Feature request for product/service
Chat
Describe the request
Problem
In Agent chat and Review, the Commit action is too easy to trigger accidentally:
- The Commit button is prominent and close to Review / file actions
- A single click can start the commit flow (and in some cases commit immediately with an auto-generated message)
- There is no user preference to turn this off or require a second confirmation
For teams using Git carefully (review before commit, conventional commits, multi-repo workspaces), accidental commits are costly and hard to undo cleanly.
Proposed solution
Add a Cursor Settings option, for example under Agents or Git, such as:
- Disable inline Commit in Agent chat / Review — hide or disable Commit; users commit via Source Control or terminal only
- Require confirmation before commit — first click opens a confirmation (e.g. “Commit N files with this message?”) before any git write
- Optional: Never auto-commit — always open the full commit dialog with editable message and file list
Use cases
- Accidental click while scrolling or switching between Review files
- Agent finished edits but user still wants to review diff in Source Control first
- Umbrella / multi-repo workspaces where a mistaken commit scope is especially risky
Environment
- Cursor version: [Help → About Cursor]
- OS: macOS 25.5.0
- Context: Agent chat + Review UI after agent-generated changes

Similar UX pain around Review/Commit is discussed in forum threads about misleading commit state and one-click commit without showing message/files — this request is specifically for a user-controlled safety setting, not only bug fixes.
