1# Configuring Zed
   2
   3Zed is designed to be configured: we want to fit your workflow and preferences exactly. We provide default settings that are designed to be a comfortable starting point for as many people as possible, but we hope you will enjoy tweaking it to make it feel incredible.
   4
   5In addition to the settings described here, you may also want to change your [theme](./themes.md), configure your [key bindings](./key-bindings.md), set up [tasks](./tasks.md) or install [extensions](https://github.com/zed-industries/extensions).
   6
   7## Settings Editor
   8
   9You can browse through many of the supported settings via the Settings Editor, which can be opened with the {#kb zed::OpenSettings} keybinding, or through the `zed: open settings` action in the command palette. Through it, you can customize your local, user settings as well as project settings.
  10
  11> Note that not all settings that Zed supports are available through the Settings Editor yet.
  12> Some more intricate ones, such as language formatters, can only be changed through the JSON settings file {#kb zed::OpenSettingsFile}.
  13
  14## User Settings File
  15
  16<!--
  17TBD: Settings files. Rewrite with "remote settings" in mind (e.g. `local settings` on the remote host).
  18Consider renaming `zed: Open Local Settings` to `zed: Open Project Settings`.
  19
  20TBD: Add settings documentation about how settings are merged as overlays. E.g. project>local>default. Note how settings that are maps are merged, but settings that are arrays are replaced and must include the defaults.
  21-->
  22
  23Your settings JSON file can be opened with {#kb zed::OpenSettingsFile}.
  24By default it is located at `~/.config/zed/settings.json`, though if you have `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` in your environment on Linux it will be at `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/zed/settings.json` instead.
  25
  26Whatever you have added to your user settings file gets merged with any local configuration inside your projects.
  27
  28### Default Settings
  29
  30In the Settings Editor, the values you see set are the default ones.
  31You can also verify them in JSON by running {#action zed::OpenDefaultSettings} from the command palette.
  32
  33Extensions that provide language servers may also provide default settings for those language servers.
  34
  35## Project Settings File
  36
  37Similarly to user files, you can open your project settings file by running {#action zed::OpenProjectSettings} from the command palette.
  38This will create a `.zed` directory containing`.zed/settings.json`.
  39
  40Although most projects will only need one settings file at the root, you can add more local settings files for subdirectories as needed.
  41Not all settings can be set in local files, just those that impact the behavior of the editor and language tooling.
  42For example you can set `tab_size`, `formatter` etc. but not `theme`, `vim_mode` and similar.
  43
  44The syntax for configuration files is a super-set of JSON that allows `//` comments.
  45
  46## Per-release Channel Overrides
  47
  48Zed reads the same `settings.json` across all release channels (Stable, Preview or Nightly).
  49However, you can scope overrides to a specific channel by adding top-level `stable`, `preview`, `nightly` or `dev` objects.
  50They are merged into the base configuration with settings from these keys taking precedence upon launching the specified build. For example:
  51
  52```json [settings]
  53{
  54  "theme": "sunset",
  55  "vim_mode": false,
  56  "nightly": {
  57    "theme": "cave-light",
  58    "vim_mode": true
  59  },
  60  "preview": {
  61    "theme": "zed-dark"
  62  }
  63}
  64```
  65
  66With this configuration, Stable keeps all base preferences, Preview switches to `zed-dark`, and Nightly enables Vim mode with a different theme.
  67
  68Changing settings in the Settings Editorwill always apply the change across all channels.

