1470## Use System Tabs
1471
1472- Description: Whether to allow windows to tab together based on the user’s tabbing preference (macOS only).
1473- Setting: `use_system_window_tabs`
1474- Default: `false`
1475
1476**Options**
1477
1478This 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.
1479

1508Positive `integer` values
1509
1510## Excerpt Context Lines
1511
1512- Description: The number of lines of context to provide when showing excerpts in the multibuffer.
1513- Setting: `excerpt_context_lines`
1514- Default: `2`
1515
1516**Options**
1517
1518Positive `integer` value between 1 and 32. Values outside of this range will be clamped to this range.

1537"status_bar": {
1538  "active_language_button": true,
1539  "cursor_position_button": true,
1540  "line_endings_button": false
1541},
1542```
1543
1544There 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.
1545
1546```json
1547"status_bar": {
1548  "experimental.show": false
1549}
1550```
1551
1552## LSP
1553
1554- Description: Configuration for language servers.
1555- Setting: `lsp`
1556- Default: `null`
1557
1558**Options**
1559
1560The following settings can be overridden for specific language servers:
1561
1562- `initialization_options`
1563- `settings`
1564
1565To override configuration for a language server, add an entry for that language server's name to the `lsp` value.
1566
1567Some 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.
1568
1569For example to pass the `check` option to `rust-analyzer`, use the following configuration:
1570
1571```json [settings]
1572"lsp": {
1573  "rust-analyzer": {
1574    "initialization_options": {
1575      "check": {
1576        "command": "clippy" // rust-analyzer.check.command (default: "check")
1577      }
1578    }
1579  }
1580}
1581```
1582
1583While other options may be changed at a runtime and should be placed under `settings`:
1584
1585```json [settings]
1586"lsp": {
1587  "yaml-language-server": {
1588    "settings": {
1589      "yaml": {
1590        "keyOrdering": true // Enforces alphabetical ordering of keys in maps
1591      }
1592    }
1593  }
1594}
1595```
1596
1597## Global LSP Settings
1598
1599- Description: Configuration for global LSP settings that apply to all language servers
1600- Setting: `global_lsp_settings`
1601- Default:
1602
1603```json [settings]
1604{
1605  "global_lsp_settings": {
1606    "button": true,
1607    "request_timeout": 120,
1608    "notifications": {
1609      // Timeout in milliseconds for automatically dismissing language server notifications.
1610      // Set to 0 to disable auto-dismiss.
1611      "dismiss_timeout_ms": 5000
1612    }
1613  }
1614}
1615```
1616
1617**Options**
1618
1619- `button`: Whether to show the LSP status button in the status bar
1620- `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`
1621- `notifications`: Notification-related settings.
1622  - `dismiss_timeout_ms`: Timeout in milliseconds for automatically dismissing language server notifications. Set to 0 to disable auto-dismiss.
1623
1624## LSP Highlight Debounce
1625
1626- Description: The debounce delay in milliseconds before querying highlights from the language server based on the current cursor location.
1627- Setting: `lsp_highlight_debounce`
1628- Default: `75`
1629
1630**Options**
1631
1632`integer` values representing milliseconds
1633
1634## Features
1635
1636- Description: Features that can be globally enabled or disabled
1637- Setting: `features`
1638- Default:
1639
1640```json [settings]
1641{
1642  "features": {
1643    "edit_prediction_provider": "zed"
1644  }
1645}
1646```
1647
1648### Edit Prediction Provider
1649
1650- Description: Which edit prediction provider to use
1651- Setting: `edit_prediction_provider`
1652- Default: `"zed"`
1653
1654**Options**
1655
16561. Use Zeta as the edit prediction provider:
1657
1658```json [settings]
1659{
1660  "features": {
1661    "edit_prediction_provider": "zed"
1662  }
1663}
1664```
1665
16662. Use Copilot as the edit prediction provider:
1667
1668```json [settings]
1669{
1670  "features": {
1671    "edit_prediction_provider": "copilot"
1672  }
1673}
1674```
1675
16763. Use Supermaven as the edit prediction provider:
1677
1678```json [settings]
1679{
1680  "features": {
1681    "edit_prediction_provider": "supermaven"
1682  }
1683}
1684```
1685
16864. Turn off edit predictions across all providers
1687
1688```json [settings]
1689{
1690  "features": {
1691    "edit_prediction_provider": "none"
1692  }
1693}
1694```
1695
1696## Format On Save
1697
1698- Description: Whether or not to perform a buffer format before saving.
1699- Setting: `format_on_save`
1700- Default: `on`
1701
1702**Options**
1703
17041. `on`, enables format on save obeying `formatter` setting:
1705
1706```json [settings]
1707{
1708  "format_on_save": "on"
1709}
1710```
1711
17122. `off`, disables format on save:
1713
1714```json [settings]
1715{
1716  "format_on_save": "off"
1717}
1718```
1719
1720## Formatter
1721
1722- Description: How to perform a buffer format.
1723- Setting: `formatter`
1724- Default: `auto`
1725
1726**Options**
1727
