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.
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).Warp supports copy on select in the Input editor or with any other selectable text in Blocks. Note: This feature has a known issue working within alt-screens like vim, less, k9s, etc.

Warps input will occasionally show hints within the input editor in light grey text that help users learn about features that are available. For example "Type
# for AI command suggestions". It's enabled by default.- Disable "Show Input hint text" in
