AI Command Suggestions

Press Ctrl+Space and type naturally:

You: "find all files larger than 100MB"
Warp: find . -type f -size +100M

You: "compress this directory excluding node_modules"
Warp: tar -czf archive.tar.gz --exclude=node_modules .

You: "show disk usage sorted by size"
Warp: du -sh * | sort -rh | head -20

Block-Based Output

Every command and its output is a discrete block:

  • Click to select entire output
  • Copy output without re-running
  • Collapse old output
  • Share specific blocks

The input area works like a code editor:

  • Multi-line editing (no backslash line continuation)

# deploy.warp

steps:
  - command: git pull origin main
  - command: npm run build
  - command: npm run test
    on_failure: abort
  - command: npm run deploy
  - command: echo "Deployed successfully!"

Share via link — teammates run with one click.
