Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I cannot close the Agents history (chat history with IA). Once you open it you cannot find a way to close it.
It is annoying because it takes space

Steps to Reproduce

Open a repo with cursor where you have three or more past chats. This will show the button View All in the Past Chats section below the agent input where you write and ask things to the model of your choice.
Once you hit View All button a new section right to the agent chat will open with all the past chats as I show in the screenshot. That cannot be closed I presume

Expected Behavior

I should be able to find a button or a shortcut to close that past agents history tab

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report.

You can close it a couple of ways:

  • Switch back to the Editor using the Cmd+E shortcut
  • Close the whole panel with Cmd+Alt+S

Agreed, it’s not the most obvious UX. A close button on the history panel itself would be nicer. I’ll pass this feedback to the team.

Let me know if this doesn’t help.

Hello Dean,

Thank you for your reply. Closing it all using Cmd + E and then reopening the Agents chat using Cmd + l worked.

Thank you
