Zed 1.14.2

Release Date: August 5, 2026

⚡ New Release — Zed 1.14.2 is live, and this week's drop is a hefty one. The Agent gets sandboxed, the Git Panel gets a hook-skip, and the Project Panel finally learns undo.

🧊 Agent Sandboxing

The headline act: terminal commands and web fetches from the Agent now run sandboxed. Untrusted tool calls can't reach the rest of your system, which means letting the AI run a package install or curl a sketchy URL is suddenly a lot less terrifying.

  • Sandboxed terminal and fetch tools for the Agent
  • Reasoning effort selector for Anthropic-compatible providers with adaptive thinking
  • New agent.compaction_model setting to pick the model used for context compaction
  • Configurable Agent Panel fonts via agent_ui_font_family and agent_buffer_font_family

đŸ› ī¸ Git Goodies

A "Skip Hooks" toggle lands in the Commit button's menu — the next commit sails past pre-commit and commit-msg hooks. Also: the Git Panel is faster (fewer redundant repo checks), and deleted files now offer "Restore File" instead of the alarming "Discard Changes".

â†Šī¸ Project Panel Undo

File operations in the Project Panel can now be undone and redone. Dropped a file into the wrong folder? Undo. Renamed something by accident? Undo. The editor you live in all day just got a lot safer.

🚨 Breaking Builds

Heads up: the default base_keymap is now Zed, not VSCode. The VS Code keymap still exists as an overlay, but if you relied on the default, expect changes — the inline assistant moves to cmd-i / ctrl-i, and f5 starts the debugger. Also, the recent word-navigation tweaks were reverted after regressions around brackets and delimiters.

🐛 Bug Bashes

  • Fixed a hang when the Agent ran a git command with a pager configured
  • Fixed a crash when copying and pasting with multiple cursors
  • Fixed processes being left alive after the terminal was closed
  • Fixed the macOS window border not matching the theme on mixed light/dark setups
  • Fixed dropped frames when scrolling unfocused windows
  • Fixed the performance profiler deadlock — zed: open performance profiler works again

âŦ†ī¸ Upgrade at your own pace — but the sandboxing alone is worth the click. Grab 1.14.2 from the release page and let the Agent run wild (safely).
