gpui picks a prompt button's role by matching the English word -- "cancel" becomes a cancel answer, anything else becomes a plain Other that answers neither Escape nor Return. `confirm_answers` exists to say which is which instead, and sixteen of the app's dialogs use it. The two SCM confirmations built their answers by hand from localized strings, so `t(Cancel)` came out as a real cancel answer in English and as an Other in Chinese and Japanese: discard, reset and amend -- the dialogs guarding the operations that lose work -- had nothing on Escape for those users. They also passed Cancel as answer 0, which gpui draws rightmost and gives Return, so the position that means "do it" everywhere else in the app meant "don't" here. Both now go through the helper, with the index check flipped to Ok(0) to match. The single-button restart-failed dialog had the same problem from the other side: t(Ok) is "确定" in Chinese, so its only button was not an Ok button either. Add a test for the underlying rule rather than the three call sites: it pins that a localized cancel label does not become a cancel answer on its own, and says so in the failure message if gpui ever starts reading roles another way. app.rs's server-mismatch prompt still builds its answers by hand, and stays that way -- it is documented as having no safe answer to give Escape to.
tty7
A terminal workbench: persistent sessions, remote work, agents.
Pure Rust · GPU rendering on Zed's gpui · VT core from Alacritty
English · 简体中文
Why
- Performance — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty (benchmarks)
- Persistent sessions — quit or reboot; your shells and supported agent sessions keep running, no tmux
- Editor-grade input — suggestions, completion, highlighting, history search
- Remote development — files, repos, panes, and git data stay on the remote machine
- Native SSH — profiles, SFTP, port forwarding, and jump hosts
- Agent-aware — Claude Code, Codex & co.: status, notifications, git context
- CLI + Skills — agents create panes, run commands, and inspect output
