Search and replace text in Warp's code editor with regex, case sensitivity, and smart case preservation.

Warp’s code editor includes built-in find and replace with support for regex, case sensitivity, and smart case preservation. Search across a file, jump between matches, and replace text with automatic casing adjustments for PascalCase, camelCase, and hyphenated patterns.

Press CMD-F on macOS or CTRL-SHIFT-F on Windows and Linux to open the find menu. As you type, all matches in the file are highlighted, and the match closest to your cursor is selected.

  • Press ENTER or use the down arrow to jump to the next match
  • Press SHIFT-ENTER or use the up arrow to go to the previous match
  • Click “Select All” to highlight all matches and close the menu

You can toggle regex and case-sensitive search options directly in the query editor.

Click the dropdown to the left of the find menu to open the replace options.

  • Press Enter to replace the currently selected match
  • Use Replace All to replace all matches

Toggle Preserve Case to keep the original casing of replaced text. Case is preserved in text that contains PascalCase, camelCase, hyphens, and underscores. For example:

  • Replacing “old” with “new” will turn “Old” into “New” and “OLD” into “NEW”
  • Replacing “oldValue” with “NewValue” will result in “newValue”
  • Replacing “OldValue” with “newValue” will result in “NewValue”
  • Replacing “my-Old-VALUE” with “my-new-value” will result in “my-New-VALUE”
