Describe the bug

I have a bash alias with a control character (^O) in it. This causes Warp to never finish starting up. A message at the top of the Warp window says "Seems like your shell is taking a while to start..." but it never finishes

To reproduce

1. Include this alias in .bashrc

alias vimv=$'vim "+:normal! \x0f\x0f"'

2. Start Warp

Expected behavior

Warp should start up even if bash aliases contain control characters

Does this block you from using Warp daily?

No

Is this a Warp specific issue? (i.e. does it happen in Terminal, iTerm, Kitty, etc.)

Yes, this I confirmed this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.

Howdy, you can disable that alias just for Warp with the following conditional. That should help with the bootstrap script not loading.

# Bash and Zsh
if [[ $TERM_PROGRAM != "WarpTerminal" ]]; then
# > What you want to disable here <
fi

afaik, we don't support control sequences in aliases, there might be a request for that on github, but I'm not aware of one of top of my head.
