You’re right. Sometimes this can be annoying. These buttons will only appear when you’re focused on that specific terminal output or hover over it. Clicking on any other part of the editor will hide them again.

@Jakob Thanks for fixing this :slight_smile:

@Jakob I don’t use the mouse in my workflow, and this is a pretty annoying feature for me. Every time I hit ctrl+c to kill a command (or the command fails for any other reason), I get the popup completely blocking the prompt I’m currently typing in. I think the optimal behavior would be for the popup to go away once you start typing again in the terminal. I added "cursor.chat.terminalShowHoverHint": false to my settings.json to disable the popup entirely, and that fixed it for me for now.

The current UX is overzealous for me as well, constantly getting in the way.

The overlay going away after typing would be nice. To me it is still quite the surprise and triggers a moment of “wait, what’s this text? Did the command fail?”. But no, I just typo-d a command or early exited.

Perhaps another option would be to have this overlay info alongside the “cmd+K to generate a command - cmd+/ to autocomplete” text at the bottom of the terminal.
