Warp is an awesome product, and I'm excited about its future, but normal shell completions are still important. We just need a way to be able to trigger shell completions normally, not warp completions (preferably with tab, as that is muscle memory).
#Please, we just need normal completions

Hi @ashen bear. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
I understand your concern. The issue of tab completions in Warp has been a topic of discussion in the community. Currently, Warp has its own completion system which is different from the normal shell completions. This is due to Warp's architecture, which builds a wrapper around the shell to enable a modern IDE-like input editor and other features source (https://discord.com/channels/851854972600451112/1185289341354918009).
However, there have been suggestions from the community to allow users to bypass or disable Warp's tab completion and use shell tab completion instead. Some users have suggested having a configurable shortcut for shell completion and another for warp completion, for example, tab for warp and shift + tab for zsh/bash, or vice-versa source (https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/1811).
There is also an active effort by the Warp team to improve completions in general, which may include an API for custom completions support source (https://discord.com/channels/851854972600451112/1212885169371877447).
Unfortunately, as of the information provided, there isn't a straightforward method to disable Warp's tab completion interception or to enable shell-based tab completion directly within Warp. The suggested workaround involves modifying your dotfiles to disable certain plugins or behaviors specifically for Warp, but this might not directly address shell completions source (https://discord.com/channels/851854972600451112/1212885169371877447).
I recommend keeping an eye on the Warp's GitHub issues and Discord channels for updates on this topic.
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

Hey @ashen bear As a workaround you can run your shell in Warp and fall-back to shell completions. You will lose features like blocks and Warp completions, but the session should work as with a normal terminal.
