Proper multiline editing with full mouse support is the main thing I want that warp has that I haven’t been able find in any other terminal. No enough to make me switch to a proprietary terminal though.

ctrl+x cltr+e

Works on every terminal. Vim and EMACS do support the mouse, you can set your editor to a graphical one.

It didn't work on mine (iterm2 + zsh)! But in any case, I want multiline text input without losing the context of my terminal (so I can still see the command history and the output of previous commands, and can scroll back as necessary). The functionality I've seen before to drop one into a an editor (either TUI or GUI) doesn't allow for this.
