Hi, in the lasts versions of Cursor, it was possible to open the context window on click on @ to add files, folders…When opened, i was able to select all the files i need, and close the context window.
Now, since a few weeks, when i open the context window, i just can add one file and it close automatically. And when i need to add 10, 15, or 20 files on context, it’s just a big time lost.
Is it a bug ? Or an option to activate/deactivate ?
For me the problem is present since 3 weeks, 1 month
Steps to Reproduce
Go on a conversation on the Cursor IDE.
Click on @.
Add multi files
Expected Behavior
When adding a file in context, the context window have to rest open, not close every time i add a file on context
You’re right, the ability to select multiple files at once was removed in a recent update. I understand this makes your workflow less convenient when you’re adding a lot of files.
Current workarounds:
Drag and drop: try selecting multiple files in the Explorer sidebar and dragging them into the chat input
Use @Folder to add entire folders instead of individual files
I’ll pass this feedback to the team as a feature request to bring back multi-select. This change does impact users who regularly work with many context files.
Let me know if the drag-and-drop approach helps with your workflow!
Hey thanks for your answer ! Okay i try with drag and drop, but in fact it’s less practical for me, because i have clean architecture on my code, and i need some files in every layers, and sometimes all the folder where the file is, is unnecessary. But in waiting of the return of the feature, i use what is possible. Thank you
