Hi everyone,

I’m encountering a strange issue with Warp on macOS. Whenever I type a command and press Enter, Warp opens Finder instead of executing the command. Interestingly, once Finder opens, if I close it and press Enter again, the command executes normally. Has anyone else experienced this or have suggestions for how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
macOS Version: macOS Sequoia 15.1
Warp Version: VO.2024.11.12.08.02.stable_02

Thank you!

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

I apologize, but I don't have enough specific information in the provided knowledge sources to directly address your issue of Warp opening Finder when pressing Enter. This seems to be a unique problem that isn't mentioned in the documents I have access to.

However, based on some related issues, I can suggest a few troubleshooting steps:

  1. Check your shell configuration: Some users have experienced issues with Enter key functionality due to conflicts in their shell configuration. You could try setting up a clean configuration as suggested in this GitHub issue comment (https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/4933#issuecomment-1587175079):

    Run echo 'ZDOTDIR=/' > ~/.zshenv

    This forces Zsh to run with zero configs, which might help isolate if the issue is related to your shell configuration.

  2. Verify your startup shell: Ensure that Warp is using the correct shell. You can check this in Warp's settings as mentioned in this GitHub issue comment (https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/5051#issuecomment-1614488316).

  3. Check for incompatible tools: Warp has a list of known incompatible tools that might cause unexpected behavior. You can find this list in the Warp documentation (https://docs.warp.dev/help/known-issues#list-of-incompatible-tools).

  4. If the issue persists, it would be helpful to report this on the Warp GitHub issues page (https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues), providing as much detail as possible about your setup and steps to reproduce the issue.

If none of these steps help, you might want to consider reaching out to Warp's support team directly or posting in their community forums for more specialized assistance.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
