Modern Text Editing

Unlike other terminals, Warp’s input editor operates out of the box like a modern IDE and the text editors we’re used to.

Soft Wrapping

Warp supports soft wrapping in the input editor. If an autosuggestion goes off-screen, the input editor will be horizontally scrollable to make it visible. Some operations treat soft-wrapped lines like a logical line (TRIPLE-CLICK) while other operations treat soft wrapped lines like visible different lines (UP/DOWN, SHIFT-UP/SHIFT-DOWN).

Copy on Select

Warp supports copy on select for selectable text within Blocks.

  • Toggle this feature Settings > Features > General or search for "Copy on select" in the Command Palette.

Autocomplete Quotes, Parentheses, and Brackets

Warp can automatically complete quotes, brackets, and parentheses like you're used to in IDEs.

  • Toggle this feature Settings > Features > Editor or search for "Autocomplete quotes" in the Command Palette.
