Block Basics

The basics of creating, selecting, and navigating between Blocks.

The Basics

  • Blocks group your command and command output
  • The Input Editor is fixed to the bottom.
  • Blocks grow from bottom to the top.
  • Blocks are color-coded. Blocks that quit with a non-zero exit code have a red background and red sidebar.\
    Try it yourself! Type xyz (or some other command that doesn’t exist) and hit ENTER

Create A Block

  1. 1.
    Execute a command (type ls and hit ENTER) in the Input Editor at the bottom of the screen.
  2. 2.
    Your command and output is grouped into a Block.
  3. 3.
    Try executing a different command (type echo hello and hit enter).
  4. 4.
    Warp adds your newly created Block to the bottom (directly above the input editor).
Create a Block

Select a Single Block

  • Using your mouse: click on a Block.
  • Or using your keyboard: hit CMD-UP to select the most recently executed Block and use the UP ↑ and DOWN ↓ arrow keys to navigate to the desired Block.
Select a Single Block

Select Multiple Blocks

  • Click another Block while holding CMD to toggle the selection of that Block, or
  • Click another Block while holding SHIFT to select a range of Block, or
  • Use SHIFT-UP ↑ or SHIFT-DOWN ↓ to expand the active selection (the Block with the thicker border) up or down, respectively.
Select Multiple Blocks
  • Either scroll using your mouse or the scrollbar, or
  • Select a Block and use the UP ↑ and DOWN ↓ arrow keys.
Navigate between Blocks
When the output of a command is cut-off, Warp creates a “snack bar” that displays the command the Block corresponds to. Clicking the "snack bar" will scroll the screen to the start of the Block.
