Hi Jessica,

Thanks for the step-by-step guide :D

I'm having an issue though. Don't know why icons are not showing. The font is correctly installed. Any ideas?

I had to edit the starship.toml file myself to include the correct icons. When copy pasting the content from the github, it pasted the symbols as some kind of unknown thingy.

Open the detail of the Nerd Font - Font Book -> My Fonts -> double-click Nerd Font, find the appropriate icons, copy them and paste them into the .toml file. You can edit the "format" variables in the appropriate sections. Specifically I had to manually edit the Apple logo, time icon, cmd duration icon and folder icon. Other icons were fine :)

Thanks for the reply here! Yeah, it's weird. When I copy it myself, I can see the icons, but I do see it shows up as gibberish for other people. I'm not sure how to fix this issue, but I will look into it when I have some free time.

i think there's some subtle rendering issues, too. i had to set my font size to 15 to get it to line up. What are your font size and line spacing?

Even with the font size, every other line seemed rendered slightly off.

For some reason whenever I copy and save the starship.toml file, I'm not getting the powerline theme? Warp is set to custom shell prompt and the starship theme seems to be applied.

However, it's not taking the changes from the saved starship.toml located in ~/.config

It doesn't look like anyone has had this issue in here, any ideas?

nvm, I went through all my homebrew installs in **/homebrew/optand deleted the spaceship directory and now it's working as expected.

Oh right! I forgot to mention that. I'll add that to the blog.

Which Nerd font did you end up installing?

Hey Jessica! Thanks for the great article.
Here's an easy nerd font installation (I'm using "Hack"):
app.warp.dev/block/IB2w9s22avfh3Ef...

Then i just swapped the terminal font in Warp>Apperance>Text>Terminal font.

Quick question. Is there a way to put the cursor next to the prompt instead of under it? hahahhah i'm new to Warp and i'm too used to the mac terminal setup.

The short answer for if it's possible to put the cursor next to the prompt: no.

Unlike other terminal editors, Warp treats the prompt and the input box as two different UI elements. So it's currently not possible to configure Warp to have the cursor next to the prompt :/

Hi people, I am not sure this is right anymore (Settings > Features > Session > Honor user’s custom prompt). Where can I enable this now?

@therubberduckiee I'm sorry, but you might wanna add this to your TODO: update tutorial, to incorporate changes in warp settings!

Hey Luka!, its now under the appearance menu, inside the prompt settings, change the prompt from warp to PS1

New Location for setting

Select PS1
