Some more thoughts: I've tried it a bunch, and my big issue with Warp is it just throws away a bunch of the more obscure/advanced shell features and pretends like they were never there. The sheer inelegance of it just pains me. Like if Warp wants to destroy my custom zsh keybindings, ok, but at least tell zsh that so they don't appear when I run `bindkey` to list them. Or at least pass along the key events to the shell when a shortcut is pressed that Warp doesn't already know about. Right now it just eats my custom bindings and does nothing with them.
Also my fzf history searching is also thrown away along with my keybindings to kill a line AND put it in the system pasteboard. (That's an awesome feature that Warp should just do) The other big one for me is completions. It's hard for me to imagine an expert terminal user that's never written their own completions, or if they have, is happy throwing them away.
I really like the idea of someone re-imagining the shell+terminal, but Warp is occupying this awkward middle ground between a terminal emulator and a shell. I wish it would either be a new shell with an integrated GUI interface, or be a terminal emulator that actually lets the shell do everything it knows how to do.
