Describe the solution you'd like?
Tab Configs (the new recommended system) should be accessible via keyboard shortcuts, just like the legacy Launch Configurations are.
Current behavior:
Tab Configs (.toml files in ~/.warp/tab_configs/) are only accessible by clicking the + button or right-clicking it
Legacy Launch Configurations (.yaml files) are accessible via:
Command Palette (Cmd+P → "Launch Configuration")
Direct keyboard shortcut (Cmd+Ctrl+L)
Menu bar (File → Launch Configurations)
Requested behavior:
Tab Configs should appear in:
The Command Palette when searching for "tab config" or the config name
The existing Cmd+Ctrl+L shortcut (alongside or replacing Launch Configurations)
Ideally, allow assigning custom keyboard shortcuts to individual Tab Configs
Why this matters
Tab Configs are positioned as the recommended replacement for Launch Configurations
Warp markets itself as a modern, keyboard-first terminal
Forcing users to use the mouse to access the new system is a regression from the old system
Many workflows rely on quick keyboard access to switch between project environments
Current workaround
Users must continue using the legacy Launch Configurations (YAML) to get keyboard access, which defeats the purpose of migrating to the new Tab Configs system.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes. I want to quickly launch pre-configured development environments using only the keyboard. The new Tab Configs format is better (TOML vs YAML), but I can't use it without breaking my keyboard-driven workflow.
