I was just looking at that! It seems that I'm also conflating "terminal" and "shell" here possibly. Is Warp both in this case?

Warp is a terminal, we still rely on the underlying shell to do the interpretation / execution of the commands. At the moment, we support using bash, zsh, or fish as the shell.

...huh.

Writing a tty which has to support specific shells isn't confidence inducing.

How did you paint yourself into that specific corner exactly?

I'm guessing the auto-complete handling means they need to understand the line editing of the shell. If they've done it well, it'd hopefully be possible to quickly handle others and/or make it configurable.

Ah, that.. almost makes sense? fish at least has its own autocomplete.

I'd be more careful about the messaging then, something like "you can use any shell you want, we provide enhanced features for bash/zsh/fish and are looking to expand that in future".

This. Also the mention of ‘collaboration’ and ‘cloud’ put me off. “Do one thing and do it well”.
