Add Minimap (or visual navigation markers) to Agent Window for better message distinction

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

It would be really helpful if Cursor could add a Minimap feature to the Agent Window. Right now, user messages and Agent replies have very similar styling, making them hard to distinguish when scrolling quickly through long conversations. I’ve lost my place more than once—after an Agent finishes responding, I scroll back up and struggle to find exactly where that Agent reply started. It would be much clearer if it worked like in the Claude and Codex apps.

Operating System (if it applies)

Hey @Iotar_Phx!

Thanks for the feedback! We do want to make chats more “glanceable” and easier to navigate.

We’ve also just added in-chat search, so you can press Cmd/Ctrl + F to find what you’re looking for in the chat. Make sure you’re using the latest version and give it a try.

We’ll keep looking for ways to improve this!
