#Partial autocomplete
split perchBOT
Warp does support partial autocomplete, but the behavior is a bit different from some traditional terminals. Here’s how it works based on the available information:
- When you type a prefix (like
se) and pressTAB, Warp will show you a list of possible completions (e.g.,setup_pg,setup_redis). If there is a common prefix among the suggestions (likesetup_), Warp should autocomplete up to that common part when you pressTAB—this is called completing the "longest common prefix" Completions documentation. - This feature was specifically improved in a past release to fill in the longest common prefix after filtering tab completions, so typing
seand pressingTABshould result insetup_being autocompleted if bothsetup_pgandsetup_redisexist Changelog v0.2022.02.21.08.55. - If you want to accept the full autosuggestion (the greyed-out text), you can use the
RIGHTarrow orCTRL-F. You can also rebind theTABkey to accept autosuggestions in the settings, but thenTABwill not open the completions menu Autosuggestions documentation.
Summary of steps for partial autocomplete:
- Type the prefix (e.g.,
se). - Press
TAB. - If there are multiple matches with a common prefix, Warp should autocomplete up to the common part (e.g.,
setup_).
If this is not working as expected, make sure you are on a recent version of Warp, as this feature was added in a specific update. If you have changed keybindings, check your settings under Features > Editor.
If you want to partially accept an autosuggestion component by component, you can use CTRL-RIGHT (or CTRL-SHIFT-RIGHT on some systems) Autosuggestions documentation.
