Why it took us 11 months to move a single line of text
Warp has introduced the option to enable Same Line Prompt, a feature highly requested by developers who prefer a more traditional terminal experience. The new prompt puts the input editor on the same line as the shell prompt, addressing concerns about confusion and excessive vertical space usage with Warp's default prompt. Implementing this feature was technically complex due to Warp's Rust-based UI grid system. The Same Line Prompt also brings changes to text selection, scrolling, soft wrapping, and finished block rendering. Developers can now choose between using Warp's custom prompt or their shell prompt (PS1) with the new feature.
