind` variant to `LayerShell` from `Overlay`,
since the protocol can also be used to render wallpapers and such, which
doesn't really fit with the word.
Things I'm still unsure of:
- We need to get the layer options types to the user somehow, but
nothing from the `platform::linux` crate was exported, I'm assuming
intentionally. I've kept the types inside the module (instead of doing
`pub use layer_shell::*` to not pollute the global namespace with
generic words like `Anchor` or `Layer` Let me know if you want to do
this differently.
- I've added the options to the `WindowKind` variant. That's the only
clean way I see to supply them when the window is created. This makes
the kind no longer implement `Copy`.
- The options don't have setter methods yet and can only be defined on
window creation. We'd have to make fallible functions for setting them,
which only work if the underlying surface is a `layer_shell` surface.
That feels un-rust-y.

Thanks to @wuliuqii, whose layer-shell implementation I've also looked
at while putting this together.
Release Notes:
- Add support for the `layer_shell` protocol on wayland

This caused issues with #40172, as it made Zed execute and block on tad
few more background tasks. Parker is ~cheap to create, hence we should
be ok to just create it at the time it is needed.

This allows new windows like the Rules library or the Settings UI window
to appear floating on window managers like hyprland:

Left is with `WindowKind::Floating` and right is with
`WindowKind::Normal`
Release Notes:
- Added support for floating windows on x11 and wayland
Closes#5355
Release Notes:
- Fixed rendering glitches with files with more than 16 million lines
(that occured due to floating number rounding errors).

std commands can block for an arbitrary duration and so runs risk of
blocking tasks for too long. This replaces all such uses where sensible
with async processes.

This reverts commit ed7bd5a8ed.
We noticed this PR causes the editor to hang if you hold down any of the
menu item actions like ctrl+z, ctrl+x, etc
Release Notes:
- Fixed macOS menu item actions hanging the editor when their key
combination is held down
On macOS, traditionally when a keyboard shortcut is activated, the menu
in the menu bar flashes to indicate that the action was recognised.

This PR adds this functionality to GPUI, where when a keybind is pressed
that triggers an action in the menu, the menu flashes.

This has noticeable misbehavior when framerates are low (in my case this
sometimes happens when CPUs are throttled and compilation is happening),
as now a batch of x11 events can contain events over the span of 100s of
millis. So in that case, key press repetitions with quite normal typing
are skipped.
Under normal operating conditions it can be reproduced by running this
and quickly switching to Zed:
> sleep 1; for i in {1..5}; do xdotool type --delay 5 "aaaaaa "; xdotool
key Return; done
Output before looks like:
```
aaa
aaaaa
aaa
aaa
aaaa
```
Output after looks like:
```
aaaaaa
aaaaaa
aaaaaa
aaaaaa
aaaaaa
```
This behavior was added in #13955.

Removes IME bounds scaling on Wayland since it uses logical pixels,
unlike X11. We now scale only on X11. Windows and macOS don’t use these
bounds for IME anyway.
Release Notes:
- Fixed an issue where the IME popover could appear outside the window
or fail to show on Wayland.
Closes#36300
This PR follows Windows conventions by introducing
`KeybindingKeystroke`, so shortcuts now show up as `ctrl-shift-4`
instead of `ctrl-$`.
It also fixes issues with keyboard layouts: when `use_key_equivalents`
is set to true, keys are remapped based on their virtual key codes. For
example, `ctrl-\` on a standard English layout will be mapped to
`ctrl-ё` on a Russian layout.

This removes around 900 unnecessary clones, ranging from cloning a few
ints all the way to large data structures and images.
A lot of these were fixed using `cargo clippy --fix --workspace
--all-targets`, however it often breaks other lints and needs to be run
again. This was then followed up with some manual fixing.
I understand this is a large diff, but all the changes are pretty
trivial. Rust is doing some heavy lifting here for us. Once I get it up
to speed with main, I'd appreciate this getting merged rather sooner
than later.

