Cursor IDE

Describe the request

Describe the request

Canvas view has no UI to show, copy, or reveal the local path of the underlying .canvas.tsx file.

Canvas files live outside the workspace at:

~/.cursor/projects/<workspace>/canvases/<name>.canvas.tsx

They do not appear in the project Explorer, and Cmd+P / Quick Open does not find them. The rendered Canvas tab and the Recent sidebar are not normal editor tabs, so right-click has no Copy Path / Reveal in Finder. The top-right “Canvas” (pen) control only switches source vs preview; it still does not expose file-path actions.

This makes it hard to open the source in Finder, copy it into Obsidian/git, or tell another tool where the file is.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open any canvas from Canvas view → Recent (e.g. Clash Md Vs Flclash).
  2. Right-click the canvas tab, or a Recent item, or the canvas surface.
  3. Look for Copy Path / Reveal in Finder / a visible filesystem path.

Expected

Same file actions as a normal editor tab:

  • Copy Path
  • Reveal in Finder (macOS) / Reveal in Explorer (Windows)
  • Optional: show the path in the toolbar or status bar

Recent items should also expose the path (context menu or tooltip).

Actual

No path is shown. Right-click menus do not include Copy Path or Reveal in Finder. Users have to already know the hidden ~/.cursor/projects/.../canvases convention.
