Warp is no longer just a terminal: vertical tab bar, cross-Agent notification center, remote control, bringing all programming Agents into one workspace.

ME News, April 15 (UTC+8): According to Dongcha Beating monitoring, the terminal tool Warp released an update for Universal Agent Support. The core idea is to turn itself from a terminal into a unified management interface for all CLI programming Agents. It currently supports Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode.

The most straightforward change is the vertical tab bar (Vertical Tabs). The horizontal tab bar has been replaced with a sidebar. Each tab page shows the Agent type icon, running status (in progress/completed/error/blocked), the current Git branch, and diff statistics—so when running multiple Agents, you can understand the overall progress without switching tabs one by one.

With the new Tab Configs feature, you can preset a working directory, startup command, theme, and worktree for each tab, and create them with a single click.

The remaining updates center on “reducing the back-and-forth between Agents and the editor”:

1. Unified Notification Center: Notifications for all Agents are aggregated in one place. It supports system-level push notifications, so you don’t need to keep an eye on every terminal window.
2. Code Review Integration: In Warp’s built-in diff view, you can add inline comments, and the comments are sent directly to the currently running Agent session.
3. Context Attachment: Select code snippets or files and feed them directly to the currently running Agent—no copy-and-paste needed.
4. Rich Text Input: In any third-party Agent, use multi-line editing, voice input, and image attachments, as well as Warp’s own /prompts and @context syntax.
5. Remote Control: Publish any Agent session to the cloud, and monitor and intervene from your phone or another computer.

Warp’s focus is shifting from “a better terminal” to “a workspace for programming Agents.” As Agents like Claude Code and Codex become increasingly powerful, the terminal as their runtime environment is instead turning into a bottleneck. Warp is betting on the value of this intermediary layer: not competing with Agents on intelligence, but making the experience of managing multiple Agents smoother.
