Block Basics

The basics of creating, selecting, and navigating between Blocks.

The Basics

• Blocks group your command and command output

• The Input Editor is fixed to the bottom.

• Blocks grow from bottom to the top.

• Blocks are color-coded. Blocks that quit with a non-zero exit code have a red background and red sidebar.\

  Try it yourself! Type xyz (or some other command that doesn’t exist) and hit ENTER

Create A Block

1. Execute a command (type ls and hit ENTER) in the Input Editor at the bottom of the screen.

2. Your command and output is grouped into a Block.

3. Try executing a different command (type echo hello and hit enter).

4. Warp adds your newly created Block to the bottom (directly above the input editor).

Create a Block

Select a Single Block

• Using your mouse: click on a Block.

• Or using your keyboard: hit CMD-UP to select the most recently executed Block and use the UP ↑ and DOWN ↓ arrow keys to navigate to the desired Block.

Select a Single Block

Select Multiple Blocks

• Click another Block while holding CMD to toggle the selection of that Block, or

• Click another Block while holding SHIFT to select a range of Block, or

• Use SHIFT-UP ↑ or SHIFT-DOWN ↓ to expand the active selection (the Block with the thicker border) up or down, respectively.

Select Multiple Blocks

Navigate Between Blocks

• Either scroll using your mouse or the scrollbar, or

• Select a Block and use the UP ↑ and DOWN ↓ arrow keys.

Navigate between Blocks

When the output of a command is cut-off, Warp creates a “snack bar” that displays the command the Block corresponds to. Clicking the "snack bar" will scroll the screen to the start of the Block.
