1577
1578```json [settings]
1579{
1580  "drag_and_drop_selection": {
1581    "enabled": true,
1582    "delay": 300
1583  }

1612- Setting: `use_system_window_tabs`
1613- Default: `false`
1614
1615**Options**
1616
1617This setting enables integration with macOS’s native window tabbing feature. When set to `true`, Zed windows can be grouped together as tabs in a single macOS window, following the system-wide tabbing preferences set by the user (such as "Always", "In Full Screen", or "Never"). This setting is only available on macOS.
1618
1619## Enable Language Server
1620
1621- Description: Whether or not to use language servers to provide code intelligence.
1622- Setting: `enable_language_server`

1638
1639## Line Ending
1640
1641- Description: How line endings should be handled for new files and during format and save. This can be specified on a per-language basis.
1642- Setting: `line_ending`
1643- Default: `detect`
1644
1645**Options**
1646
16471. To detect existing line endings and otherwise use the platform default (`lf` on Unix, `crlf` on Windows), set it to `detect`:
1648
1649```json [settings]
1650{
1651  "line_ending": "detect"
1652}
1653```
1654
16552. To prefer LF (`\n`) for new files and files with no existing line ending, use `prefer_lf`:
1656
1657```json [settings]
1658{
1659  "line_ending": "prefer_lf"
1660}
1661```
1662
16633. To prefer CRLF (`\r\n`) for new files and files with no existing line ending, use `prefer_crlf`:
1664
1665```json [settings]
1666{
1667  "line_ending": "prefer_crlf"
1668}
1669```
1670
16714. To enforce LF (`\n`) during format and save, use `enforce_lf`:
1672
1673```json [settings]
1674{
1675  "line_ending": "enforce_lf"
1676}
1677```
1678
16795. To enforce CRLF (`\r\n`) during format and save, use `enforce_crlf`:
1680
1681```json [settings]
1682{
1683  "line_ending": "enforce_crlf"
1684}
1685```
1686
1687The [`.editorconfig`](https://editorconfig.org) `end_of_line` property overrides this setting and behaves like `enforce_lf` or `enforce_crlf`.
1688
1689## Expand Excerpt Lines
1690
1691- Description: The default number of lines to expand excerpts in the multibuffer by
1692- Setting: `expand_excerpt_lines`

1698
1699## Excerpt Context Lines
1700
1701- Description: The number of lines of context to provide when showing excerpts in the multibuffer.
1702- Setting: `excerpt_context_lines`
1703- Default: `2`
1704
1705**Options**
1706
1707Positive `integer` value between 1 and 32. Values outside of this range will be clamped to this range.
1708