17281. To use the current language server, use `"language_server"`:
1729
1730```json [settings]
1731{
1732  "formatter": "language_server"
1733}
1734```
1735
17362. 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):
1737
1738```json [settings]
1739{
1740  "formatter": {
1741    "external": {
1742      "command": "sed",
1743      "arguments": ["-e", "s/ *$//"]
1744    }
1745  }
1746}
1747```
1748
17493. External formatters may optionally include a `{buffer_path}` placeholder which at runtime will include the path of the buffer being formatted. Formatters operate by receiving file content via standard input, reformatting it and then outputting it to standard output and so normally don't know the filename of what they are formatting. Tools like Prettier support receiving the file path via a command line argument which can then used to impact formatting decisions.
1750
1751WARNING: `{buffer_path}` should not be used to direct your formatter to read from a filename. Your formatter should only read from standard input and should not read or write files directly.
1752
1753```json [settings]
1754  "formatter": {
1755    "external": {
1756      "command": "prettier",
1757      "arguments": ["--stdin-filepath", "{buffer_path}"]
1758    }
1759  }
1760```
1761
17624. Or to use code actions provided by the connected language servers, use `"code_actions"`:
1763
1764```json [settings]
1765{
1766  "formatter": [
1767    // Use ESLint's --fix:
1768    { "code_action": "source.fixAll.eslint" },
1769    // Organize imports on save:
1770    { "code_action": "source.organizeImports" }
1771  ]
1772}
1773```
1774
17755. Or to use multiple formatters consecutively, use an array of formatters:
1776
1777```json [settings]
1778{
1779  "formatter": [
1780    { "language_server": { "name": "rust-analyzer" } },
1781    {
1782      "external": {
1783        "command": "sed",
1784        "arguments": ["-e", "s/ *$//"]
1785      }
1786    }
1787  ]
1788}
1789```
1790
1791Here `rust-analyzer` will be used first to format the code, followed by a call of sed.
1792If any of the formatters fails, the subsequent ones will still be executed.
1793
1794## Auto close
1795
1796- Description: Whether to automatically add matching closing characters when typing opening parenthesis, bracket, brace, single or double quote characters.
1797- Setting: `use_autoclose`
1798- Default: `true`
1799
1800**Options**
1801
1802`boolean` values
1803
1804## Always Treat Brackets As Autoclosed
1805
1806- Description: Controls how the editor handles the autoclosed characters.
1807- Setting: `always_treat_brackets_as_autoclosed`
1808- Default: `false`
1809
1810**Options**
1811
1812`boolean` values
1813
1814**Example**
1815
1816If the setting is set to `true`:
1817
18181. Enter in the editor: `)))`
18192. Move the cursor to the start: `^)))`
18203. Enter again: `)))`
1821
1822The result is still `)))` and not `))))))`, which is what it would be by default.
1823
1824## File Scan Exclusions
1825
1826- Setting: `file_scan_exclusions`
1827- 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`.
1828- Default:
1829
1830```json [settings]
1831"file_scan_exclusions": [
1832  "**/.git",
1833  "**/.svn",
1834  "**/.hg",
1835  "**/.jj",
1836  "**/CVS",
1837  "**/.DS_Store",
1838  "**/Thumbs.db",
1839  "**/.classpath",
1840  "**/.settings"
1841],
1842```
1843
1844Note, 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.
1845
1846## File Scan Inclusions
1847
1848- Setting: `file_scan_inclusions`
1849- 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.
1850- Default:
1851
1852```json [settings]
1853"file_scan_inclusions": [".env*"],
1854```
1855
1856## File Types
1857
1858- Setting: `file_types`
1859- Description: Configure how Zed selects a language for a file based on its filename or extension. Supports glob entries.
1860- Default:
1861
1862```json [settings]
1863"file_types": {
1864  "JSONC": ["**/.zed/**/*.json", "**/zed/**/*.json", "**/Zed/**/*.json", "**/.vscode/**/*.json"],
1865  "Shell Script": [".env.*"]
1866}
1867```
1868
1869**Examples**
1870
1871To interpret all `.c` files as C++, files called `MyLockFile` as TOML and files starting with `Dockerfile` as Dockerfile:
1872
1873```json [settings]
1874{
1875  "file_types": {
1876    "C++": ["c"],
1877    "TOML": ["MyLockFile"],
1878    "Dockerfile": ["Dockerfile*"]

2763The proxy setting must contain a URL to the proxy.
2764
2765The following URI schemes are supported:
2766
2767- `http`
2768- `https`
2769- `socks4` - SOCKS4 proxy with local DNS
2770- `socks4a` - SOCKS4 proxy with remote DNS
2771- `socks5` - SOCKS5 proxy with local DNS
2772- `socks5h` - SOCKS5 proxy with remote DNS
2773
2774`http` will be used when no scheme is specified.
2775
2776By 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`.
2777
2778For example, to set an `http` proxy, add the following to your settings:
2779
2780```json [settings]
2781{
2782  "proxy": "http://127.0.0.1:10809"
2783}
2784```
2785
2786Or to set a `socks5` proxy:
2787
2788```json [settings]
2789{
2790  "proxy": "socks5h://localhost:10808"
2791}
2792```
2793
2794If 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.
