Cannot find toggle chat panel icon

Hey, this isn’t a bug. The icon was intentionally removed in v2.3 in the Agent layout in favor of configurable layouts.

Here’s how to close the Chat panel now:

Quick options:

  • Shortcut Ctrl+Alt+B toggles the chat panel
  • Switch to the Editor layout Ctrl+E. The button is there, so you can close it with one click

Alternative:

  • Click the gear icon (top right). Pick a layout you want, or set up a custom one for your workflow

I get that a shortcut isn’t a replacement for the familiar button. If you want to leave feedback about this change, the team is collecting all UI comments here: [Megathread] Cursor layout and UI feedback (already 290+ comments, so the team will definitely see it).