Closes#24672
This PR complements a feature added earlier by @JosephTLyons (in
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/32353) where the text is
considered as the tab title in a new buffer. It piggybacks off that
change and sets the title as the suggested filename in the save dialog
(completely mirroring the same functionality in VSCode):

Release Notes:
- Text entered in a new untitled buffer is considered as the default
filename when saving
Closes#29083
On X11, `ibus-x11` crashes on some distros after Zed interacts with it.
This is not unique to Zed, `xim-rs` shows the same behavior, and there
are similar upstream `ibus` reports with apps like Blender:
- https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2697
I opened an upstream issue to track this:
- https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2789
When this crash happens, we don’t get a disconnect event, so Zed keeps
sending events to the IM server and waits for a response. It works on
subsequent starts because IM server doesn't exist now and we default to
non-XIM path.
This PR detects the crash via X11 events and falls back to the non-XIM
path so typing keeps working. We still need to investigate whether the
root cause is in `xim-rs` or `ibus-x11`.
Release Notes:
- Fixed an issue on X11 where keyboard input sometimes didn’t work on
first start.
The Zed Plex fonts were found to violate the OFL by using the word Plex
in the name.
Lilex has better ligatures and box-drawing characters than Zed Plex
Mono, but Zed Plex Sans should be identical
to IBM Plex Sans.
Closes#15542Closeszed-industries/zed-fonts#31
Release Notes:
- The "Zed Plex Sans" and "Zed Plex Mono" fonts have been replaced with
"IBM Plex Sans" and "Lilex". The old names still work for backward
compatibility. Other than fixing line-drawing characters, and improving
the ligatures, there should be little visual change as the fonts are all
of the same family.
- Introduced ".ZedSans" and ".ZedMono" as aliases to allow us to easily
change the default fonts in the future. These currently default to "IBM
Plex Sans" and "Lilex" respectively.
Closes#35316
Bug in https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/34514
Turns out you are not supposed to call `update_key` for modifiers on
`KeyPress`/`KeyRelease`, as modifiers are already updated in
`XkbStateNotify` events. Not sure why this only causes issues on a few
systems and works on others.
Tested on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS (initial bug) and Kubuntu 25.04 (worked
fine before too).
Release Notes:
- Fixed an issue where caps lock stopped working consistently on some
Linux X11 systems.
I was interested in potentially using gpui for a hobby project, but
needed [layer
shell](https://wayland.app/protocols/wlr-layer-shell-unstable-v1)
support for it. Turns out gpui's (excellent!) architecture made that
super easy to implement, so I went ahead and did it.
Layer shell is a window role used for notification windows, lock
screens, docks, backgrounds, etc. Supporting it in gpui opens the door
to implementing applications like that using the framework.
If this turns out interesting enough to merge - I'm also happy to
provide a follow-up PR (when I have the time to) to implement some of
the desirable window options for layer shell surfaces, such as:
- namespace (currently always `""`)
- keyboard interactivity (currently always `OnDemand`, which mimics
normal keyboard interactivity)
- anchor, exclusive zone, margins
- popups
Release Notes:
- Added support for wayland layer shell surfaces in gpui

Closes#31330
Second parts of https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/31335
While the initial fix set the inset during drawing, that was after the
window was resized, resulting in needing to manually resize the window
for the change to properly take effect.
I updated the code to not make the Wayland renderer rely on
`client_inset` being updated by the API user to match with the
decoration mode (given it is supposed to only be used when using CSD).
I might later try to generalize that, and eventually make the
client_inset only defined on window creation (instead of inside
`client_side_decorations`, that would need testing on X) (and maybe also
allow configuration for shadow, but it’s not something I need).
Release Notes:
- Fixed switching from client side decoration to server side decoration
on Wayland
There were two different underlying reasons for the issues with
ctrl-number and ctrl-punctuation:
1. Some keys in the ctrl-0..9 range send codes in the `\1b`..`\1f`
range. For example, `ctrl-2` sends keycode for `ctrl-[` (0x1b), but we
want to map it to `2`, not to `[`.
2. `ctrl-[` and four other ctrl-punctuation were incorrectly mapped,
since the expected conversion is by adding 0x40
Closes#35012
Release Notes:
- N/A
Wayland compositors can potentially generate thousands of resize
requests when drag-resizing a window, which Zed is unable to keep up
with. This commit changes the behavior to only resize once per vblank
cycle, which helps significantly when resizing the window with a high
poll-rate mouse (1000Hz is common these days)
Here is an example of the behavior pre and post this commit, with some
print-debugging added for tracking resize calls. I have a wireless mouse
with a 2000Hz polling rate and a 165Hz display:

