Toggle it with `project_panel::ToggleFocus` (`project_panel::ToggleFocus`), or click the **Project Panel** button in the status bar. ![Project Panel](https://images.zed.dev/docs/project-panel/panel.png) ## Navigating Use the arrow keys to move through entries. `project_panel::ExpandSelectedEntry` expands a directory and `project_panel::CollapseSelectedEntry` collapses it. `project_panel::CollapseAllEntries` collapses every directory at once. `project_panel::ExpandAllEntries` expands every directory at once. Press `project_panel::Open` or click to preview a selected file, without giving it a permanent tab. Editing the file or double-clicking it promotes it to a permanent tab. Middle-clicking a file skips the preview and opens it in a permanent, focused tab right away. Set [`preview_tabs.enable_preview_from_project_panel`](https://funcoding.ai/agents/zed/reference/all-settings/#enable-preview-from-project-panel) to `false` to open permanent tabs with a single click or `project_panel::Open` (`project_panel::Open`). ### Auto-reveal By default, switching to a file in the editor will automatically highlight it in the project panel and scroll it into view. This [auto-reveal behavior](https://funcoding.ai/agents/zed/reference/all-settings/#auto-reveal-entries) can be disabled with the `project_panel.auto_reveal_entries` setting. ### Sticky Scroll When `project_panel.sticky_scroll` is enabled (the default), ancestor directories pin themselves to the top of the panel as you scroll, so you always know which directory you're on. ![Project Panel: Sticky Scroll Enabled](https://images.zed.dev/docs/project-panel/sticky-scroll-true.png) ![Project Panel: Sticky Scroll Disabled](https://images.zed.dev/docs/project-panel/sticky-scroll-false.png) ### Directory Folding When `project_panel.auto_fold_dirs` is enabled (the default), chains of directories that each contain a single child directory are collapsed into one row (for example, `src/utils/helpers` instead of three separate levels). Right-click a folded directory and choose **Unfold Directory** to expand the chain, or **Fold Directory** to collapse it again. ![Project Panel: Auto Fold Directories Enabled](https://images.zed.dev/docs/project-panel/auto-fold-dirs-true.png) ![Project Panel: Auto Fold Directories Disabled](https://images.zed.dev/docs/project-panel/auto-fold-dirs-false.png) ## Selecting Multiple Entries Hold `shift` while pressing the up/down arrow keys to mark additional entries. Most file operations, like cut, copy, trash, delete and drag, apply to the full set of marked entries. When exactly two files are marked, `project_panel::CompareMarkedFiles` (`project_panel::CompareMarkedFiles`) opens a diff view comparing them. ![Project Panel: Compare Marked Files](https://images.zed.dev/docs/project-panel/compare-marked-files.png) ## File Operations Right-click an entry to see the full list of available operations, or use the keybindings below. ### Creating Files and Directories - `project_panel::NewFile` (`project_panel::NewFile`) creates a new file inside the selected directory. - `project_panel::NewDirectory` (`project_panel::NewDirectory`) creates a new directory. An inline editor appears so you can type the name. Press `enter` to confirm or `escape` to cancel. ### Renaming Press `project_panel::Rename` to rename the selected entry. The filename stem is pre-selected so you can type a new name without accidentally changing the extension. Press `enter` to confirm or `escape` to cancel. ### Cut, Copy, and Paste - `project_panel::Cut` (`project_panel::Cut`) marks entries for moving. - `project_panel::Copy` (`project_panel::Copy`) marks entries for copying. - `project_panel::Paste` (`project_panel::Paste`) places them in the selected directory. When pasting would create a name conflict, Zed appends a "copy" suffix (e.g., `file copy.txt`, `file copy 2.txt`). If a single file is pasted with a generated suffix, the rename editor opens automatically so you can adjust the name. ### Duplicate `project_panel::Duplicate` (`project_panel::Duplicate`) copies and pastes the selected entries in one step. ### Trash and Delete - `project_panel::Trash` (`project_panel::Trash`) moves entries to the system trash. - `project_panel::Delete` (`project_panel::Delete`) permanently deletes entries. Both actions show a confirmation prompt listing the affected files. If any of the files have unsaved changes, the prompt warns you. ### Drag and Drop Drag entries within the panel to move them. Hold `alt` while dropping to copy instead of move. You can also drag files from your operating system's file manager into the project panel to copy them into the project. Drag and drop can be disabled with the `project_panel.drag_and_drop` setting. ## Git Integration When `project_panel.git_status` is enabled (the default), file and directory names are tinted to reflect their git status—modified, added, deleted, untracked, or conflicting. In projects that are not rooted at a git repository, status is shown only for [active repositories](https://funcoding.ai/agents/zed/git/#repository-activation). Setting `project_panel.git_status_indicator` to `true` (disabled by default) adds a letter badge next to each name: **M** (modified), **A** (added), **D** (deleted), **U** (untracked) or **!