Hi @noble vault. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
#Do warp have session restore feature like a chat history in those LLM piolot?

Short answer: Partially.
- Terminal sessions: Warp can restore your previous terminal windows, tabs, panes, and the last few Blocks on startup via Session Restoration. It’s enabled by default and stores state in a local SQLite DB. This works cross‑platform, though window positioning has limits on Wayland. Note: the DB is overwritten on each quit (no multi-session history yet) (Session Restoration docs).
- Linux behavior: Full restoration across multiple windows works if you quit the app (e.g., via “Quit Warp” in the command palette); earlier issues were fixed in releases after 2024‑03‑07. Quitting via a window manager wasn’t initially supported, but “Quit Warp” enables proper restore (Linux behavior thread).
- Reopening recently closed tabs: You can reopen closed tabs briefly (about a minute) with Shift‑Cmd‑T and a setting to enable/disable it; this also works when using the red close button/Cmd‑W on macOS (Reopen closed tabs note).
However:
- Warp AI/Agent chat history is not yet persisted across crashes/restarts. Multiple requests are open for storing/restoring AI conversation history, compaction, and longer-term session history; the team has acknowledged this limitation and is working on it, but there’s no released feature yet for durable AI chat restore or multi-session history you can browse later (Store/Restore Agent Conversation; Conversation history request; Known limitation acknowledgment; Session History proposal; Automatic compaction request).
Given your Arch Linux + Hyprland setup:
- Session Restoration should bring back your last terminal session after a proper quit; on Wayland, window positioning may not restore. If Warp crashes, it restores only what was previously saved on last quit, not mid-session AI chat context (Session Restoration docs).
