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

I hear your frustration — you're definitely not alone in feeling this way, and it's a sentiment echoed by many users in Warp's own issue tracker. [stop changing UI]

Here's a practical guide to making Warp behave more like a plain terminal:

Disable AI Features

  1. Turn off AI globally: Go to Settings > AI and toggle off the main AI switch. This is the most comprehensive option.

  2. Stop automatic Agent Mode switching: If Warp keeps jumping into Agent Mode on its own, go to Settings > AI > Input > Natural Language Detection and disable it. You can still trigger Agent Mode manually with CMD+I (macOS) or CTRL+I (Windows/Linux) when you actually want it. [natural language detection]

  3. Disable individual AI features (auto suggestions, active AI ghost prompt, completion menu, voice input) via the Command Palette (CMD+P on Mac, CTRL+SHIFT+P on Windows/Linux) — type "Disable" to see all available toggles. [minimal UI guide]

  4. Hide the Code Review button: Go to Settings > Appearance > Tabs > Show code review button and disable it. [code review button]

Use Classic Input

Switch to Classic Input for a more traditional terminal feel: Settings > Appearance > Input, and select Shell (PS1). This mode supports PS1 prompts, oh-my-zsh themes, and other shell customizations without the AI-forward interface. [classic input]

It won't fully revert Warp to what it once was, but these steps should significantly reduce the AI noise in your day-to-day use.
