Warp Is a Power User's Dream Terminal for Linux

Warp does have a bit of a learning curve, but once you get how it works, you will find it to be terminal nirvana.

    I feel like we have very different definitions on the word “terminal” and “power user”.

    None of the features feel like it belong to a terminal and I doubt the AI will give good answers to complicated technical questions. Also, it probably takes more keystrokes to update your Ubuntu box using “prompt language”, rather than a simple Ctrl-R and finding the command you need.

      Good advice. After half a year of using a box, you’re practically fine with just Ctrl+R. And I mean who has the time to type out ‘git submodule update’ anyways, or remeber how to do ‘journalctl -f -u nginx.service’… Just hit Ctrl+R, type 5 letters you remember and it’ll show up. Unless AI can do the ‘sudo make me a sandwich’. Then, I’m going to switch immediately.

      My thoughts as well. Plus LLMs are trained on a lot of outdated data, so often it would recommend a walk through that does not apply.

      I don’t think anyone knows how to actually use ctrl+r, though. When I try I usually give up and resort running egrep on bash_history instead.

    My dream is definitely a terminal that has access to all my commands and data and does who the fuck knows what with it.

    What a dream!!!

    hmmm, well at least they sponsor neovim.

    EDIT: Just went through their site and found it hilarious that the image they use to promote the “How do i fix this error?” displays an error that literally says how to fix the problem.

    I really liked the options to cycle through previous prompts in history, and to view output of the last command with at option to search in that output. But then I realized that lots of terminal emulators can do that, and I just needed to learn the hotkeys.

    I’m glad this person likes Warp. I’m not gonna yuck their yum, but I want nothing to do with Warp.
