Warp: Cross-Window Tab Dragging Now Available on macOS and Windows

Cross-Window Tab Dragging Ships to Stable

Warp has promoted cross-window tab dragging from Preview to the stable channel on both macOS and Windows.

What Changed

Previously, Warp users could reorder tabs within a single window but had no way to move a tab into a different window or detach it into its own. With this release, any tab can be grabbed and dropped into another open Warp window, or dragged out entirely to open as a standalone window. The live terminal session transfers intact: running processes, scrollback history, and pane layouts all survive the move.

Bug Fixes Bundled for Stable

Four edge cases were addressed before stable promotion: inactive panes not transferring on Windows (fixed via a child_view_ids mechanism); gesture cancellation on back-and-forth drags (now shows a lightweight preview when hovering over the source); duplicate drop zones in vertical-tab mode (now only the active layout component accepts drops); and preview window visibility on Windows (now correctly hidden when dragging over a target window).

Why It Matters

Multi-monitor workflows and project reorganization become significantly smoother. The previous workaround required opening a new tab in the target window, relaunching the process, and closing the original, losing all scrollback. Cross-window drag-and-drop eliminates that friction entirely.
