Cursor IDE
When the right-side panel is shown in an Agents window, the “IDE->” button is hidden. Ideally it would always be visible. Also, the “Enter Full Screen” button, which is only visible when the panel is shown, does not actually cause the window to go full screen.
MacOS
Hi Fred, thanks for the clear write up and the screenshot.
Both of the things you noticed come from the same control, so let me untangle them.
The expand button in the panel header maximizes the editor panel inside the Agents window. It isn’t the macOS window full screen action, even though the label reads “Enter Full Screen.” When you click it, the panel takes over the entire Agents window, which is why the agent view and the “IDE” button go away at that same moment, and why the window itself stays exactly where it was. I agree the wording is confusing on macOS, since that’s the same phrase the system uses for the green button.
To get what you were expecting:
On always showing the “IDE” button: your post is filed as a feature request, which is the right place for it. Others can add their votes there, and that’s what helps it get picked up.
Kevin, thanks for the response. Out of curiosity, does Enter Full Screen actually enter full screen on other operating systems?
To keep this feature requests focused, I’ll drop the Enter Full Screen feature request from this.
Same behavior on Windows! Enter Full screen button on the right makes the editor panel on the right full screen.
