Key bindings

Zed can be configured via a simple JSON file located at ~/.config/zed/keymap.json.

Predefined keymaps

We have a growing collection of pre-defined keymaps in our keymaps repository.

Custom key bindings

Accessing custom key bindings

You can open keymap.json via CMD + K, CMD + S, the command palette, or the Zed > Settings > Open Key Bindings application menu item.

Adding a custom key binding

To customize key bindings, specify a context and the list of bindings to set. Re-mapping an existing binding will clobber the existing binding in favor of the custom one.
An example of adding a set of custom key bindings:
[
{
"context": "Editor",
"bindings": {
"ctrl-w": "editor::SelectLargerSyntaxNode",
"ctrl-shift-W": "editor::SelectSmallerSyntaxNode",
"ctrl-c": "editor::Cancel"
}
}
]
You can see more examples in Zed's default.json​
There are some key bindings that can't be overridden; we are working on an issue surrounding this.

All key bindings
