Zed 1.12.0

Zed 1.12.0 has been released, bringing a substantial set of improvements to the high-performance multiplayer code editor. The July 23 update focuses heavily on Git workflow enhancements, smarter file navigation, and AI integration polish.

What Changed

This week's release adds Staged and Unstaged grouping in the Git Panel, multi-select in the File Finder and Text Finder, and row filtering in CSV previews. For teams using Zed's collaborative features, the Git Panel overhaul alone makes this a worthwhile upgrade.

Git Panel Overhaul

The Git Panel now offers a Staging grouping option with separate Staged and Unstaged sections, alongside controls for staging or unstaging individual changes. Restore and Restore All buttons have been added to the unstaged diff view for discarding unstaged changes. The History tab gains a Git Graph context menu, and tags now appear in Git blame tooltips.

Several Git-related bugs were also squashed: the GPG signing passphrase prompt no longer appears on every commit when gpg-agent has the passphrase cached, the branch picker menu no longer fails due to nested popovers, and trashing untracked files from the Git Panel now works properly on Windows.

File Navigation Multi-Select

One of the most visible changes is multi-select support in the File Finder and Text Finder. Users can cmd-click (macOS) or ctrl-click (Linux/Windows) to select multiple items, or use the tab key. Pressing enter opens them all at once. Discoverability is improved with a multi-select button in the search bar, a cmd-shift-s shortcut, and selection checkboxes.

AI and Agent Enhancements

Zed's AI features get several upgrades. ACP elicitations are now enabled by default, allowing agents to collect structured user input. Adaptive thinking is supported for custom Anthropic models via configuration. New GPT-5.6 models (Luna, Terra, Sol) and Grok 4.5 have been added to OpenCode Zen and the Amazon Bedrock provider. Agent notifications now request OS-level attention for the corresponding Zed window.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the Agent's edit_file tool corrupting indentation on replacements
• Fixed agents hanging when an LSP server did not respond to diagnostics
• Fixed typescript-language-server breaking after the TypeScript 7 release
• Fixed a rare macOS crash when closing, resizing, or switching windows
• Fixed copy and paste breaking on Wayland after many IME commits
• Fixed terminal flickering when using the alternate screen
• Fixed drag-and-drop worktree reordering

Zed 1.12.0 is available now for macOS, Linux, and Windows. Update through the built-in auto-updater or download from zed.dev.
