Describe the solution you'd like?

I noticed that quick move of a cursor does not work if I enter a docker container. When I do docker exec -it ... bash cmd + arrow (and option + arrow) combination stops working.

Docker

From @smores via #379

I'd like to add to this a bit:

It would be lovely if docker exec could get the same treatment as ssh. I do the vast majority of my development within docker containers, which means most of my terminal usage is within docker containers (mostly via VS Code Development Containers). It would be really awesome to be able to use Warp for that! But right now, it falls back to a somewhat rough basic terminal emulation instead, with broken up and down arrow keys (they navigate Warp Blocks instead of bash/zsh history) as @elviskahoro mentioned

[MunsMan]

Unsure how to understand this Discussion, but are there any updates about a docker exec? I would love this feature and are willing to support if needed.

Support pgcli

psql: can not move the caret with cmd key

From @oguzhantopcu via #586

Describe the bug

i can not move my caret with [command] key on "psql", "git add -i" CLI's.

*psql is postgresql's official cli.

it makes psql pretty unusable.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce:

1.) run psql.
2.) type "something"
3.) press [command]+[left]

caret won't move to the left side of the word, instead it types [space].

Expected behaviour

caret should move to the left side of the word

Support nu shell?

From @WindSoilder via #613

Describe the solution you'd like?

As title, I wonder if nu shell(https://github.com/nushell/nushell) can be supported?

Warp + NuShell would be an excellent combo for modern day

[MitchyCola]

I tried Warp with nushell on a whim, the blocks do not work. Would love nushell support.

[evelant]

Warp looks cool but I'm all in on nushell. I just can't go back to the tangled mess of syntax and quirks that is old shells.

Have been using warp for a while, pretty cool product you have developed.
Are there any plans to support REPLs ? Particularly Julia which would greatly benefit from such a product since it has a heavily REPL based development. I will bring "warp" up in the community(better yet you can post in their discourse), they are probably more than willing to help.

From taranlu-houzz via #858

Describe the solution you'd like?

It would be great to also have support for `xonsh` shell: https://xon.sh/

I primarily use `fish`, but often dip into `xonsh` to work on specific problems interactively with Python. It would be nice to have first class support, so that commands show up in blocks, etc.

I use tcsh as my login shell and I'd love to see it supported by Warp in addition to Bash, Zsh, and Fish.

Generic shell API

This can be done by using shell integration . Most of the modern terminanls follow the iTerm's OSC tokens for marking the boundaries.

What I really love to see is the autocompletion support from shell as well as user defined code. Something like https://github.com/withfig/autocomplete

[darthwalsh]

To add support for another shell (i.e. I'd like pwsh from #880) is there a protocol spec for how Warp Terminal communicates with the shell? I don't know what preexec is (mentioned on https://www.warp.dev/faq) but I guess that's part of the protocol.

[jtsalva]

+1 would like to see pwsh support

[sgiddings-kunzleigh]

I would absolutely love PowerShell support as well as support for Nushell. But as I work most of my day inside of Azure and Microsoft 365, it would be awesome to have the same Zsh style of support for PowerShell.

[warpdotdev-devx]

We don't have an API or endpoint yet for this.

Isn't the concept of "Device Control Strings" itself an API? Why can't shells that want to support Warp blocks just have an option to emit DCSes?

[OmerFlame]

It would be a crazy improvement in everyone's productivity if you guys add xonsh support, it's a shell that can uses Python scripts instead of shell with its own custom interpreter for adding shell-like functionality. This sounds like a crazy good idea and I would absolutely love to see support for it in Warp!

[dertuxmalwieder]

I would love to have an easy way to write my own shell glue code. I tend to use rather obscure shells like rc and I wouldn't expect the Warp team to know and support all of them.