Release Notes:
- Improved: Make resizing smoother on Wayland/Linux
Instead of selecting a screen to share arbitrarily, we'll now allow user
to select the screen to share. Note that sharing multiple screens at the
time is still not supported (though prolly not too far-fetched).
Related to #4666

Release Notes:
- Added screen selector dropdown to screen share button

Closes#26468#16667
This PR fixes the spacebar not working with multiple keyboard layouts on
Linux X11. I have tested this with Czech, Russian, German, German Neo 2,
etc. It seems to work correctly.
`XkbStateNotify` events correctly update XKB state with complete
modifier info (depressed/latched/locked), but `KeyPress/KeyRelease`
events immediately overwrite that state using `update_mask()` with only
raw X11 modifier bits. This breaks xkb state as we reset `latched_mods`
and `locked_mods` to 0, as well as we might not correctly handle cases
where this new xkb state needs to change.
Previous logic is flawed because `KeyPress/KeyRelease` event only gives
you depressed modifiers (`event.state`) and not others, which we try to
fill in from `previous_xkb_state`. This patch was introduced to fix
capitalization issue with Neo 2
(https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/14466) and later to fix
wrong keys with German layout
(https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/31193), both of which I have
tested this PR with.
Now, instead of manually managing XKB state, we use the `update_key`
method, which internally handles modifier states and other cases we
might have missed.
From `update_key` docs:
> Update the keyboard state to reflect a given key being pressed or
released.
>
> This entry point is intended for programs which track the keyboard
state explictly (like an evdev client). If the state is serialized to
you by a master process (like a Wayland compositor) using functions like
`xkb_state_serialize_mods()`, you should use `xkb_state_update_mask()`
instead. **_The two functins should not generally be used together._**
>
> A series of calls to this function should be consistent; that is, a
call with `xkb::KEY_DOWN` for a key should be matched by an
`xkb::KEY_UP`; if a key is pressed twice, it should be released twice;
etc. Otherwise (e.g. due to missed input events), situations like "stuck
modifiers" may occur.
>
> This function is often used in conjunction with the function
`xkb_state_key_get_syms()` (or `xkb_state_key_get_one_sym()`), for
example, when handling a key event. In this case, you should prefer to
get the keysyms *before* updating the key, such that the keysyms
reported for the key event are not affected by the event itself. This is
the conventional behavior.
Release Notes:
- Fix the issue where the spacebar doesn’t work with multiple keyboard
layouts on Linux X11.
Addresses #10972Closes#24950Closes#24499
Adds _key_en_ to _Keystroke_ that is derived from key's scan code. This
is more lightweight approach than #32529
Currently has been tested on x11 and windows. Mac code hasn't been
implemented yet.
Release Notes:
- linux: When typing non-ASCII keys on Linux we will now also match
keybindings against the QWERTY-equivalent layout. This should allow most
of Zed's builtin shortcuts to work out of the box on most keyboard
layouts. **Breaking change**: If you had been using `keysym` names in
your keyboard shortcut file (`ctrl-cyrillic_yeru`, etc.) you should now
use the QWERTY-equivalent characters instead.

Closes#14537
- Adds server-side scale factor detection via `randr` when client-side
detection fails using `xrdb/Xft.dpi`.
- Adds the `GPUI_X11_SCALE_FACTOR` flag to force a scale factor, which
can be a positive number for custom scaling or `randr` for server-side
scale factor detection.
Release Notes:
- Fixed an issue where the scale factor was not detected correctly on
X11 systems when `Xft.dpi` is not defined (mostly in cases involving
window managers).
Add `screen-capture` feature to gpui to enable screen capture support. The motivation for this is to make dependencies on scap / x11 / xcb optional.
Release Notes:
- N/A