1638  "line_endings_button": false,
1639  "active_encoding_button": "non_utf8"
1640},
1641```
1642
1643There 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.
1644
1645```json
1646"status_bar": {
1647  "experimental.show": false
1648}
1649```
1650
1651## LSP
1652
1653- Description: Configuration for language servers.
1654- Setting: `lsp`
1655- Default: `null`
1656
1657**Options**
1658
1659The following settings can be overridden for specific language servers:
1660
1661- `initialization_options`
1662- `settings`
1663
1664To override configuration for a language server, add an entry for that language server's name to the `lsp` value.
1665
1666Some 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.
1667
1668For example to pass the `check` option to `rust-analyzer`, use the following configuration:
1669
1670```json [settings]
1671"lsp": {
1672  "rust-analyzer": {
1673    "initialization_options": {
1674      "check": {
1675        "command": "clippy" // rust-analyzer.check.command (default: "check")
1676      }
1677    }
1678  }
1679}
1680```
1681
1682While other options may be changed at a runtime and should be placed under `settings`:
1683
1684```json [settings]
1685"lsp": {
1686  "yaml-language-server": {
1687    "settings": {
1688      "yaml": {
1689        "keyOrdering": true // Enforces alphabetical ordering of keys in maps
1690      }
1691    }
1692  }
1693}
1694```
1695

1705    "button": true
1706  }
1707}
1708```
1709
1710**Options**
1711
1712- `button`: Whether to show the LSP status button in the status bar
1713
1714## LSP Highlight Debounce
1715
1716- Description: The debounce delay in milliseconds before querying highlights from the language server based on the current cursor location.
1717- Setting: `lsp_highlight_debounce`
1718- Default: `75`
1719
1720**Options**

1733    "edit_prediction_provider": "zed"
1734  }
1735}
1736```
1737
1738### Edit Prediction Provider
1739
1740- Description: Which edit prediction provider to use
1741- Setting: `edit_prediction_provider`
1742- Default: `"zed"`
1743
1744**Options**
1745
17461. Use Zeta as the edit prediction provider:
1747
1748```json [settings]
1749{
1750  "features": {
1751    "edit_prediction_provider": "zed"
1752  }
1753}
1754```
1755
17562. Use Copilot as the edit prediction provider:
1757
1758```json [settings]
1759{
1760  "features": {
1761    "edit_prediction_provider": "copilot"
1762  }
1763}
1764```
1765
17663. Use Supermaven as the edit prediction provider:
1767
1768```json [settings]
1769{
1770  "features": {
1771    "edit_prediction_provider": "supermaven"
1772  }
1773}
1774```
1775

