Hi @lost mason. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

#

It seems like you're experiencing an issue where Warp's features stop working when using nix shell. This could be due to the fact that Warp's subshells feature only works with Shell-based subshells (bash/zsh/fish/ssh/poetry shell/eb ssh/etc.), and other REPLs like nix-shell aren't currently supported for this feature. There is a GitHub feature request tracking this issue here (https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/64) as mentioned in the Discord support thread (https://discord.com/channels/851854972600451112/1172530946214461450).

Additionally, there was a similar issue reported where the AI command search shortcut stopped working in nix-shell. You can find more details about this issue here (https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/2869).

As a workaround, you might want to try disabling certain parts of your dotfiles just for Warp by using a conditional statement. Here's an example for zsh:

# Enable just for Warp
if [[ $TERM_PROGRAM -eq "WarpTerminal" ]]; then
  # What you want to ENABLE just for Warp here
fi

And for fish:

**Fish**
if test "$TERM_PROGRAM" != "WarpTerminal"
**> What you want to disable here <**
end

These examples were mentioned in the Github Issue (https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/3232) and Github Issue (https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/2244) respectively.

Hey @lost mason I imagine that command enters a subshell, @hot river how can they add the nix flake develop to the subshell menu? provide links to the docs

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

#

To add nix flake develop to the subshell menu in Warp, you can follow these steps:

  1. Go to Settings > Subshells in Warp.
  2. Add nix flake develop to your custom list of commands.

Once added, commands that initiate subshells will generate a prompt that lets you “Warpify” on the fly. If you’d like to remember your preferences and bypass the banner, you can edit your RC files for automatic Warpification.

On the flip side, if you’d prefer to never Warpify one of the commands Warp recognized as “subshell-compatible,” you can use the blocklist under Settings > Subshells to ensure you’re never interrupted with a banner.

You can learn more about this feature in the Warp's blog post about subshell support (https://www.warp.dev/blog/warp-supports-subshells).
