Describe the bug

Environment:

• OS: Linux Mint
• Desktop: X-Cinnamon
• Warp Version: warp-terminal --version
  Oz v0.2026.05.06.15.42.stable_05

Issue:
According to documentation, "Hold CTRL and click a symbol" should:

1. Show underline while holding CTRL ✗ NOT WORKING
2. Jump to definition on click ✗ NOT WORKING

However:

• Right-click "Go to Definition" works ✓
• gopls server is running (green status) ✓
• Hover information works ✓
• Inline diagnostics work ✓

Reproduction:

1. Open any Go file in Warp editor
2. Hold CTRL key
3. Move mouse over a function name
4. Expected: underline appears ✗
5. Actual: no visual feedback

Workaround:

• Using right-click menu

Does this block you from using Warp daily?

No

Is this an issue only in Warp?

Yes, I confirmed that this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.

Here's what I found while triaging this issue:

This appears to be a Linux modifier-handling mismatch rather than an LSP/gopls failure. Right-click Go to Definition is a valid workaround until the Ctrl-hover/Ctrl-click shortcut is aligned with the documented behavior.

Maintainer details

I concluded that ctrl-click Go to Definition appears broken on Linux because the editor's hover/click definition path is gated on Warp's command-style mouse modifier instead of Ctrl..

Triage

This looks like a real Linux-specific editor/LSP mouse-modifier bug, not a gopls availability issue. The reporter confirmed right-click Go to Definition, hover, diagnostics, and server status work, which narrows the failure to the Ctrl-hover/Ctrl-click shortcut path.

Likely implementation cause: the code-editor symbol underline/navigation flow is currently gated on Warp's command-style mouse modifier. On Linux, that modifier is populated from the Super key while Ctrl is tracked separately, so Ctrl-hover never requests a definition for underlining and Ctrl-click never triggers the hoverable link. The right-click context-menu action calls Go to Definition through a separate cursor-based path, explaining why it still works.

Duplicate check: I enumerated open issues and found related LSP/navigation requests such as #7717, but fewer than two open issues matched this exact Linux Ctrl-click failure, so I am not marking this as a duplicate.

Suggested next step: align the code-editor mouse shortcut with the documented platform behavior for Linux, likely by accepting ctrl as the activation modifier for hover/click definition navigation on non-macOS platforms, while preserving macOS Command-click behavior and the existing context-menu path.

This is my automated analysis and may be incorrect. A maintainer will verify the details.
