Holy shit this made my day. Warp’s convenience shell wrapping is amazing. It’s the only terminal where I can actually edit a long command in place rather than copy pasting into an editor and doing so there. Now I’m more or less assured I can retain this convenience without being forced into more AI crap.

^X^E in bash takes your current prompt and moves it to your $EDITOR.

for zsh:

  autoload edit-command-line
  zle -N edit-command-line
  bindkey '^X^E' edit-command-line

Right, but if all terminals behaved like modern pieces of software, we would take functionality like Warp's as given, instead of suggesting workarounds.

What you describe sorta works, but you lose things like file/dir-based autocomplete, since your editor doesn't know about your shell session.

or just type "fc" to edit the previous command.

Other shortcuts to edit prompt in editor:

Alt-e for fish

Ctrl-g for Claude code

Or v for those using bash's vi mode

Have you tried `C-x e`

Just ask your agent to fork and remove it!
