Tabs

What is it

The Tabs feature allows you to organize a window into multiple terminal sessions. Tabs can be customized with a title and/or an ANSI color to help identify them. Note: New Tabs will default to the active Tabs’ current working directory and the actual color values will be automatically derived from your Warp theme.

How to use it

• Open a new Tab with CMD-T or by clicking on the + in the top bar.

• Close the current Tab with CMD-W or by clicking on the x on hover over a Tab.

• Activate the Previous or Next Tab with SHIFT-CMD-{ or SHIFT-CMD-}.

• Move a Tab to the Left or Right with CTRL-SHIFT-LEFT or CTRL-SHIFT-LEFT.

• Right-clicking on a Tab reveals more options, like ‘Rename Tab’ and the color picker, or explore even more Tab actions within the Command Palette CMD-P

Terminal Tip Using your .zshrc or .bashrc files, you can set a new Tab name:

# Set name, where MyTabName would be whatever you want to see in the Tab ( either a fixed string, $PWD, or something else )
function set_name () {​echo -ne "\033]0;MyTabName\007" }
# Add the function to the environment variable in either Zsh or Bash
if [ -n "$ZSH_VERSION" ]; then
  precmd_functions+=(set_name)
elif [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
  PROMPT_COMMAND='set_name'
fi
