    Zed adds BYOK support for GPT-6.1 Sol, on-the-fly model selection for subagents, automatic subagent compaction, a unified or split diff toggle, and dynamically fetched OpenCode models, alongside performance, sidebar, terminal, and bug fix improvements.

    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

    1.15.0

    Zed adds smarter Git diff controls, macOS and Wayland file dragging, and better JSX and TSX editing with linked custom elements and Emmet completions, while also shipping a broad round of fixes for Agent, remote projects, terminals, and editor stability.

    Breaking Changes and Notices

    • Changed the default base_keymap from VSCode to Zed. The VSCode base keymap is now a separate overlay that more closely matches VS Code's own keybindings, so anyone with base_keymap explicitly set to VSCode will see some bindings change, including the inline assistant moving to cmd-i (macOS) and ctrl-i (Linux/Windows), and f5 starting the debugger. (#61532)
    • Reverted recent changes to word navigation around punctuation because they caused regressions when navigating across structural punctuation such as brackets, quotes, and delimiters. (#62213)
