Settings Deprecation Notice 2024-06-17

Beginning with Zed 0.141.x the following settings keys have been deprecated and will no longer function:

• language_overrides (alias for languages)
• show_copilot_suggestions (alias for show_inline_completions)
• copilot (alias for inline_completions)

If you are running a version of Zed (stable, preview or built from source) which is >= 0.135.x (2024-05-15) you can safely migrate your settings to the new names shown above now and will not be impacted by the deprecation.

After the 0.141.x release (ETA Wednesday 2024-06-26 for stable and 2024-06-19 for Preview) these settings keys will no longer function as expected.

Happily, the migration is simple: just rename any settings keys to their new names:

Old name	New name
language_overrides	languages
show_copilot_suggestions	show_inline_completions
copilot	inline_completions

The new values will work for all version of Zed >= 0.135.x (2024-05-15).

Note: this only applies to keys in your settings.json, not values. For example features.inline_completion_provider still supports the value "copilot" as a value.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will be using this as a learning experience for how to best handle settings deprecations in the future.