1711- Description: Whether to start a new line with a comment when a previous line is a comment as well.
1712- Setting: `extend_comment_on_newline`
1713- Default: `true`
1714
1715**Options**
1716
1717`boolean` values
1718
1719## Status Bar
1720
1721- Description: Control various elements in the status bar. Note that some items in the status bar have their own settings set elsewhere.
1722- Setting: `status_bar`
1723- Default:
1724
1725```json [settings]
1726{
1727  "status_bar": {
1728    "active_language_button": true,
1729    "cursor_position_button": true,
1730    "line_endings_button": false
1731  }
1732}
1733```
1734
1735There is an experimental setting that completely hides the status bar. This causes major usability problems (you will be unable to use many of Zed's features), but is provided for those who value screen real-estate above all else.
1736
1737```json
1738"status_bar": {
1739  "experimental.show": false
1740}
1741```
1742
1743## LSP
1744
1745- Description: Configuration for language servers.
1746- Setting: `lsp`
1747- Default: `null`
1748
1749**Options**
1750
1751The following settings can be overridden for specific language servers:
1752
1753- `initialization_options`
1754- `settings`
1755
1756To override configuration for a language server, add an entry for that language server's name to the `lsp` value.
1757
1758Some options are passed via `initialization_options` to the language server. These are for options which must be specified at language server startup and when changed will require restarting the language server.
1759
1760For example to pass the `check` option to `rust-analyzer`, use the following configuration:
1761
1762```json [settings]
1763{
1764  "lsp": {
1765    "rust-analyzer": {
1766      "initialization_options": {
1767        "check": {
1768          "command": "clippy" // rust-analyzer.check.command (default: "check")
1769        }
1770      }
1771    }
1772  }
1773}
1774```
1775
1776While other options may be changed at a runtime and should be placed under `settings`:
1777
1778```json [settings]
1779{
1780  "lsp": {
1781    "yaml-language-server": {
1782      "settings": {
1783        "yaml": {
1784          "keyOrdering": true // Enforces alphabetical ordering of keys in maps
1785        }
1786      }
1787    }
1788  }
1789}
1790```
1791
1792## Global LSP Settings
1793
1794- Description: Configuration for global LSP settings that apply to all language servers
1795- Setting: `global_lsp_settings`
1796- Default:
1797
1798```json [settings]
1799{
1800  "global_lsp_settings": {
1801    "button": true,
1802    "request_timeout": 120,
1803    "notifications": {
1804      // Timeout in milliseconds for automatically dismissing language server notifications.
1805      // Set to 0 to disable auto-dismiss.
1806      "dismiss_timeout_ms": 5000
1807    }
1808  }
1809}
1810```
1811
1812**Options**
1813
1814- `button`: Whether to show the LSP status button in the status bar
1815- `request_timeout`: The maximum amount of time to wait for responses from language servers, in seconds. A value of `0` will result in no timeout being applied (causing all LSP responses to wait indefinitely until completed). Default: `120`
1816- `notifications`: Notification-related settings.
1817  - `dismiss_timeout_ms`: Timeout in milliseconds for automatically dismissing language server notifications. Set to 0 to disable auto-dismiss.
1818
1819## LSP Highlight Debounce
1820
1821- Description: The debounce delay in milliseconds before querying highlights from the language server based on the current cursor location.
1822- Setting: `lsp_highlight_debounce`
1823- Default: `75`
1824
1825**Options**
1826
1827`integer` values representing milliseconds
1828
1829## Features
1830
1831- Description: Features that can be globally enabled or disabled
1832- Setting: `features`
1833- Default:
1834
1835```json [settings]
1836{
1837  "edit_predictions": {
1838    "provider": "zed"
1839  }
1840}
1841```
1842
1843### Edit Prediction Provider
1844
1845- Description: Which edit prediction provider to use
1846- Setting: `edit_prediction_provider`
1847- Default: `"zed"`
1848
1849**Options**
1850
18511. Use Zeta as the edit prediction provider:
1852
1853```json [settings]
1854{
1855  "edit_predictions": {
1856    "provider": "zed"
1857  }
1858}
1859```
1860
18612. Use Copilot as the edit prediction provider:
1862
1863```json [settings]
1864{
1865  "edit_predictions": {
1866    "provider": "copilot"
1867  }
1868}
1869```
1870
18713. Turn off edit predictions across all providers
1872
1873```json [settings]
1874{
1875  "edit_predictions": {
1876    "provider": "none"
1877  }
1878}
1879```
1880
1881## Format On Save
1882
1883- Description: Whether or not to perform a buffer format before saving.
1884- Setting: `format_on_save`
1885- Default: `on`
1886
1887**Options**
1888
18891. `on`, enables format on save obeying `formatter` setting:
1890
1891```json [settings]
1892{
1893  "format_on_save": "on"
1894}
1895```
1896
18972. `off`, disables format on save:
1898
1899```json [settings]
1900{
1901  "format_on_save": "off"
1902}
1903```
1904
1905## Formatter
1906
1907- Description: How to perform a buffer format.
1908- Setting: `formatter`
1909- Default: `auto`
1910
1911**Options**
1912
19131. To use the current language server, use `"language_server"`:
1914
1915```json [settings]
1916{
1917  "formatter": "language_server"
1918}
1919```
1920
19212. Or to use an external command, use `"external"`. Specify the name of the formatting program to run, and an array of arguments to pass to the program. The buffer's text will be passed to the program on stdin, and the formatted output should be written to stdout. For example, the following command would strip trailing spaces using [`sed(1)`](https://linux.die.net/man/1/sed):
1922
1923```json [settings]
1924{
1925  "formatter": {
1926    "external": {
1927      "command": "sed",
1928      "arguments": ["-e", "s/ *$//"]
1929    }
1930  }
1931}
1932```
1933
19343. External formatters may optionally include a `{buffer_path}` placeholder which at runtime will include the path of the buffer being formatted. Formatters operate by receiving file content via standard input, reformatting it and then outputting it to standard output and so normally don't know the filename of what they are formatting. Tools like Prettier support receiving the file path via a command line argument which can then used to impact formatting decisions.
1935
1936WARNING: `{buffer_path}` should not be used to direct your formatter to read from a filename. Your formatter should only read from standard input and should not read or write files directly.
1937
1938```json [settings]
1939  "formatter": {
1940    "external": {
1941      "command": "prettier",
1942      "arguments": ["--stdin-filepath", "{buffer_path}"]
1943    }
1944  }
1945```
1946
19474. Or to use code actions provided by the connected language servers, use `"code_actions"`:
1948
1949```json [settings]
1950{
1951  "formatter": [
1952    // Use ESLint's --fix:
1953    { "code_action": "source.fixAll.eslint" },
1954    // Organize imports on save:
1955    { "code_action": "source.organizeImports" }
1956  ]
1957}
1958```
1959
19605. Or to use multiple formatters consecutively, use an array of formatters:
1961
1962```json [settings]
1963{
1964  "formatter": [
1965    { "language_server": { "name": "rust-analyzer" } },
1966    {
1967      "external": {
1968        "command": "sed",
1969        "arguments": ["-e", "s/ *$//"]
1970      }
1971    }
1972  ]
1973}
1974```
1975
1976Here `rust-analyzer` will be used first to format the code, followed by a call of sed.
1977If any of the formatters fails, the subsequent ones will still be executed.
1978
19796. To disable the formatter, use `"none"`. This setting disables the configured formatter, but any actions in `code_actions_on_format` will still be executed:
1980
1981```json [settings]
1982{
1983  "formatter": "none"
1984}
1985```
1986
1987## Auto close
1988
1989- Description: Whether to automatically add matching closing characters when typing opening parenthesis, bracket, brace, single or double quote characters.
1990- Setting: `use_autoclose`
1991- Default: `true`
1992
1993**Options**
1994
1995`boolean` values
1996
1997## Always Treat Brackets As Autoclosed
1998
1999- Description: Controls how the editor handles the autoclosed characters.
2000- Setting: `always_treat_brackets_as_autoclosed`
2001- Default: `false`
2002
2003**Options**
2004
2005`boolean` values
2006
2007**Example**
2008
2009If the setting is set to `true`:
2010
20111. Enter in the editor: `)))`
20122. Move the cursor to the start: `^)))`
20133. Enter again: `)))`
2014
2015The result is still `)))` and not `))))))`, which is what it would be by default.
2016
2017## File Scan Exclusions
2018
2019- Setting: `file_scan_exclusions`
2020- Description: Files or globs of files that will be excluded by Zed entirely. They will be skipped during file scans, file searches, and not be displayed in the project file tree. Overrides `file_scan_inclusions`.
2021- Default:
2022
2023```json [settings]
2024{
2025  "file_scan_exclusions": [
2026    "**/.git",
2027    "**/.svn",
2028    "**/.hg",
2029    "**/.jj",
2030    "**/CVS",
2031    "**/.DS_Store",
2032    "**/Thumbs.db",
2033    "**/.classpath",
2034    "**/.settings"
2035  ]
2036}
2037```
2038
2039Note, specifying `file_scan_exclusions` in settings.json will override the defaults (shown above). If you are looking to exclude additional items you will need to include all the default values in your settings.
2040
2041## File Scan Inclusions
2042
2043- Setting: `file_scan_inclusions`
2044- Description: Files or globs of files that will be included by Zed, even when ignored by git. This is useful for files that are not tracked by git, but are still important to your project. Note that globs that are overly broad can slow down Zed's file scanning. `file_scan_exclusions` takes precedence over these inclusions.
2045- Default:
2046
2047```json [settings]
2048{
2049  "file_scan_inclusions": [".env*"]
2050}
2051```
2052
2053## File Types
2054
2055- Setting: `file_types`
2056- Description: Configure how Zed selects a language for a file based on its filename or extension. Supports glob entries.
2057- Default:
2058
2059```json [settings]
2060{
2061  "file_types": {
2062    "JSONC": [
2063      "**/.zed/**/*.json",
2064      "**/zed/**/*.json",
2065      "**/Zed/**/*.json",
2066      "**/.vscode/**/*.json"
2067    ],
2068    "Shell Script": [".env.*"]
2069  }
2070}
2071```
2072
2073**Examples**
2074
2075To interpret all `.c` files as C++, files called `MyLockFile` as TOML and files starting with `Dockerfile` as Dockerfile:
2076
2077```json [settings]
2078{
2079  "file_types": {
2080    "C++": ["c"],
2081    "TOML": ["MyLockFile"],
2082    "Dockerfile": ["Dockerfile*"]

