Tab key conflict between Zoxide and Warp terminal
I use Warp terminal and I've just installed Zoxide, it seemed like a very useful CLI tool, but there is an issue. Tab key triggers Zoxide's fuzzy search to choose the correct directory for navigation, but in Warp it triggers autosuggestions and it has higher priority so the Zoxide's fuzzy search doesn't work.
What can you suggest to benefit from both tools?
I had wondered about this, its peculiar since its sponsored by warp too...
Same here. I installed zoxide via home brew. Tab completion works on the built in macos terminal but not with warp
- zoxide version
0.9.4 - warp version
v0.2024.07.23.08.02.stable_01
Warp does things a little differently from other terminals.
To the best of my knowledge (I don't work at Warp), the way they're able to create an IDE-like typing experience is because you're essentially typing in a text box that has nothing to do with the shell. Warp does not send anything to the shell till you press Return. The downside is that some shell features like completions no longer work with Warp. They work around the problem by using Fig completions for popular commands, but it's not likely we'll see custom completions like Space+Tab anytime soon.

I had been using Warp for around a year before they approached me for a sponsorship, and I still do. While I miss Space+Tab, the benefits for me far outweigh the downsides.
I'm closing this issue since nothing can be done about it, but if Warp ever creates a way to plug into the completions system, I'd be more than happy to fix Space+Tab.
