Warp's input editor works like a modern IDE text editor, with cursor movement, click-to-place, multi-line editing, copy-paste, word selection, and soft wrapping built in. Unlike traditional terminals, you can edit commands the same way you edit code — no memorizing shell-specific shortcuts required.

Text Editor Input also works for [SSH sessions](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/terminal/warpify/ssh/).

### Soft wrapping

Warp supports soft wrapping in the input editor. If an autosuggestion goes off-screen, the input editor will be horizontally scrollable to make it visible. Some operations treat soft-wrapped lines like a logical line (`TRIPLE-CLICK`) while other operations treat soft wrapped lines like visible different lines (`↑`/`↓`, `Shift+↑`/`Shift+↓`).

### Copy on select

Warp supports copy on select for selectable text within [Blocks](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/terminal/blocks/).

* Toggle this feature in **Settings** > **Features** > **Terminal** or search for "Copy on select" in the [Command Palette](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/terminal/command-palette/).

### Autocomplete quotes, parentheses, and brackets

Warp can automatically complete quotes, brackets, and parentheses like you're used to in IDEs.

* Toggle this feature in **Settings** > **Features** > **Text Editing** or search for "Autocomplete quotes" in the [Command Palette](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/terminal/command-palette/).
