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 @rameshsahoo111 thanks for reaching out. The standard "clear" behavior is a little wonky with Warp. You might use cmd-k instead. That tends to work better with Warp's grid model for now.

rameshsahoo111 commented 3 months ago

Hi @acarl005 thanks for your reply. CMD+k works however when I run sudo su - or su -, it creates a single for all sub-commands executed in the su - shell. I believe this defeats purpose of warp isolated command blocks for each command where all other command outputs have their own isolated block without using sudo/su. Can we improve this?

acarl005 commented 3 months ago

Actually that will happen even if you don't press cmd+k. This is something you have to configure in the "subshell" page of our settings. You can get the details here. TL;DR you would add the command sudo su - to this page (don't forget to press Enter after typing the command).

@rameshsahoo111 as Andy mentioned, the subshell method is the best way to enable Warp features in the sudo su. This way when you run clear or press CTRL-L it will show the input properly.

rameshsahoo111 commented 3 months ago

Hello @acarl005 @dannyneira , after adding sudo su - in subshell, I still don't get isolated command blocks.

dannyneira commented 3 months ago

@rameshsahoo111 You should warpify the subshell with CTRL-i once you're in sudo su -, which will enable the Warp features.

You can try adding the automatic warpify line to the sudo su profile and it should happen automatically.

# For zsh subshells, add to ~/.zshrc.
printf '\eP$f{"hook": "SourcedRcFileForWarp", "value": { "shell": "zsh"}}\x9c'

# For bash subshells, add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile.
printf '\eP$f{"hook": "SourcedRcFileForWarp", "value": { "shell": "bash"}}\x9c'

# For fish subshells, add to ~/.config/fish/config.fish.
if status is-interactive
  printf '\eP$f{"hook": "SourcedRcFileForWarp", "value": { "shell": "fish"}}\x9c'
end
