1.5: Please be quiet!

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Cursor is not bleeping at me all the time. I dont want this. Whenever it pops an action required, I get a beep.

Notifications and sounds are disabled in cursor settings. Looks like missed a check on commandline actions?

Steps to Reproduce

Ask a prompt, when it decides it wants terminal input it beeps.

Expected Behavior

Silence.

Operating System

MacOS

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey! You can disable notifications from Cursor settings - just click the gear icon

Hi Andrew, they are disabled? Settings→cursor settings. Or is there a shadow set somewhere?

This is all I know of

Under general settings

I had this same issue last week. It appeared on both VSCode and Cursor at the same time. After doing some research, it turns out it was an accessibility feature. I don’t recall specifically what the setting was, but it was related to accessibility, and I can’t find it again now in the settings. It was quite buried. Perhaps this helps at least knowing it was related to ‘accessibility’ and that it affected BOTH vscode and cursor at the same time. I do not recall doing anything to enable it, so I assumed it was related to an update. If I find the setting again, I’ll post it up.
