Linux Support

Linux when? Linux now. 🎉🐧

Breaking changes

SETTINGS DEPRECATION NOTICE

In your settings.json the following keys will need to be renamed:

• language_overrides -> languages
• copilot -> inline_completions
• show_copilot_suggestions -> show_inline_completions

Previously, we were supporting the old keys as an alias for the new keys, but this let to unintended/confusing failure modes. As a result we have deprecated the old keys.

See: Settings Deprecation Notice 2024-06-17 for more information.

Pair the outline panel with the search multi-buffer to get a better overview of your search results!

• Added support for dropping files from the finder onto the project panel (#7386).
• Added a 'selection and movement' tool to the Editor's toolbar, as well as controls to toggle it and a setting to remove it ("toolbar": {"selections_menu": true/false }).

• Improved the look of code action and run indicators in the gutter (#12803).
• Improved the style of disclosure controls throughout the UI.

AI

Languages

• VTSLS is now a default language server for TypeScript, TSX, and JavaScript.

If you would like to continue using typescript-language-server, use the following setting in your settings.json:

"JavaScript": {
  "language_servers": ["!vtsls", "typescript-language-server", "..."]
},

• Added a more detailed message in place of the generic checking... messages when Rust-analyzer is running.

Enhancements

General

• Added an Ollama Provider for the assistant. If you have Ollama running locally on your machine, you can enable it in your settings under:

"assistant": {
    "version": "1",
    "provider": {
      "name": "ollama",
      // Recommended setting to allow for model startup
      "low_speed_timeout_in_seconds": 30,
    }
}

Interact with any model from the Ollama Library

Open up the terminal to download new models via ollama pull:

• Added support for snippets via simple-completion-language-server (#4611). To begin using snippets, install the snippets extension from the extension store:

Place your snippet files in ~/.config/zed/snippets. For instance, in your ~/.config/zed/snippets/snippets.json file, you may have:

{
  "my snippet": {
    "prefix": "log",
    "body": ["console.log(\"$1\")"],
    "description": "Expand `log` to `console.log()`"
  }
}
