Add Setting to Control Auto-Opening of Files When Agent Makes Changes

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

When Agent modifies multiple files, it automatically opens each one in the editor. This disrupts my workflow when working on large tasks with many file changes.

Feature Request: Please add a setting (similar to “Auto-apply Edits” or “Auto-run”) to control whether Agent automatically opens modified files in the editor.

Something like:

Agent: Auto-open Modified Files (toggle on/off)
Why: Different users have different preferences - some want to see each file as it’s modified, others prefer to review changes through the diff interface without files popping open. A setting would let everyone choose their preferred workflow.

Question: Does this setting already exist somewhere that I’m missing?
