Command Key Combo Not Going to Emacs

Describe the bug

In my init.el for Emacs, I have CMD-a mapped to call an Emacs function.

I noticed that CMD-a does a 'select all blocks' in Warp, so I remapped that to CMD-SHIFT-a.

Now nothing seems to happen when I press CMD-a. Is the CMD-a not being sent to Emacs?

This is how it's set up in iTerm. In my init.el, I have the following lines:

(setq mac-command-modifier ‘hyper)
(define-key map "\e[1;P11" (kbd "H-a”))

The first line sets the CMD button to Emacs hyper key. The define-key line says the sequence [1;P11 triggers the CMD-a. In iTerm, I have a key mapping that says send ^[[1;P11 when I press CMD-a.

I don't see anywhere in Warp where I can set such settings. Is there a place where I can do this?

To Reproduce

Create a blank ~/.emacs/init.el file.

Insert the following lines:
(global-set-key (kbd "H-a") 'execute-extended-command)
(setq mac-command-modifier ‘hyper)
(define-key map "\e[1;P11" (kbd "H-a”))

Start emacs:

emacs -nw

If it doesn't work, nothing will happen when you hit CMD-a.

Expected behaviour

When reproducing above, hitting CMD-a should return something like:

cd
arp
dox
...

There have been reports of some key sequences not being sent. Will circle back with you once we've investigated and have updates!

Please see the related issue here. #1860 We will post updates on this issue in this thread. Thanks for your patience.

changing to a feature request to respect emacs keybinds, which Warp currently doesn't.

If you'd like to see support for this in Warp, please 👍 and subscribe to this request as it helps us gauge interest. We will post any updates here.

That's interesting, because Warp respects EMACS Ctrl-d to delete the character forward of the insertion point just fine. :)

Hey @dannyneira I'm getting a similar issue with my neovim setup. I have [Alt] + 1 mapped to open ToggleTerm and it seems like Warp is intercepting the call. I have checked and there is nothing mapped to [Alt] + 1 in the warp settings.

I think a better and more generic fix / feature request, would be adding some user controlled setting on keyboard shortcuts that will let users customize the list of shortcuts they want warp to ignore. Or a bug fix to prevent warp from intercepting shortcuts when there is nothing assigned.

A feature request to support any individual editor would be too niche to prioritize but more control over which shortcuts are passed through would apply to many different types of apps.