3028
3029- Description: Configure a network proxy for Zed.
3030- Setting: `proxy`
3031- Default: `null`
3032
3033**Options**
3034
3035The proxy setting must contain a URL to the proxy.
3036
3037The following URI schemes are supported:
3038
3039- `http`
3040- `https`
3041- `socks4` - SOCKS4 proxy with local DNS
3042- `socks4a` - SOCKS4 proxy with remote DNS
3043- `socks5` - SOCKS5 proxy with local DNS
3044- `socks5h` - SOCKS5 proxy with remote DNS
3045
3046`http` will be used when no scheme is specified.
3047
3048By default no proxy will be used, or Zed will attempt to retrieve proxy settings from environment variables, such as `http_proxy`, `HTTP_PROXY`, `https_proxy`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, `all_proxy`, `ALL_PROXY`, `no_proxy` and `NO_PROXY`.
3049
3050For example, to set an `http` proxy, add the following to your settings:
3051
3052```json [settings]
3053{
3054  "proxy": "http://127.0.0.1:10809"
3055}
3056```
3057
3058Or to set a `socks5` proxy:
3059
3060```json [settings]
3061{
3062  "proxy": "socks5h://localhost:10808"
3063}
3064```
3065
3066If you wish to exclude certain hosts from using the proxy, set the `NO_PROXY` environment variable. This accepts a comma-separated list of hostnames, host suffixes, IPv4/IPv6 addresses or blocks that should not use the proxy. For example if your environment included `NO_PROXY="google.com, 192.168.1.0/24"` all hosts in `192.168.1.*`, `google.com` and `*.google.com` would bypass the proxy. See [reqwest NoProxy docs](https://docs.rs/reqwest/latest/reqwest/struct.NoProxy.html#method.from_string) for more.

