Adding links to inline editor

[jakejgk]

Thanks for reporting a bug you have found in Cursor!
Please add the following info to help us diagnose your issue:

Check the forum to ensure the issue hasn’t been reported already
Provide a clear description of the bug
When using the inline editor, pasting a link results in plain text. If you move the cursor back to the beginning of the link and type “@”, you receive a dropdown with “Add Link” as an option. If you select “Add Link”, it correctly turns the link into a blue highlighted link, but the text before this link is deleted. I did a poor job explaining this, but I have attached a short video before showing this bug.

Explain how to reproduce the bug (if known)
See above description.

Attach screenshots or recordings (e.g., .jpg, .png, .mp4).

Tell us your operating system and your Cursor version (e.g., Windows, 0.x.x).
MacOS Sequoai Version 15.4.1
Tell us if the issue stops you from using Cursor.
This does not stop me from using cursor.

Hey, try enabling auto-parsing of links in Cursor settings. Press Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + J, go to the Features tab → Editor section.

This is great, i will be sure to turn this on, thank you! This is a nice setting to have checked, but while it is turned off, the bug described above (where previously written text is overridden by the newly created link) is still worth solving I believe, for those that have “Auto parse inline edit links” unchecked.
