Threads sidebar UX improvements - reordering, renaming projects

[joepio]

What are you proposing?

Change the UX of the projects in the sidebar:

1. Allow users to reorder projects, preferably by dragging and dropping
2. Click to focus a project (next to toggle to hide/show threads)
3. Add context menu option to rename projects

Why does this matter?

The new threads sidebar has radically changed my Zed workflow. Earlier, I used multiple tabs to switch between projects, but that was a bit cumbersome as it didn't help me track my various agents and it looked cluttered. The new threads sidebar is much more intuitive and powerful.

But it has some issues:

• Some projects / folders have names like frontend. Or when opening an ssh project, it shows up as username instead of folder name In the sidebar, these can be quite confusing.
• When a project has no threads, i can't switch to it by clicking on it. So i have to awkwardly press the + button, even if I don't actually want to create a new thread.
• I have a lot of projects (10+), and it sometimes takes a while for me to find the one I'm looking for in the sidebar. I think

Are there any examples or context?

1. The action to reorder projects was merged yesterday in sidebar: Add ability to move projects up and down #57448 with a mention of finishing the drag-drop part soon.
2. You can command-click on a project to focus it.
3. There was a user-submitted pr from today (Rename agent threads from the sidebar #57521) We will see if it's implemented well enough

Hey jon, thanks! Incredible how much activity there is here.

I also submitted a PR that covers my wishes, including the drag-drop part and persistent project renaming.

#57538

I would really love rename... its hard to remember what the session is about by just a few words

Thread renaming and project reordering in the sidebar have shipped in Zed Stable v1.5.3!

You can now rename threads directly from the sidebar, and reorder projects up and down via the sidebar's ellipsis menu. We don't have drag and drop support yet, but it makes sense to add that.

Also, you can change project focus by cmd-clicking on the project headers.

I'm going to close this out since most of what was asked is supported, but please feel free to open another discussion to request any remaining bits.
