2.0 Am I stuck with chat left, sidebar right? Nope!

After 2.0 update the chat window moved to left and the Primary Sidebar is right.

I don’t see a view setting to change it back to Primary Sidebar left/chat right.
Not able to drag/drop panels.

Am I missing something or did Cursor just decide this for me?

I’ve been a “list left” guy for 25 years…now I have to view my folder/file tree on the right?
If yes, that’s FUBAR.

Am I just missing the panel layout settings?

YES I was missing. Click Editor.

killing me. can’t get the freaking ai out of my face. maybe it’s not cool to want to actually right code any more. i feel old. thought helpful assistants were there when you need them and otherwise stayed out of your way. if cursor team doesn’t feel this way i need to find a new ide or whatever your product people call this thing.

while i’m at it - if i get one more update now window covering my temrinal etc output at the bottom of the screen i’m gonna be even more sad. omigod please - don’t remind me every minute and stay out of the way of my work. seems basic for a TOOL.

omigod. view → appearance → show custom title bar reveals toggle between agents and editor. never knew it was there. clicking editor gets my back to a more traditional ide view. i didn’t change that any time recently so while possibly a user error situation, the 2.0 upgrade clearly introduced something that triggered this agent-on-left view that i felt stuck in. not good.

@fpmb I don’t have this in “view → appearance”, maybe you’re using an extension or something?? I changed the json setting “workbench.sideBar.location” from left to right, quitting cursor and reloading it again and again, still nothing. bug or what?

I have view → appearance, but not show custom title bar.

@martinratinaud is more than annoying…it’s disruptive.

When new UI stuff gets pushed out I try to not get my knickers in a twist and generally try to give things an honest try…but seriously…I HATE it when developers “fix” things that are not broken.

Click Editor to flip back.