1777
1778```json [settings]
1779{
1780  "features": {
1781    "edit_prediction_provider": "none"
1782  }
1783}
1784```
1785
1786## Format On Save
1787
1788- Description: Whether or not to perform a buffer format before saving.
1789- Setting: `format_on_save`
1790- Default: `on`
1791
1792**Options**
1793
17941. `on`, enables format on save obeying `formatter` setting:
1795
1796```json [settings]
1797{
1798  "format_on_save": "on"
1799}
1800```
1801
18022. `off`, disables format on save:
1803
1804```json [settings]
1805{
1806  "format_on_save": "off"
1807}
1808```
1809
1810## Formatter
1811
1812- Description: How to perform a buffer format.
1813- Setting: `formatter`
1814- Default: `auto`
1815
1816**Options**
1817
18181. To use the current language server, use `"language_server"`:
1819
1820```json [settings]
1821{
1822  "formatter": "language_server"
1823}
1824```
1825
18262. 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):
1827
1828```json [settings]
1829{
1830  "formatter": {
1831    "external": {
1832      "command": "sed",
1833      "arguments": ["-e", "s/ *$//"]
1834    }
1835  }
1836}
1837```
1838
18393. External formatters may optionally include a `{buffer_path}` placeholder which at runtime will include the path of the buffer being formatted. Formatters operate by receiving file content via standard input, reformatting it and then outputting it to standard output and so normally don't know the filename of what they are formatting. Tools like Prettier support receiving the file path via a command line argument which can then used to impact formatting decisions.
1840
1841WARNING: `{buffer_path}` should not be used to direct your formatter to read from a filename. Your formatter should only read from standard input and should not read or write files directly.
1842
1843```json [settings]
1844  "formatter": {
1845    "external": {
1846      "command": "prettier",
1847      "arguments": ["--stdin-filepath", "{buffer_path}"]
1848    }
1849  }
1850```
1851
18524. Or to use code actions provided by the connected language servers, use `"code_actions"`:
1853
1854```json [settings]
1855{
1856  "formatter": [
1857    // Use ESLint's --fix:
1858    { "code_action": "source.fixAll.eslint" },
1859    // Organize imports on save:
1860    { "code_action": "source.organizeImports" }
1861  ]
1862}
1863```
1864
18655. Or to use multiple formatters consecutively, use an array of formatters:
1866
1867```json [settings]
1868{
1869  "formatter": [
1870    { "language_server": { "name": "rust-analyzer" } },
1871    {
1872      "external": {
1873        "command": "sed",
1874        "arguments": ["-e", "s/ *$//"]
1875      }
1876    }
1877  ]
1878}
1879```
1880
1881Here `rust-analyzer` will be used first to format the code, followed by a call of sed.
1882If any of the formatters fails, the subsequent ones will still be executed.
1883
1884## Auto close
1885
1886- Description: Whether to automatically add matching closing characters when typing opening parenthesis, bracket, brace, single or double quote characters.
1887- Setting: `use_autoclose`
1888- Default: `true`
1889
1890**Options**
1891
1892`boolean` values
1893
1894## Always Treat Brackets As Autoclosed
1895
1896- Description: Controls how the editor handles the autoclosed characters.
1897- Setting: `always_treat_brackets_as_autoclosed`
1898- Default: `false`
1899
1900**Options**
1901
1902`boolean` values
1903
1904**Example**
1905
1906If the setting is set to `true`:
1907
19081. Enter in the editor: `)))`
19092. Move the cursor to the start: `^)))`
19103. Enter again: `)))`
1911
1912The result is still `)))` and not `))))))`, which is what it would be by default.
1913
1914## File Scan Exclusions
1915
1916- Setting: `file_scan_exclusions`
1917- 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`.
1918- Default:
1919
1920```json [settings]
1921"file_scan_exclusions": [
1922  "**/.git",
1923  "**/.svn",
1924  "**/.hg",
1925  "**/.jj",
1926  "**/CVS",
1927  "**/.DS_Store",
1928  "**/Thumbs.db",
1929  "**/.classpath",
1930  "**/.settings"
1931],
1932```
1933
1934Note, 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.
1935
1936## File Scan Inclusions
1937
1938- Setting: `file_scan_inclusions`
1939- 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.
1940- Default:
1941
1942```json [settings]
1943"file_scan_inclusions": [".env*"],
1944```
1945
1946## File Types

1954  "JSONC": ["**/.zed/**/*.json", "**/zed/**/*.json", "**/Zed/**/*.json", "**/.vscode/**/*.json"],
1955  "Shell Script": [".env.*"]
1956}
1957```
1958
1959**Examples**
1960
1961To interpret all `.c` files as C++, files called `MyLockFile` as TOML and files starting with `Dockerfile` as Dockerfile:
1962
1963```json [settings]
1964{
1965  "file_types": {
1966    "C++": ["c"],
1967    "TOML": ["MyLockFile"],
1968    "Dockerfile": ["Dockerfile*"]
1969  }
1970}
1971```
1972
1973## Diagnostics

2846
2847**Options**
2848
2849The proxy setting must contain a URL to the proxy.
2850
2851The following URI schemes are supported:
2852
2853- `http`
2854- `https`
2855- `socks4` - SOCKS4 proxy with local DNS
2856- `socks4a` - SOCKS4 proxy with remote DNS
2857- `socks5` - SOCKS5 proxy with local DNS
2858- `socks5h` - SOCKS5 proxy with remote DNS
2859
2860`http` will be used when no scheme is specified.
2861
2862By 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`.
2863
2864For example, to set an `http` proxy, add the following to your settings:
2865
2866```json [settings]
2867{
2868  "proxy": "http://127.0.0.1:10809"
2869}
2870```
2871
2872Or to set a `socks5` proxy:
2873
2874```json [settings]
2875{
2876  "proxy": "socks5h://localhost:10808"
2877}
2878```
2879
2880If 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.
