editor: Add horizontal scrollbar (#19495)
![editor_scrollbars](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/76c26776-8fe4-47f8-9c79-9add7d7d2151)

Closes #4427 

Release Notes:

- Added a horizontal scrollbar to the editor panel
- Added `axis` option to `scrollbar` in the Zed configuration, which can
forcefully disable either the horizontal or vertical scrollbar
- Added `horizontal_scroll_margin` equivalent to
`vertical_scroll_margin` in the Zed configuration

Rough Edges:

This feature seems mostly stable from my testing. I've been using a
development build for about a week with no issues. Any feedback would be
appreciated. There are a few things to note as well:

1. Scrolling to the lower right occasionally causes scrollbar clipping
on my end, but it isn't consistent and it isn't major. Some more testing
would definitely be a good idea. [FIXED]
2. Documentation may need to be modified
3. I added an `AxisPair` type to the `editor` crate to manage values
that have a horizontal and vertical variant. I'm not sure if that's the
optimal way to do it, but I didn't see a good alternative. The `Point`
type would technically work, but it may cause confusion.

Zed Docs

Welcome to Zed's documentation.

This is built on push to main and published automatically to https://zed.dev/docs.

To preview the docs locally you will need to install mdBook (cargo install mdbook) and then run:

mdbook serve docs

Preprocessor

We have a custom mdbook preprocessor for interfacing with our crates (crates/docs_preprocessor).

If for some reason you need to bypass the docs preprocessor, you can comment out [preprocessor.zed_docs_preprocessor] from the book.toml.:

Images and videos

To add images or videos to the docs, upload them to another location (e.g., zed.dev, GitHub's asset storage) and then link out to them from the docs.

Putting binary assets such as images in the Git repository will bloat the repository size over time.

Internal notes:

  • We have a Cloudflare router called docs-proxy that intercepts requests to zed.dev/docs and forwards them to the "docs" Cloudflare Pages project.
  • CI uploads a new version to the Pages project from .github/workflows/deploy_docs.yml on every push to main.

Table of Contents

The table of contents files (theme/page-toc.js and theme/page-doc.css) were initially generated by mdbook-pagetoc.

Since all this preprocessor does does is generate the static assets, we don't need to keep it around once they have been generated.

Referencing Keybindings and Actions

When referencing keybindings or actions, use the following formats:

Keybindings:

{#kb scope::Action} - e.g., {#kb zed::OpenSettings}.

This will output a code element like: <code>Cmd+,|Ctrl+,</code>. We then use a client-side plugin to show the actual keybinding based on the user's platform.

By using the action name, we can ensure that the keybinding is always up-to-date rather than hardcoding the keybinding.

Actions:

{#action scope::Action} - e.g., {#action zed::OpenSettings}.

This will render a human-readable version of the action name, e.g., "zed: open settings", and will allow us to implement things like additional context on hover, etc.

Creating New Templates

New templates can be created by implementing the Template trait for your desired template in the docs_preprocessor crate.
