I came here to report this as well. This feature is basically <meta> + .. When you select "Left Option Key is Meta" or "Right Optoin Key is Meta" in Warp, doing ⌥. should return the last argument of the previous command, but instead it outputs ≥

Note: This works on Terminal & iTerm too

[hazemuxbert]

This is the most missing feature for me

Quick workaround - You can type $_

mkdir foo
cd $_

Will cirlce back with yall once there are updates. But I don't see any coming anytime soon. :(

Just heard about Warp and was excited to try it right away, then hit this within my first minute of trying it. Would it be worth adding a warning to the relevant part of the settings UI, which currently makes it seem like option-as-meta is going to Just Work?

[jab]

Also could a Warp team member please update this ticket's title to fix the typos, namely "ESC" rather than "ECS" and "Warp" rather than "Wrap"?

Quick workaround - You can type $_

This does not work in fish shell.

This should have been fixed today!

ESC key has other uses apart from ESC+. Why set up a new "meta" key for that? I think it would be better to use ESC in the same way as other shells.

[warpdotdev-devx]

Can you elaborate some on what the ideal product experience would be for you!

[eleeaz95]

Well, I frequently use the [ESC+.] on other terminals to bring the last word of the last command (usually directories). For me will be a good experience to have that, or to have the option to set ESC as a meta key. ESC has other uses aswell, you can see some examples here: https://tutonics.com/2012/05/handy-bash-shortcuts.html

Nice, thanks for the quick fix! Any idea how soon before we can update to a release with the fix? Checked https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/releases and the latest release is from April.

@elviskahoro, thanks for fixing one of the typos in the issue title. The other typo still needs to be fixed: Wrap -> Warp

[elviskahoro]

@jab Warp should auto-update. We don't actively maintain the GitHub releases section. You can also install Warp with brew

I'm running version v0.2023.03.07.08.02.stable_03 of warp which is latest stable at the time of writing. I have unchecked both Left Option key is Meta and Right Option key is Meta as mentioned above. My shell is zsh. However, when trying to use Esc + ., it still won't work for me in warp. It just inserts the period as if I wasn't pushing Esc. It works okay in terminal and iTerm2. Same result if I check both the Meta options. Any tips?

[lubokkanev]

Doesn't work for me either.

[xidiot]

@elviskahoro , this is still a BUG. Should we ope a new issue or? Matter of fact I'm trying to set this shortcut to whatever - it doesn't matter - it simply does not work.

Hey Folks, we've implemented this functionality as META-., will keep this open for ESC-. support, but the current implementation should help with the use case. Please enable the Left/Right Option as Meta in Settings > Features > Keys. Please test this feature and let us know if any issues.

It does not work with my keyboard layout (FR). I tested with English layout and it works fine but unfortunately no way to make it work with my layout.

META-. works for me, thanks for implementing it!

[jab]

Although META-. now works in the shell, it is still not working in other readline-enabled programs like the python or ipython REPLs, where it still results in ≥ being echoed rather than inserting the last word of the previous line.
