Run Vim, Emacs, and other full-screen apps with configurable mouse reporting and padding.

Warp supports configuring how to handle mouse and scroll events. They can be sent to the currently running app, e.g. vim, or kept and handled by Warp.

Once mouse reporting is enabled, Warp will use ANSI escape sequences to communicate mouse events to the running app.

  • From the Settings panel, Settings > Features > Terminal > Enable Mouse Reporting
    • Scroll Reporting can be enabled after toggling Enable Mouse Reporting
  • From the Command Palette, search for “Toggle Mouse Reporting”
  • From the macOS Menu, View > Toggle Mouse Reporting

Warp supports configuring how much padding surrounds full-screen apps. The default is 0 pixel padding, but this can be changed to a custom padding amount or to match the padding in the Blocklist.

  • Go to Settings > Appearance > Full-screen Apps or from the Command Palette search for “Appearance”
    • Use custom padding in alt-screen is enabled by default, you can disable it to match the Blocklist padding
      • Set the desired uniform padding (px) pixels, which is set to 0px by default
