Describe the bug

I have two displays:

Warp recognizes the external display C27JG5x as Screen 2 and Built-in Retina as Main screen.

The following Global hotkey configuration used to work well, however since some releases ago after I wake up the Mac from sleep the terminal is always open/closed in the Main screen

To reproduce

1. Go to Settings, then Features and apply the following configuration:

   

2. Press ⌥W, then verify that Warp is open in the Screen 2

3. Put the Mac to sleep

4. Wake up the Mac

5. Press ⌥W

Actual Behaviour Warp is open in the Main Screen

Expected behavior

Warp is open in the Screen 2

Does this block you from using Warp daily?

No

Is this a Warp specific issue? (i.e. does it happen in Terminal, iTerm, Kitty, etc.)

Yes, this I confirmed this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.

Hi @mulecalle I've found this difficult to reproduce. What I recommend to fix this is to make sure the display is set to "Main Display" in the Arrange settings so that the other display will be Display 2.

If the issue persists, please try and close the Dedicated window by pressing CMD-W with it open and focused. Then it will generate a new window in the proper display as your new customization will apply the next time a Dedicated Window is created, not the currently opened one.

Hi, @dannyneira thank you for your response, this video was captured in the main display after a wake-up from sleep. Warp is opened/closed by pressing the keybinding configuration (⌥W)

As you can see the issue persists. I also tried your recommendations and it works however it's kind of annoying closing and re-opening.

[dannyneira]

Thanks for confirming. We'll post any further updates on this thread if/when this is being worked on/completed.

I have this annoying issue as well for a long time, and it is driving me nuts. My setting is to open on the main screen, but after sleep it often switches to another one. I need to go to settings, set open to active screen, toggle twice, and change the setting back. I really hope this issue gets some attention and care !

Is there any update on this? I love Warp but this bug messes with my flow on a regular basis, it would be really great if this could be fixed, thanks!

I often encounter issues with all three screen options: Active Screen, Main Screen, and Screen 2.

Here's what usually happens when I invoke Warp using the global hotkey:

• Active Screen: Warp would appear and remain on a screen that is not the Active Screen.
• Main Screen: Warp would appear and remain on Screen 2.
• Screen 2: Warp would appear and remain on Main Screen.

Switching screen setting doesn't resolve the issue, but restarting Warp temporarily fixes this issue.

I would say that the problem usually occurs when waking up my MacBook or when attaching/detaching external displays.

still happen sometime, it pushes me still use item2 for my primary tool : (

I don't even need sleep for it to do this anymore. It just randomly switches when it feels like it.

Any update on this? It would be really great to have this fixed 🥺

Hey folks, as a possible workaround to this issue, You may need to go to Mac > System Settings > Desktop & Dock , then enable "Displays have separate Spaces" and the "Active" screen hotkey settings should work after sleep. Please let us know if that helps with your issue.

But doing that, it only works properly if I have nothing in fullscreen mode on the Active screen. At the moment that I open an App in fullscreen, then using the hotkey opens the Warp terminal in the other screen.
