Describe the solution you'd like?

A setting that would set Warp as the default terminal emulator so that you could open files directly from your IDE/Finder into Warp. ITerm2 has this implemented.

Shells and terminal emulators are two different things see this stack exchange post: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/4126/what-is-the-exact-difference-between-a-terminal-a-shell-a-tty-and-a-con

I tried this suggestion with SwiftDefaultApps (Reddit) and changed everything from iTerm2 to Warp, rebuild launched services database with onyx and it works.

I use Shuttle for SSH Shortcuts to my servers and iTerm2 is still the default app to open my connection. But for this problem I found a solution: fitztrev/shuttle#282 (comment)
