At a glance

Remaps, rebinds, or removes a Warp terminal keyboard shortcut by editing the user's keybindings.yaml file in Warp's own normalized key syntax.

  • Works in 2 steps: By action name ("set… → By description or current key combo…
  • Remapping a Warp keyboard shortcut to a new key combination
  • SKILL.md covers Keybindings file, File format, Keystroke encoding rules and Identifying the action, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

This skill writes to the exact platform- and channel-specific keybindings file path Warp reads at launch, never inferring a different location, and creates the file and any missing parent directories if needed; bindings are a flat YAML map of a quoted action name to a key trigger, with none as the value removing a default binding.

It translates everyday key names into Warp's normalized trigger syntax, where modifiers combine in a fixed order, a shifted single letter is uppercase, special keys like space or tab stay lowercase even with shift, and punctuation is the bare character. Because Warp's default bindings are compiled in and not listed anywhere on disk, it picks an identification strategy based on whether the user gave an action name or only described the current shortcut.

When your agent uses it

  • Remapping a Warp keyboard shortcut to a new key combination
  • Removing a default Warp keybinding
  • Setting up a custom shortcut for an action described in plain language

Example prompts

  • “Change ctrl+space to ctrl+s in Warp.”
  • “Rebind the command palette to cmd+p.”
  • “Remove the default shortcut for deleting all text to the left.”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. By action name ("set workspace:toggle_command_palette to cmd-p"): the user already gave you the name — write it directly.
  2. By description or current key combo ("rebind the command palette to cmd-p", "change ctrl+space to ctrl+s"): you don't have the action name…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f571865. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are yaml).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Warp Keybinding Editor loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 520 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

name
change-keybinding
description
Customize Warp keyboard shortcuts (keybindings, keymappings) by editing the user's keybindings.yaml file. Use when the user asks to remap a key combination, rebind an action, change a shortcut, or remove a default keybinding (e.g. "change ctrl+space to ctrl+s", "rebind the command palette to cmd+p", "remove the default for X").

change-keybinding

Use this skill when the user wants to remap, rebind, or remove a Warp keyboard shortcut.

Keybindings file

User customizations live at:

{{keybindings_file_path}}

This is the exact path Warp reads at launch — it is platform- and channel-specific (e.g. under ~/.warp*/ on macOS, under XDG config dirs like ~/.config/warp-terminal/ on Linux, and under %LocalAppData% on Windows). Use this path verbatim — do not infer a different one from the user's home directory layout. Create the file (and any missing parent directories) if it does not exist.

File format

A flat YAML map of action_name → key_trigger. Action names contain a colon, so they must be quoted:

yaml
"workspace:toggle_ai_assistant": ctrl-s
"editor_view:delete_all_left": cmd-shift-A
"workspace:toggle_command_palette": none

Keystroke encoding rules

Triggers use Warp's normalized form — get this exactly right or the binding silently fails to load.

  • Modifiers (in this order when combined): ctrl-alt-shift-cmd-meta-. Cross-platform alias: cmdorctrl- (becomes cmd on macOS, ctrl elsewhere).
  • Letter casing: applies only to single-letter keys. Without shift, the letter is lowercase (ctrl-s). With shift, the letter is uppercase (shift-A, never shift-a). Mixing them is invalid.
  • Special keys: space, enter, escape, tab, backspace, delete, insert, up, down, left, right, home, end, pageup, pagedown, f1–f20, numpadenter. Always lowercase, even with shift (ctrl-shift-space, shift-tab — never ctrl-shift-SPACE). Use the literal word space — not " ".
  • Punctuation is the bare character: cmd-=, cmd-,, cmdorctrl-/.
  • Remove a default binding: set the value to the literal string none. The action becomes unbound.

Translate user phrasing into this form: Ctrl+S → ctrl-s, Cmd+Shift+P → cmd-shift-P, Ctrl+Space → ctrl-space.

Identifying the action

Defaults are compiled into Warp and are not discoverable from the keybindings file on disk. There is no catalog the agent can consult to map a description or current shortcut to an action name. Pick the right strategy based on how the user described the change:

  1. By action name ("set workspace:toggle_command_palette to cmd-p"): the user already gave you the name — write it directly.

  2. By description or current key combo ("rebind the command palette to cmd-p", "change ctrl+space to ctrl+s"): you don't have the action name and cannot reliably guess it. Do not invent one. Direct the user to the keybindings editor (workspace:show_keybinding_settings, default cmd-ctrl-k on macOS; Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts on other platforms) — they can search by description or current shortcut there and either edit the binding in place or share the canonical namespace:action_name so you can write it.

Show full SKILL.md (142 more words)Show less

Workflow

  1. Determine which action to remap and the new trigger (see "Identifying the action").
  2. Read the existing keybindings file at {{keybindings_file_path}} if present. Preserve every existing entry — only add or update the one you're changing.
  3. Write the file (creating parent directories if necessary). Make sure the action key is quoted and the value is normalized (see encoding rules).
  4. Tell the user that Warp must be restarted for the change to take effect — the keybindings file is loaded only at app launch, unlike settings.toml which hot-reloads. They can quit with cmd-Q (macOS) or the equivalent on their platform and reopen Warp.

Examples

Remap an existing custom binding by old trigger:

yaml
# before
"workspace:toggle_ai_assistant": ctrl-space
# after
"workspace:toggle_ai_assistant": ctrl-s

Remove a default shortcut:

yaml
"workspace:toggle_keybindings_page": none

Shift combined with a special key (note the special key stays lowercase):

yaml
"workspace:toggle_ai_assistant": ctrl-shift-space

Cross-platform binding using the cmdorctrl- alias (resolves to cmd on macOS, ctrl elsewhere):

yaml
"workspace:toggle_command_palette": cmdorctrl-shift-P
