We do not support PROMPT_COMMAND in Bash right now (working on this!).
When you SSH, we start a Bash shell on the remote host. We built a wrapper around SSH to make Warp features possible.
If your default shell is zsh, your aliases typically do not transfer over. Other shells are unsupported for now.
When you open a subshell (a shell within a shell), we do not set it up for Warp - instead it works like a normal terminal session.

SSH
To enable Blocks over SSH, Warp uses an SSH Wrapper function; navigate to settings > features if you need to disable it.
Note: You'll need to start a new session before a change is reflected) or try invoking the SSH binary directly: /usr/bin/ssh
Soft wrapping
Nov 2021: Warp does not currently support soft wrapping in the input editor. Press SHIFT-ENTER or use \ and ENTER to continue your command on the next line.
English-only UI
Nov 2021: We have added character support for Chinese, Korean, and Japanese, but our UI currently only supports English.
Fish shell read command
There is an issue in Fish shell version 3.4.0 and below that causes the read built-in command to break Warp's integration with Fish. This means that using read directly or any Fish scripts that call read will not work as expected in Warp. That issue is resolved in the Fish repository and so should be fixed in the next release of Fish itself.
Configuring and debugging your RC files
In order to support Blocks (custom hooks), a native Input Editor experience, etc. we have to build custom support for a subset of shell functionality (decouple functionality from the shell and move to the terminal). Unfortunately, this leads to Warp being incompatible with various tools and plugins e.g. Powerlevel10k.
You can however, disable the conflicting settings for just Warp using this flag: $TERM_PROGRAM != "WarpTerminal", see below for a full example.
Debugging
If Warp is not working with your dotfile configuration,
You can quickly set up clean configs by putting ZDOTDIR=/ in a ~/.zshenv file. This forces zsh to run with zero configs.
Zsh loads your configuration settings in this order:
$ZDOTDIR/.zshenv
$ZDOTDIR/.zprofile
$ZDOTDIR/.zshrc
$ZDOTDIR/.zlogin
$ZDOTDIR/.zlogout
If Warp starts working correctly then Warp is incompatible with something in the current dotfiles. We can isolate what is incompatible by iteratively disabling sections of our dotfiles with the WarpTerminal flag until we find the culprit. When you do find what's incompatible please let us know and we'll add it to the list below.
# Bash and Zsh
if [[ $TERM_PROGRAM != "WarpTerminal" ]]; then
##### WHAT YOU WANT TO DISABLE FOR WARP - BELOW
​
    # POWERLEVEL10K

##### WHAT YOU WANT TO DISABLE FOR WARP - ABOVE

# Fish
if test "$TERM_PROGRAM" != "WarpTerminal"
    # Existing bootstrap script here

Bash and Fig
A recent version of Fig (happens as of 1.0.56 - and may also happen on earlier versions) updated the bash rcfiles in a way that prevents Warp from bootstrapping.
In order to work around this, you can disable this logic for Warp. Note that you might have to do this for .bash_profile and .bashrc.
Also, Fig has a tendency to re-write these lines in these files when it updates - so you might have to do this multiple times if you are using Fig actively.
.bash_profile
# Fig post block. Keep at the bottom of this file.
if [[ $TERM_PROGRAM != "WarpTerminal" ]]; then
    . "$HOME/.fig/shell/bash_profile.post.bash"
fi
.bashrc
# Fig post block. Keep at the bottom of this file.
if [[ $TERM_PROGRAM != "WarpTerminal" ]]; then
    . "$HOME/.fig/shell/bashrc.post.bash"
fi
Fish and Fig
Some older installations of Fig (most notably prior to September 2021) include startup scripts that are incompatible with Warp's bootstrap process. As described above in Configuring and debugging your RC files, those scripts should be gated on a check of the TERM_PROGRAM environment variable. The two important files in this case are:
~/.config/fish/conf.d/00_fig_pre.fish
~/.config/fish/conf.d/99_fig_post.fish
