Zed 1.22.0

This week's release includes BYOK support for GPT-6.1 Sol, on-the-fly model selection for new subagents, automatic subagent compaction, a unified/split toggle for diffs opened from the command line, and dynamically fetched OpenCode models. Features AI

Added an optional model parameter to spawn_agent to choose a model for that spawn instead of using the configured subagent model or inheriting the parent model, with the active model shown in its card. (#64498; thanks itsfuad) Added BYOK support for GPT-6.1 Sol with an OpenAI API key. (#64968; thanks ktKongTong) Added Grok 4.7 to the SuperGrok and xAI providers and made it their recommended default. (#64567; thanks raphaelluethy) Added the agent.threads_sidebar.auto_open setting to control whether opening a folder in an existing window also opens the Threads Sidebar. (#64259, #64395; thanks jackhwalters and joshkent94) Added support for "..." in edit_predictions.disabled_globs and edit_predictions_disabled_in so settings can extend inherited edit prediction exclusions and scopes. (#64540, #64546; thanks porada) Enabled compaction for subagents. (#64135) Improved OpenCode model availability by fetching the Zen and Go model list dynamically instead of relying on one bundled with Zed. (#64585) Improved performance when resolving OpenCode models. (#64666) Improved Threads Sidebar sizing so changes to agent.threads_sidebar.default_width take effect even after manually resizing the sidebar. (#64395; thanks joshkent94) Hid deprecated OpenCode models. (#64666)

Git

Windows

Other

Added support for "..." in file_scan_inclusions and hidden_files so project settings can extend inherited inclusion and hidden-file patterns. (#64440, #64484; thanks porada) Added confirmation in the title bar when a manual update check found Zed was already up to date. (#64106; thanks tahayvr) Improved the pending keystrokes indicator with grouped bindings, a scrollable list, and support for chords without a timeout, such as shortcuts starting with cmd-k.

Breaking Changes and Notices

Removed Stop controls from external-agent-managed terminals, which are controlled by the agent rather than a local process. (#64544) Changed Threads Sidebar settings to agent.threads_sidebar.position, agent.threads_sidebar.default_width, and agent.threads_sidebar.auto_open, grouped together in the Settings Editor. Existing settings are migrated automatically. (#64395; thanks joshkent94) Changed the shortcut for closing the active dock from cmd-w (macOS) or ctrl-w (Linux/Windows) to ctrl-alt-w on all platforms. (#64515) Changed terminal.path_hyperlink_regexes so a top-level "..." entry now inserts inherited regexes. To retain the previous three-character regex, replace that entry with ["..."]. (#64552; thanks porada) Stopped importing VS Code’s files.watcherInclude as file_scan_inclusions; watch roots are not Git-ignore overrides. (#64440; thanks porada)
