Import additional settings

After importing your iTerm2 profile and choosing your prompt, you might have additional settings from iTerm2 that you would like to configure. For example:

  • Customizing your dedicated hotkey window, allowing you to customize your windows relative to your active screen size.

  • Dividing and organizing tabs into multiple panels or terminal sessions.

  • Setting up your keyboard shortcuts and completion suggestions.

You can find more information on these behavior settings in our Quickstart guide.

Next, you can choose your and decide whether or not to inherit your existing prompt configuration. There are two prompt options:

: This is Warp's native prompt that you can customize to meet your needs. In Settings > Appearance > Prompt, you can drag and drop context chips into your Warp prompt to display specific information, like git branches or timestamps.

: This custom prompt inherits your pre-existing prompt configuration. Select this option if you want your Warp prompt to match your settings from iTerm2.
