Add option to center Command Palette to middle of screen

Coming from my vscode setup, this is the one feature that irks me all the time. It;s jarring when I break eye contact from the middle of the screen and look up every time.

Hi @VihangaFTW and @PhenomenaPh

Thank you both for the feature request.

Could you clarify what you mean with this feature request as the Command Palette is centered on top middle of the screen where it usually also shows.

Not sure what you are seeing, but it is centered for me just like in


VSCode.

middle as in middle of the screen. Screenshot taken from vscode.

Hi,
I meant like how u can configure the vertical alignment of the palette to the center of the screen in vscode like this:

Oh in the actual middle. Not sure how that would work but cant you apply the same display settings for the Commmand Palette like in VSCode?

Install this plugin

Install and enable the plugin

Then create a custom.css file somewhere on your computer.
Add the following code:

.quick-input-widget {
    position: absolute;
    top: 50% !important;
    left: 50% !important;
    margin-top: -100px !important;
    /* Half of the height */
    margin-left: -150px !important;
    /* Half of the width */
}

Then follow the instructions in the plugin info.

Note, I got this warning which it does mention in the plugin page.

No, you cant do it because this feature was added in vscode in 1.97 version. Cursor has 1.96

will cursor ever update to 1.97 version?

Yes but the timeline is not yet announced. This has been requested in several threads already and the Cursor Team is aware of the request.