** (conflict). ![Project Panel: Git Integration](https://images.zed.dev/docs/project-panel/git-status.png) Use `project_panel::SelectNextGitEntry` and `project_panel::SelectPrevGitEntry` to jump between tracked files with uncommitted changes. The right-click menu also offers **Restore File** to discard changes and **View File History** to browse a file's commit log. ## Diagnostics The `project_panel.show_diagnostics` setting controls whether error and warning indicators appear on file and folder icons. Set it to `"all"` to see both errors and warnings, `"errors"` for errors only, or `"off"` to hide them. Diagnostics propagate upward—if a file deep in a directory has an error, its ancestor folders show an indicator too. Enable `project_panel.diagnostic_badges` (disabled by default) to display numeric error and warning counts next to each entry. Use `project_panel::SelectNextDiagnostic` and `project_panel::SelectPrevDiagnostic` to navigate between files that have diagnostics. See also [Diagnostics & Quick Fixes](https://funcoding.ai/agents/zed/diagnostics/) for editor and tab diagnostic settings. ## Filtering and Sorting ### Hiding Files - `project_panel.hide_gitignore` hides files matched by `.gitignore`. Toggle this with `project_panel::ToggleHideGitIgnore`. - `project_panel.hide_hidden` hides entries matching [`hidden_files`](https://funcoding.ai/agents/zed/reference/all-settings/#hidden-files) (dotfiles and dotfolders by default). Toggle with `project_panel::ToggleHideHidden`. ### Sorting The `project_panel.sort_mode` setting controls grouping: - `"directories_first"` (default) — directories appear before files at each level. - `"files_first"` — files appear before directories. - `"mixed"` — directories and files are sorted together. The `project_panel.sort_order` setting controls name comparison: - `"default"` — case-insensitive natural sort (`file2` before `file10`). - `"upper"` — uppercase names grouped first, then lowercase. - `"lower"` — lowercase names grouped first, then uppercase. - `"unicode"` — raw Unicode codepoint order with no case folding. ## Other Actions - `project_panel::RevealInFileManager` (`project_panel::RevealInFileManager`) reveals the selected entry in Finder / File Explorer. - `project_panel::NewSearchInDirectory` (`project_panel::NewSearchInDirectory`) opens a project search scoped to the selected directory. - `project_panel::RemoveFromProject` removes a workspace root folder from the project. ## Undo and Redo The Project Panel keeps a history of the file operations you perform through it, letting you undo (`project_panel::Undo` / `project_panel::Undo`) and redo (`project_panel::Redo` / `project_panel::Redo`) these operations, with support for local and remote projects. The following operations are tracked: - `project_panel::NewFile` - `project_panel::NewDirectory` - `project_panel::Rename` - `project_panel::Trash` - `project_panel::Paste` - `project_panel::Duplicate` Besides these actions, moving items within the panel using drag and drop, as well as dragging files into the panel from outside Zed, are also tracked. Undoing a move or rename (for example `project_panel::Rename`, a `project_panel::Cut` followed by paste, or a drag within the panel) returns the item to its original name or location. Undoing an operation that creates a file or directory (for example `project_panel::NewFile`, `project_panel::NewDirectory`, `project_panel::Duplicate`, a `project_panel::Copy` followed by paste, or a drag from outside Zed) moves the new item to your system trash rather than deleting it. This keeps it recoverable and lets redo restore it, but it also means you may notice these items appear in your trash. When you batch several of these together, for example, selecting multiple files and moving them to another folder, the whole batch is undone or redone as a single step, and a failure in one of the operations does not block the rest. ### Limitations - Undo and redo are not available when collaborating in a project shared by someone else. The same applies to `project_panel::Trash`, so when working as a guest in a shared project, files can only be permanently deleted, and file operations cannot be undone. - Operations whose result is a path excluded from the project via the `file_scan_exclusions` setting are not recorded. For example, with `**/*.secret` excluded, creating a file named `token.secret`, or renaming an existing file to `token.secret`, succeeds on disk, but the operation cannot be undone from the panel. - Permanently deleting an item (`project_panel::Delete`) is not tracked and cannot be undone. - Undoing a `project_panel::Trash` restores the item from your system's trash. If you empty the trash, the item can no longer be restored. - Undo and redo act on the current state of the filesystem. If something changed outside Zed, for example, a conflicting file now exists at the destination, or the item was moved or deleted by another program, the operation may no longer be undoable, and Zed will show a notification accordingly. - On remote hosts without system trash support, `project_panel::Trash` will fail when used, along with anything that relies on it, such as undoing a trash or undoing an operation that creates a file or directory. At the time of writing, Zed does not reliably detect trash support ahead of time, so the action is always available but may report an error. - The undo history is not persisted across sessions, so quitting Zed clears it.
