Support rectangular selection within a block #2165

Describe the solution you'd like?

Is it possible to perform rectangular text selection in Warp? If so, I haven't figured out how to do so. In iTerm2, holding down Cmd + Alt while dragging causes the selection mode to change to rectangular. VSCode calls this "column selection".

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Having rectangular selection makes it much easier to copy fixed layout output or prefixed text.

This is what it looks like in iTerm2:

This feature would be a real lifesaver in some log reading and output capturing circumstances.

dportalesr commented 1 year ago

Absolutely. I think every IDE out there supports it. I'm relying on copy/pasting from warp into my IDE to perform that kind of selection 🫣

manewitz commented 1 year ago

+1 for me. In other programs, I've heavily used Command-Option drag for rectangle/column selection (to copy items out of a REPL/console session without the prompt for instance)

I installed warp earlier and switched back to iterm2 when i saw that they don't have this feature, i guess i'll have to wait for it 😕

Yes please. I like a lot about Warp, and this is one of the three or four things that are painful to me.

This is the thing that has forced me back to Alacritty.

augustin4s commented 5 months ago

The copy on select, which was recently fixed, was one of the two main missing features for me. The rectangular select feature is the last one holding me back from fully migrating to Warp

mikenerone commented 4 months ago

Any movement on this? This is pretty much a standard feature in other terminal apps. iTerm, alacritty, KDE Konsole, Gnome Terminal, PuTTY, heck even Windows Terminal, all do this. I'm having more trouble thinking of a major terminal app that doesn't provide this. I like Warp a lot and I can wait for this a little while longer, but I just want to make it clear that this is a several-times-a-day source of frustration.

This is likely going to be the final "little thing" that sends me—albeit reluctantly—back to iTerm2.

It's obviously a big enough deal to enough people that there have been several tickets opened for it over the years. And it's one of those "expected" features that even the lowly Apple Terminal has, let alone the many other terminals and IDEs already mentioned.

Can Warp please at least share when this is likely to be implemented?
