I've been loving Warp since discovering it on HN a few months back. I was originally drawn in by how it treats text input like a regular text input field out of the box, so I don't have to configure anything and my normal text editing shortcuts just work.
But the other features of it have been really great too. I like the terminal splitting, the history searching, the command palette, and no performance issues I've noticed either. It's made my terminal a joy to use for once. Keep up the great work!
- NoraCodes 5y agoFor what it's worth, if the keybindings you want are Vim or Emacs-like, you can get this behavior in Bash or Zsh (or probably other terminals) with literally one line of configuration.
- hbn 5y agoI want it to behave like every other text input field on my Mac. So I can do option+left/right to jump words, Cmd+left/right to jump to beginning/end of a line, shift + move cursor to highlight text, Cmd+A to select all, option + forward delete to delete the whole word in front of my cursor, etc
- alex_smart 5y agoThe emacs-like keybindings are default for bash (and probably zsh too). So you need zero lines of configuration, just the awareness that they exist.
- zhengt 5y agoWarp engineer here - Thanks for being an early user! While folks have mentioned here that shells have powerful line editing capabilities, I've found that a lot of people miss this. We want to allow a broader set of people to be productive in the terminal. And FWIW, a lot of developers - with varying amounts of experience - have resonated with the text input. Personally, I'm a heavy vim user and I've never gotten particularly comfortable using the shell's line editor.
