Warp Terminal for VS Code

An unofficial fork of the open-source Warp terminal, running in a VS Code panel tab next to Terminal. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Warp; all credit for the terminal itself goes to the Warp team, who open-sourced their client.

This extension builds Warp's client for the web and drives a real shell on your machine through a small local PTY server, so you get Warp's terminal without leaving VS Code:

• Blocks: every command and its output is a block you can select, copy and search.
• Warp's input editor: multi-line editing, completions, syntax highlighting, history search.
• Tabs and splits, restored across VS Code windows and restarts.
• Shells keep running across window reloads, like VS Code's own terminal.
• AI command search (#) and Next Command with your own OpenRouter key (bring your own key, stored in VS Code's secret storage; zero-data-retention routing on by default).
• Warp's settings, themes and appearance, saved with VS Code.

Warp's account, cloud and Agent Mode features are hidden: no Warp account or sign-in is needed.

Use

Open the Warp tab in the bottom panel (View → Open View… → Warp). Warp's own actions that collide with VS Code shortcuts are in the Command Palette under "Warp: …". To use AI features, run Warp: Set OpenRouter API Key.

Platforms: macOS (Apple silicon and Intel) and Linux (x64, arm64; also in Remote SSH, WSL and container windows). Windows is planned.
