Zed v1.13.2 Changelog

This is a small maintenance update for the Zed code editor. It mostly matters to developers who use Zed daily, as it fixes a few annoying bugs—like a crash and a weird cursor movement issue—while making the documentation a bit more complete.

Fixes

• Cursor jumping with Option+Left: Normally, holding Option and pressing the Left arrow lets you jump backward word-by-word. A bug made the cursor stop awkwardly right before punctuation (like a comma or period) instead of jumping over it. This is fixed.
• Crash when adding selections: Zed lets you place multiple cursors at once to edit several lines together. If you did this using a specific feature called "tab-expanded column," the app would completely crash (a "panic"). That crash is now patched.
• Gruvbox theme colors: Gruvbox is a popular, warm color theme for code. The colors for "parameters" (the inputs you pass into a function) were displaying incorrectly, which is now corrected.

Improvements

• Better command-line docs: Zed has a command-line tool (CLI) that lets you open files from your computer's terminal. The instructions for this tool were missing a setting called --existing, which forces a file to open in a window you already have open instead of creating a new one. The documentation now includes it.
