Key bindings

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.
