1467- Description: Whether to allow windows to tab together based on the user’s tabbing preference (macOS only).
1468- Setting: `use_system_window_tabs`
1469- Default: `false`
1470
1471**Options**
1472
1473This 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.
1474
1475## Enable Language Server
1476
1477- Description: Whether or not to use language servers to provide code intelligence.

1503Positive `integer` values
1504
1505## Excerpt Context Lines
1506
1507- Description: The number of lines of context to provide when showing excerpts in the multibuffer.
1508- Setting: `excerpt_context_lines`
1509- Default: `2`
1510
1511**Options**
1512
1513Positive `integer` value between 1 and 32. Values outside of this range will be clamped to this range.
1514

1532"status_bar": {
1533  "active_language_button": true,
1534  "cursor_position_button": true,
1535  "line_endings_button": false
1536},
1537```
1538
1539There 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.
1540
1541```json
1542"status_bar": {
1543  "experimental.show": false
1544}
1545```
1546
1547## LSP
1548
1549- Description: Configuration for language servers.
1550- Setting: `lsp`
1551- Default: `null`
1552
1553**Options**
1554
1555The following settings can be overridden for specific language servers:
1556
1557- `initialization_options`
1558- `settings`
1559
1560To override configuration for a language server, add an entry for that language server's name to the `lsp` value.
1561
1562Some 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.
1563
1564For example to pass the `check` option to `rust-analyzer`, use the following configuration:
1565
1566```json [settings]
1567"lsp": {
1568  "rust-analyzer": {
1569    "initialization_options": {
1570      "check": {
1571        "command": "clippy" // rust-analyzer.check.command (default: "check")
1572      }
1573    }
1574  }
1575}
1576```
1577
1578While other options may be changed at a runtime and should be placed under `settings`:
1579
1580```json [settings]
1581"lsp": {
1582  "yaml-language-server": {
1583    "settings": {
1584      "yaml": {
1585        "keyOrdering": true // Enforces alphabetical ordering of keys in maps
1586      }
1587    }
1588  }
1589}
1590```
1591
1592## Global LSP Settings
1593
1594- Description: Configuration for global LSP settings that apply to all language servers
1595- Setting: `global_lsp_settings`
1596- Default:
1597
1598```json [settings]
1599{
1600  "global_lsp_settings": {
1601    "button": true,
1602    "request_timeout": 120,
1603    "notifications": {
1604      // Timeout in milliseconds for automatically dismissing language server notifications.
1605      // Set to 0 to disable auto-dismiss.
1606      "dismiss_timeout_ms": 5000
1607    }
1608  }
1609}
1610```
1611
1612**Options**
1613
1614- `button`: Whether to show the LSP status button in the status bar
1615- `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`
1616- `notifications`: Notification-related settings.
1617  - `dismiss_timeout_ms`: Timeout in milliseconds for automatically dismissing language server notifications. Set to 0 to disable auto-dismiss.
1618
1619## LSP Highlight Debounce
1620
1621- Description: The debounce delay in milliseconds before querying highlights from the language server based on the current cursor location.
1622- Setting: `lsp_highlight_debounce`
1623- Default: `75`
1624
1625**Options**
1626
1627`integer` values representing milliseconds
1628
1629## Features
1630
1631- Description: Features that can be globally enabled or disabled
1632- Setting: `features`
1633- Default:
1634
1635```json [settings]
1636{
1637  "features": {
1638    "edit_prediction_provider": "zed"
1639  }
1640}
1641```
1642
1643### Edit Prediction Provider
1644
1645- Description: Which edit prediction provider to use
1646- Setting: `edit_prediction_provider`
1647- Default: `"zed"`
1648
1649**Options**
1650
16511. Use Zeta as the edit prediction provider:
1652
1653```json [settings]
1654{
1655  "features": {
1656    "edit_prediction_provider": "zed"
1657  }
1658}
1659```
1660
16612. Use Copilot as the edit prediction provider:
1662
1663```json [settings]
1664{
1665  "features": {
1666    "edit_prediction_provider": "copilot"
1667  }
1668}
1669```
1670
16713. Use Supermaven as the edit prediction provider:
1672
1673```json [settings]
1674{
1675  "features": {
1676    "edit_prediction_provider": "supermaven"
1677  }
1678}
1679```
1680
16814. Turn off edit predictions across all providers
1682
1683```json [settings]
1684{
1685  "features": {
1686    "edit_prediction_provider": "none"
1687  }
1688}
1689```
1690
1691## Format On Save
1692
1693- Description: Whether or not to perform a buffer format before saving.
1694- Setting: `format_on_save`
1695- Default: `on`
1696
1697**Options**
1698
16991. `on`, enables format on save obeying `formatter` setting:
1700
1701```json [settings]
1702{
1703  "format_on_save": "on"
1704}
1705```
1706
17072. `off`, disables format on save:
1708
1709```json [settings]
1710{
1711  "format_on_save": "off"
1712}
1713```
1714
1715## Formatter
1716
1717- Description: How to perform a buffer format.
1718- Setting: `formatter`
