    // woekbench
    "workbench.editor.showTabs": "none",
    "workbench.settings.editor": "json",
    "workbench.activityBar.orientation": "vertical",
    "workbench.activityBar.location": "top",

but vscode works fine:

BTW: why disable “window.commandCenter” by default?

This is likely due to the horizontal activity bar being default in Cursor, which may be overriding some of these settings.

Will flag to the team!

I found that this issue no longer exists in the latest 0.48 version, but you have removed the "workbench.activityBar.orientation" option??? So do you think this bug was caused by providing this option??? Why do you think this option is useless? Your option does not include the menu access icon, which is very bad.

Hey, further discussion on this is going on here, where I will be feeding back once I talk with the team!
