Describe the solution you'd like?
Add an option to open directories in $EDITOR when clicking directory paths printed in Warp's output.
Currently, clicking a directory path opens it in Finder. I'd like to keep Finder as the default system-wide behavior, but have Warp-specific behavior that opens directories in my configured editor (e.g., VS Code, Neovim) when I click them from terminal output.
This could be implemented as:
- A Warp setting to configure directory click behavior (Finder vs
$EDITOR) - A modifier key (e.g., Cmd+click opens in
$EDITOR, regular click opens in Finder) - A context menu option when right-clicking directories
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When working in the terminal, I often encounter directory paths in command output (build logs, git status, file listings, etc.). When I want to explore or edit files in that directory, I currently have to:
- Copy the path
- Switch to my editor
- Use "Open Folder" and paste the path
Being able to click directly to open in $EDITOR would streamline this workflow significantly.
Additional context
This would be especially useful for developers who:
- Work primarily in terminal-based editors (Neovim, Helix)
- Use VS Code or other editors with good directory/project support
- Frequently navigate between terminal output and code exploration
Operating system (OS)
macOS

Claude Code often prints output like this:
I'd like to be able to click on portal/ui/breadcrumb/ and have it be opened in Cursor (my $EDITOR) instead of Finder.
