Feature request for product/service
Cursor IDE
Describe the request
Summary
Please allow independent typography settings (font family and size) for the terminal that appears under the Agent window. Ideally, also support integrating or delegating to external terminal applications.
Motivation
The Agent workflow heavily relies on the embedded terminal. On high-DPI displays or for accessibility, users need to tune font size independently from the editor UI. Today the Agent-area terminal may follow global terminal/editor settings in ways that don’t fit this dedicated pane.
Feature requests
-
Agent terminal appearance
- Dedicated settings for font family and font size (and optionally line height) that apply specifically to the Agent-panel terminal, without forcing the same typography as the main editor or other terminals.
-
External terminal integration (stretch goal)
- Optional “open in external terminal” / “use default system terminal profile” so commands can run in the user’s preferred host (e.g. iTerm2 on macOS, Windows Terminal on Windows).
- True UI embedding of third-party terminals inside Cursor may be constrained by platform/architecture; even partial integration (same cwd, env, delegated execution) would help.
Thank you for considering this — it would materially improve readability and parity with professional terminal setups.
