Describe the bug

I an not copy/paste any selected text from Warp to another program, nor from another window into Warp

To reproduce

Select any text in Warp, right-click->Copy (or Ctrl+Shift-C), switch to a different window (say, gedit) and try to paste the copied text. The old contents of clipboard is pasted, as if nothing was copied inside Warp. The same problem when trying to copy text from gedit/Firefox/GNOME_Terminal into Warp

Expected behavior

Copy/Paste in Warp should use the system clipboard, allowing copying text to/from other programs

Does this block you from using Warp daily?

Yes, this issue prevents me from using Warp daily.

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.

hey folks, this is a known issue, especially when using Wayland with Warp, Also the default copy-paste shortcuts are CTRL-SHIFT-C/V, but those can be changed In Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts. Hope this helps! https://docs.warp.dev/features/keyboard-shortcuts

Also, you can try to download this preview version of Warp and see if it fixes your issues:

deb rpm pacman appimage

If using Wayland, you can enable Wayland support by setting the WARP_ENABLE_WAYLAND envar (e.gWARP_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 warp-terminal).

We're working on the Wayland issues so we appreciate your patience.

Copy paste does work with the new build but only inside the app or when copy using keyboard shortcut.

Inside vim it still does not copy using mouse selection and keyboard shortcuts.

Hey @brightdroid, we're actively working on supporting copy/paste when using mouse selection. We expect to have a fix out soon for this. Thanks for your patience!

Tried the 'WARP_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 warp-terminal' fix and no joy. Linux Mint (which is based on Ubuntu). In my terminal, I see this message fly by when attempting to paste into the command window:

01:10:47 [INFO] dispatching typed action: UnhandledModifierKey("ctrl-v")

No idea if that is helpful information.

[alokedesai]

Hey @oakbox, the shortcut to paste in Warp is ctrl-shift-v. This matches the behavior of most terminals on Linux; we can't use ctrl-v since it would conflict with a shortcut that could be sent to a running command within your shell. You can reconfigure this in settings.

Copying and pasting was working before I updated to the latest version of warp (v0.2024.03.12.08.02.stable_01) (I had to manually type that as copying doesn't work haha)

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04.1

I always use the Ctrl+Shit+C/V key combo as I'm used to the default term in Ubuntu which has the same shortcut keys.

For me personally not being able to C&P makes Warp something I can't use. I'll switch back to native term for now. Hope this is re-fixed asap!

Alternatively can I roll back my Warp update? @alokedesai :pray:

[alokedesai]

Hey @adamdry, thanks for flagging this to us. Could you share the output of your Warp logs when you press ctrl-shift-c or ctrl-shift-v so we can debug further?

[adamdry]

warp.log

Yeah sure! I can make a quick loom to show the issue as well if that's helpful @alokedesai ?

[alokedesai]

Yes, please. Thanks @adamdry!

Hopefully this is useful :smile: @alokedesai

[adamdry]

@alokedesai this is fixed for me now! I'm not sure if it was upgrading to the latest version of warp v0.2024.03.19.08.01.stable_01 or if a restart fixed it, but it's working fine now.

Thanks for your attention.

[oakbox]

Same here, the latest update has enabled the 'middle mouse button paste', very excited to try out Warp as my daily driver to see if the reality lives up to the hype of my coworkers :)

@adamdry Apologies for not following up earlier, but yes that's correct. Thank you for flagging this to us.!
