Add option to open directories in $EDITOR

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:

  1. Copy the path
  2. Switch to my editor
  3. 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

How important is this feature to you?

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.