1719- Default: `auto`
1720
1721**Options**
1722
17231. To use the current language server, use `"language_server"`:
1724
1725```json [settings]
1726{
1727  "formatter": "language_server"
1728}
1729```
1730
17312. 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):
1732
1733```json [settings]
1734{
1735  "formatter": {
1736    "external": {
1737      "command": "sed",
1738      "arguments": ["-e", "s/ *$//"]
1739    }
1740  }
1741}
1742```
1743
17443. External formatters may optionally include a `{buffer_path}` placeholder which at runtime will include the path of the buffer being formatted. Formatters operate by receiving file content via standard input, reformatting it and then outputting it to standard output and so normally don't know the filename of what they are formatting. Tools like Prettier support receiving the file path via a command line argument which can then used to impact formatting decisions.
1745
1746WARNING: `{buffer_path}` should not be used to direct your formatter to read from a filename. Your formatter should only read from standard input and should not read or write files directly.
1747
1748```json [settings]
1749  "formatter": {
1750    "external": {
1751      "command": "prettier",
1752      "arguments": ["--stdin-filepath", "{buffer_path}"]
1753    }
1754  }
1755```
1756
17574. Or to use code actions provided by the connected language servers, use `"code_actions"`:
1758
1759```json [settings]
1760{
1761  "formatter": [
1762    // Use ESLint's --fix:
1763    { "code_action": "source.fixAll.eslint" },
1764    // Organize imports on save:
1765    { "code_action": "source.organizeImports" }
1766  ]
1767}
1768```
1769
17705. Or to use multiple formatters consecutively, use an array of formatters:
1771
1772```json [settings]
1773{
1774  "formatter": [
1775    { "language_server": { "name": "rust-analyzer" } },
1776    {
1777      "external": {
1778        "command": "sed",
1779        "arguments": ["-e", "s/ *$//"]
1780      }
1781    }
1782  ]
1783}
1784```
1785
1786Here `rust-analyzer` will be used first to format the code, followed by a call of sed.
1787If any of the formatters fails, the subsequent ones will still be executed.
1788
1789## Auto close
1790
1791- Description: Whether to automatically add matching closing characters when typing opening parenthesis, bracket, brace, single or double quote characters.
1792- Setting: `use_autoclose`
1793- Default: `true`
1794
1795**Options**
1796
1797`boolean` values
1798
1799## Always Treat Brackets As Autoclosed
1800
1801- Description: Controls how the editor handles the autoclosed characters.
1802- Setting: `always_treat_brackets_as_autoclosed`
1803- Default: `false`
1804
1805**Options**
1806
1807`boolean` values
1808
1809**Example**
1810
1811If the setting is set to `true`:
1812
18131. Enter in the editor: `)))`
18142. Move the cursor to the start: `^)))`
18153. Enter again: `)))`
1816
1817The result is still `)))` and not `))))))`, which is what it would be by default.
1818
1819## File Scan Exclusions
1820
1821- Setting: `file_scan_exclusions`
1822- 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`.
1823- Default:
1824
1825```json [settings]
1826"file_scan_exclusions": [
1827  "**/.git",
1828  "**/.svn",
1829  "**/.hg",
1830  "**/.jj",
1831  "**/CVS",
1832  "**/.DS_Store",
1833  "**/Thumbs.db",
1834  "**/.classpath",
1835  "**/.settings"
1836],
1837```
1838
1839Note, 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.
1840
1841## File Scan Inclusions
1842
1843- Setting: `file_scan_inclusions`
1844- 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.
1845- Default:
1846
1847```json [settings]
1848"file_scan_inclusions": [".env*"],
1849```
1850
1851## File Types
1852
1853- Setting: `file_types`
1854- Description: Configure how Zed selects a language for a file based on its filename or extension. Supports glob entries.
1855- Default:
1856
1857```json [settings]
1858"file_types": {
1859  "JSONC": ["**/.zed/**/*.json", "**/zed/**/*.json", "**/Zed/**/*.json", "**/.vscode/**/*.json"],
1860  "Shell Script": [".env.*"]
1861}
1862```
1863
1864**Examples**
1865
1866To interpret all `.c` files as C++, files called `MyLockFile` as TOML and files starting with `Dockerfile` as Dockerfile:
1867
1868```json [settings]
1869{
1870  "file_types": {
1871    "C++": ["c"],
1872    "TOML": ["MyLockFile"],
1873    "Dockerfile": ["Dockerfile*"]
1874  }
1875}

2760The following URI schemes are supported:
2761
2762- `http`
2763- `https`
2764- `socks4` - SOCKS4 proxy with local DNS
2765- `socks4a` - SOCKS4 proxy with remote DNS
2766- `socks5` - SOCKS5 proxy with local DNS
2767- `socks5h` - SOCKS5 proxy with remote DNS
2768
2769`http` will be used when no scheme is specified.
2770
2771By 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`.
2772
2773For example, to set an `http` proxy, add the following to your settings:
2774
2775```json [settings]
2776{
2777  "proxy": "http://127.0.0.1:10809"
2778}
2779```
2780
2781Or to set a `socks5` proxy:
2782
2783```json [settings]
2784{
2785  "proxy": "socks5h://localhost:10808"
2786}
2787```
2788
2789If 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.
