Modern Text Editing

What is it
Unlike other terminals, Warp’s input editor operates out-of-the-box like a modern IDE and the text editors we’re used to.
Text Editor Input also works for SSH sessions.
Soft Wrapping
Warp supports soft wrapping in the input editor. If there is an auto suggestion that goes off-screen, the input editor will be horizontally scrollable to make it visible. Note:" Some operations treat soft wrapped lines like a logical line (TRIPLE-CLICK, OPTION-LEFT / OPTION-RIGHT) while other operations treat soft wrapped lines like visible different lines (UP / DOWN, SHIFT-UP / SHIFT-DOWN).
Soft Wrapping
Copy on Select
Warp supports copy on select in the Input editor or with any other selectable text in Blocks. Simply enable this feature in Settings > Features > General. Note: This feature has a known issue working within alt-screens like vim, less, k9s, etc.
