Warp August 13, 2026 Changelog

This update is all about making Warp's AI tools smoother and less annoying to use. If you use Warp Agent to run background tasks or ask coding questions, you'll notice it stops interrupting your typing and handles long-running commands much better. It also brings a bunch of quality-of-life improvements for everyday terminal users, like smarter auto-complete for various developer tools and a cleaner interface.

What's new

• Grok Integration: You can now use a new slash command (/connect-grok) in the text interface to quickly connect your Grok (X Premium or SuperGrok) account to Warp.
• Customizable Tab Colors: You can now set up a custom keyboard shortcut or use the Command Palette to cycle through different colors for your active browser-like tabs, helping you stay organized.
• Cloud Agent Details: When you run tasks in the cloud, the details panel now shows an icon for the operating system (macOS or Linux) it's running on, along with the hardware architecture.
• Easier Skill References: When launching background "child" AI agents, you can now reference skills by their repository name instead of typing out long, complicated file paths.

Improvements

• More Command Auto-completes: Warp can now auto-finish commands for several tools: vagrant (including its sub-commands and machine names), openssl, journalctl (for viewing system logs), and the Yandex Cloud CLI (yc). It also now suggests names for Git worktrees.
• Smarter Tab Autocomplete: When you are connected to a remote server via SSH, hitting Tab to autocomplete a file path will now correctly follow "symlinks" (shortcuts to other folders).
• Better Process Suggestions: Typing pkill (a command to kill running programs) and hitting Tab will now suggest actual running programs instead of just files on your computer.
• Cleaner Code Blocks: When the AI replies with code snippets, the boxes around the code are gone, making it much easier to highlight and copy the code.
• Failed Cloud Runs Stay Open: If a cloud task fails, the session stays open so you can attach to it and debug what went wrong, rather than just disappearing.
• Better Agent Navigation: The Agents bar in the CLI now lets you drill down into background tasks that are managing other tasks, follow a trail back up, and see status badges for the whole group.
• Correct Homebrew Commands: If you installed Warp using Homebrew (a Mac package manager), it will now correctly show you the exact brew upgrade command needed to update the app.

Fixes

• AI and Input Clashes: Fixed an issue where background AI agents would "steal" your keyboard focus, making you type into the wrong window. Also fixed long-running commands in the CLI not accepting keyboard input at all.
• AI Crash on Emojis: Fixed a crash that happened in the AI context menu when text contained multi-byte characters (like emojis, accented letters, or Japanese/Chinese characters) near the edge of a preview box.
• AI Citations: Fixed a bug where an AI response wouldn't show up at all if it included a citation type the app didn't recognize.
• Hidden Background Tasks: Fixed inactive AI toolbelts from secretly running commands in the background, and stopped canceled background commands from leaving hidden child processes running.
• Code Review Files: Fixed the code review pane failing to load file content for files you've renamed but haven't saved yet.
• Stale Links: Prevented old, expired shared-session links and QR codes from showing up while a new session is still loading.
• Text Rendering: Fixed combining marks (accent marks that attach to letters) from rendering in the wrong spot on Linux and Windows. Also fixed pasting rich text from losing specific font weights.
• Vim Mode: Fixed the "Find in File" search box becoming unclickable after pressing Enter while using Vim keyboard shortcuts.
• Window and UI Fixes: Fixed window corners being incorrectly rounded when in fullscreen mode. Also fixed the "Quake mode" (drop-down terminal) window not letting you type if it opened on a different monitor.
• macOS Tweaks: Option-clicking the green window button now properly zooms the window instead of forcing it into fullscreen. Also, running the AI from the command line no longer makes a bouncing Warp icon stay stuck in your Mac's Dock.
• Model Picker: Fixed the AI model picker changing your default AI model for *every* session instead of just the one you were using.
• Copy Link Button: Fixed the "copy link" button doing absolutely nothing while a cloud session was still starting up.
• Environment Selector: Fixed a confusing menu that displayed "New Environment" for AI runs that didn't have an environment set up.
• Git Slowdowns: Fixed the app creating way too many background Git processes when loading global skills, which was slowing things down.
• CLI Cursor: Fixed the Warp Agent CLI occasionally showing no typing cursor after temporary interactions.
• Streaming Jitter: Fixed the text occasionally jittering while AI responses streamed in on the Warp Agent CLI.