5128
5129**Options**
5130
51311. Case-insensitive natural sort with lowercase preferred in ties. Numbers in file names are compared by their numeric value (e.g., `file2` sorts before `file10`). Names that differ only in casing are sorted with lowercase first (e.g., `apple` before `Apple`).
5132
5133```json [settings]
5134{
5135  "project_panel": {
5136    "sort_order": "default"
5137  }
5138}
5139```
5140
51412. Uppercase names are grouped before lowercase names, with case-insensitive natural sort within each group. Dot-prefixed names (e.g., `.gitignore`) sort before both groups. Accented uppercase letters like `É` are treated as uppercase.
5142
5143```json [settings]

5156    "sort_order": "lower"
5157  }
5158}
5159```
5160
51614. Pure Unicode codepoint comparison. No case folding and no natural number sorting. Uppercase ASCII letters (`A`–`Z`) sort before lowercase (`a`–`z`) as a natural consequence of their codepoint values. Accented characters like `É` (U+00C9) sort after all ASCII letters. Numbers are compared lexicographically (`file10` sorts before `file2`).
5162
5163```json [settings]
5164{
5165  "project_panel": {
5166    "sort_order": "unicode"

5279- Setting: `git.worktree_directory`
5280- Default: `"../worktrees"`
5281
5282When the resolved directory falls outside the project root, the project's directory name is automatically appended so that sibling repos don't collide. For example, with the default `"../worktrees"` and a project at `~/code/zed`, worktrees are created under `~/code/worktrees/zed/`.
