When using Cursor, the “down” time while it generates a response can feel like an awkward pause—everyone’s just waiting.
It would be great to have a built-in feature that lets users play custom waiting music while Cursor is “thinking.” Imagine being able to upload your own sound files—whether it’s the Jeopardy! theme, some Elevator music, to make those pauses more entertaining.
This isn’t a complete showstopper since I can play the sound on my phone, but it adds unnecessary steps—I have to manually start the music after submitting a prompt and stop it when it’s done. Automating this would align perfectly with the spirit of using AI to handle the tedious tasks for us.
I’d like to have a notification sound play when the AI finishes its tasks. This way, we don’t have to constantly monitor the IDE and can focus on other things until we hear the sound, signaling us to return to the IDE.
This isn’t good. If music playback is possible, it means there should also be a way to configure what music to play. Otherwise, listening to the same music all the time can make people feel bored and annoyed.
However, such a feature is far from the main direction of Cursor.
Spent the $20, I 1000% understand if that’s simply not possible (barely possible for me ), however I can confidently say that this is pure value for your money.
Unlimited claude 3.7 access, along with other models, for pennies on the dollar all while being an integrated development environment…
At the minimum, a notification sound for when the agent has stopped seems essential. I have used other tools (typing mind) where you get a sound once a LLM has finished its reply and its very natural and seems an obvious thing for a tool like to have.
I up voted this, but I am in the camp that I want a ding or the ability to fire an event or system notification when it has finished. I can tab away and work on something else in the mean time.
