Context

The Zed editor from Zed Industries adds separate views for changes selected for the next commit and changes still outside that selection. Its v1.11.3 release notes describe reviewing, staging, unstaging or restoring individual blocks of changes within those views.

This gives developers a way to inspect and adjust the contents of a commit at a finer level than whole files. A file can contain several edits while only the selected blocks belong in the next commit.

Key takeaways · AI-distilled

Cmd/Ctrl-clicking a terminal link now works even when the running program captures the mouse, so links inside vim, opencode, and Claude are clickable. Set terminal.open_links_in_mouse_mode to false to forward those clicks to the app instead.
The Git Panel got faster by dropping a repository-access check that ran on every file change, and buffer diffs now spawn fewer git processes when the repo changes on disk.
Zed's support for ACP, the protocol for plugging external agents into the editor, now handles boolean toggles in session config and releases terminal memory once a tool call exits.

Key quotes

“This week's release includes dedicated Staged Changes and Unstaged Changes multibuffers where you can review, stage, unstage, or restore individual hunks; Git Graph improvements including configurable columns and full commit messages rendered as Markdown; and a preview pane in the project symbols picker.”

“Fixed MCP tools with `$ref`/`$defs` in their `inputSchema` being silently rejected by providers using the JSON Schema Subset format (Google Gemini, xAI Grok, OpenAI-compatible proxies, etc.).”

“Fixed file drag-and-drop into the terminal inserting double-quoted paths, which prevented tools like Claude Code from recognizing them as file references.”
