Enable opening from Finder

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated when you have to navigate to a working directory.

Describe the solution you'd like
In iTerm2 or with the built in Terminal, an option shows up in system preferences to open a terminal tab at a specific folder from within Finder. It would be nice if Warp would support that.

Is there a workaround for this? Pretty key feature.

[justinhporter]

Having a command-line argument to specify a directory would make this easy to script.

We're keeping track of controlling Warp via CLI here: #612

Darn... The lack of this feature is an immediate deterrent for me, despite all the rest. Kinda discouraging as this has been an issue for over a year. I guess there are only 20 users who want this?

I have a key shortcut rigged to the "Open folder in iTerm" option. I find the folder, hit the keys, iTerm launches with the path of the selected folder. This is how I launch my console every time. I have quite deep folder structures, so cd-ing my way there sucks.

EDIT: Man this sounds kinda rude... I think I was in a hurry! Thanks for the reply and for spending your time turning this awesome idea into a reality! It is ABOUT DAMN TIME for the console to get an upgrade!

Ability to open the file using a specific app, selected from the Finder-like "Open with" menu.

Hello guys !

If I understand the issue, you want to open Warp terminal at specific folder.

I found an article that explain how to do this with Vscode:
https://thehotcode.com/macos-open-with-vscode-finder/

You can use the same process for Warp, I did it and it works.

that solution avoid manipulating bash scripts

Is there a workaround for this? Pretty key feature.

There is. You can open a new tab in the terminal (or reuse an existing tab), type cd and drag the directory you want to open from the Finder into the terminal:

Alternatively you can play with Automator to create Services or Quick Actions menu entry that does what you want (it can receive the selected files as an argument).

Here is how a similar action "Copy path to clipboard" looks like:

I was able to do it with Automator.

1. Open Automator
2. When prompted with "Choose a type for your document:", select "Quick Action"
3. Set "Workflow receives current" to "folders" and "in" to "Finder"
4. In the "Actions" sidebar, select "Utilities" then "Run Shell Script" and drag it into the "Drag actions or files here to build your workflow" space
5. In "Run Shell Script", set "Pass input:" to "as arguments"
6. Copy and paste open -a Warp.app $1 into the text box
7. Save the Quick Action (File > Save) and give it a name like "Open folder with Warp"
8. Now right click any folder in Finder then select your new Quick Action from the "Quick Actions" context submenu
9. Profit

Hey Folks! With the latest release of Warp, we've enabled opening a new tab or window from Finder. Also, as an alternative, you can drag a folder into the Warp input editor and quickly enter the path. See below:

Going to close this out, now that it's launched, but please don't hesitate to leave a comment here if you encounter any issues!

[ramirezlab]

Hello,

I followed @redouredou recommendations by using this post -> https://thehotcode.com/macos-open-with-vscode-finder/

1. With the Automator app I created a quick action (as the example for VSCode
2. In Preferences, go to keyboard shortcuts and select "Services" on the left menu
3. Activate the "New warp Window Here" and add your shortcut.
4. Test It in Finder. Just use the shortcut and voalá!!!

Let me know if works

Best,

[zhalice2011]

The above methods are all too complicated. Is there a way like Go2shell(https://zipzapmac.com/Go2Shell), where I only need one operation to open the terminal from a folder?

[zhalice2011]

I used this open source program to solve my problem. https://github.com/Ji4n1ng/OpenInTerminal

[vorporeal]

@zhalice2011 If your goal is to open a new tab/window in Warp with a specific folder as the initial working directory, this is now supported without any additional tools - make sure you're running an up-to-date version of Warp, then right-click on a folder in Finder and select "New Warp Tab here" or "New Warp Window here"! (They might be under the "Services" submenu.)

[zhalice2011]

Yes, This is a natively supported method, it's just not as convenient. I just want to click the button once, forgive me, LoL

Do you have a forked version? The original source doesn‘t seem to support warp.

ok, found the custom option to easily support warp:

[jeannen]

Started using the app not long ago, but not being able to open a folder in terminal from a keyboard shortcut (like with mac terminal) is a no-go :/

Any plan to add it?

[Krishpkreame]

New Automator app

Export the app and while holding CMD drag it into your finder toolbar
