# Tasks
|
|
|
|
Zed supports ways to spawn (and rerun) commands using its integrated terminal to output the results.
|
|
|
|
Currently, two kinds of tasks are supported, but more will be added in the future.
|
|
|
|
All tasks are sorted in LRU order and their names can be used (with `menu::UseSelectedQuery`, `shift-enter` by default) as an input text for quicker oneshot task edit-spawn cycle.
|
|
|
|
## Static tasks
|
|
|
|
Tasks, defined in a config file (`tasks.json` in the Zed config directory) that do not depend on the current editor or its content.
|
|
|
|
Config file can be opened with `zed::OpenTasks` action ("zed: open tasks" in the command palette), it will have a configuration example with all options commented.
|
|
|
|
Every task from that file can be spawned via the task modal, that is opened with `task::Spawn` action ("tasks: spawn" in the command pane).
|
|
|
|
Last task spawned via that modal can be rerun with `task::Rerun` ("tasks: rerun" in the command palette) command.
|
|
|
|
## Oneshot tasks
|
|
|
|
Same task modal opened via `task::Spawn` supports arbitrary bash-like command execution: type a command inside the modal, and use `cmd-enter` to spawn it.
|
|
|
|
Task modal will persist list of those command for current Zed session, `task::Rerun` will also rerun such tasks if they were the last ones spawned.
