Zed v1.11.3 Changelog

This update is all about making your workflow smoother, especially if you use Git (the tool that tracks changes in your code) or Zed's built-in AI assistant. Whether you are managing different versions of your project, chatting with the AI to debug your code, or just trying to find a specific function in a large file, these changes make the editor faster, more organized, and easier to customize.

What's new

• Dedicated Git Change Views: You can now open special views just for "Staged" changes (code ready to be saved to your history) and "Unstaged" changes (code you are still working on) to review your work line-by-line.
• Symbol Preview Pane: When searching for "symbols" (which are named parts of your code, like functions, classes, or variables), you can now see a quick preview of the code before you actually click and jump to it.
• Search in AI Terminal Threads: You can now use the standard search shortcut (Cmd+F on Mac or Ctrl+F on Windows/Linux) to find text inside your AI terminal chats.
• New AI Models: Added support for several new AI models (including Claude, GPT, and Grok models) through Amazon Bedrock and OpenCode.
• Zed Merch Store: A new command (zed: get merch) lets you quickly open Zed's official merchandise store.

Improvements

• Better Git Graph: You can now right-click the table header in the Git Graph (a visual map of your code's history) to show or hide columns, and read full commit messages formatted in clean, easy-to-read Markdown.
• Faster Project Search: Searching for a single line of text across your entire project is now much faster because the editor avoids scanning the same file content twice.
• Middle-Click to Keep Files Open: Middle-clicking a file in the sidebar now opens it in a permanent tab instead of a temporary preview tab.
• Smarter Bracket Colors: The editor is better at coloring matching brackets (like { and }) so they stand out clearly without ruining your color theme.
• Update Progress Bar: You can now see a progress bar showing how much of a software update has downloaded.

Fixes

• Text Finder Crashes: Fixed a bug where the search tool would crash the editor or use up too much computer memory, especially when closing it with the Escape key.
• Large File Deletion Crash: Fixed a crash that happened when trying to delete a massive number of untracked files at once in the Git panel.
• Failed Deletions Warning: If the editor fails to delete or move a file to the trash, it will now show a helpful pop-up message instead of failing silently.
