• Ctrl-W & Ctrl-Shift-W don't extend/shrink selection ;
• Shift-Enter while searching in file doesn't jump to the previous occurence ;

• Ctrl-Z directly undoes the last edit instead of first just moving the cursor to the last edited position when not already there.

Thanks

1. Ctrl-W & Ctrl-Shift-W don't extend/shrink selection

I just tested and these work as expected on Linux. (macOS uses alternate shortcuts)

zed/assets/keymaps/linux/jetbrains.json

Lines 36 to 37 in dab0b35

	"ctrl-w": "editor::SelectLargerSyntaxNode",
	"ctrl-shift-w": "editor::SelectSmallerSyntaxNode",

zed/assets/keymaps/macos/jetbrains.json

Lines 35 to 36 in 275d6ea

	"alt-up": "editor::SelectLargerSyntaxNode",
	"alt-down": "editor::SelectSmallerSyntaxNode",

2. Shift-Enter while searching in file doesn't jump to the previous occurrence:

This works for me on macOS (prior to my changes) and on Linux (after my changes)

zed/assets/keymaps/linux/jetbrains.json

Lines 76 to 78 in dab0b35

	"context": "BufferSearchBar || ProjectSearchBar",
	"bindings": {
	"shift-enter": "search::SelectPreviousMatch",

Ctrl-Z directly undoes the last edit instead of first just moving the cursor to the last edited position when not already there.

Totally valid.

I am on Zed Preview 0.196.5 fab9da0 and this doesn't work for me. I installed it via the official installer script on Fedora. Using GNOME. Hitting shift+enter inserts a newline character instead:

Screencast.From.2025-07-23.10-59-53.mp4

Note that this is searching the "Default key map". I noticed that even though I have the Jetbrains keymap selected as the base, it is still showing me the default Linux keymap here. Is there a way to see the current effective keymap?

Also, this one is tripping me up constantly:

zed/assets/keymaps/linux/jetbrains.json

Line 47 in 11ac83f

// "ctrl-b": "editor::GoToDefinition", // Conflicts with workspace::ToggleLeftDock

My muscle memory is so wired to using ctrl+b that I keep toggling the panel haha. F12 is so far away, I don't even know how people use that for Go To Definition.
