Cursor IDE
This is a small but useful quality of life improvement. Currently when you close all chats when you are done with them, it hides the agent chat pane. This is like a bug for me. If I want to hide the chat page, I can use the toggle button. Instead, it should open a new chat thread for us to continue with new requests.
Hey, thanks for the feature request. What OS are you using? And which version of Cursor are you using? It seems this is fixed in version 1.5, which will be available soon.
Windows. Cursor 1.4.2
Try updating to version 1.4.5.
I am in 1.5.4 and closing all chats in the pane collapses the pane, does not open a new chat.
Same feature request: Closing last chat tab does not collapse the side panel
Closing the chat leads to the sidebar closing. I donât think this is a bug, but Iâll discuss it with the team for a possible improvement. However, the OP is talking about a completely different feature.
I believe its the same feature.
This feature request states when you close all chats when you are done with them, it hides the agent chat pane.. Instead, it should open a new chat
My request is asking that When closing the last chat tab. It should open up a New Chat tab instead of collapsing the entire right panel.
The issue is that when you click âClose Other Chats,â all chats, including the last one, are closed on Windows. On macOS, everything functions correctly. Anyway, thank you as well, weâll try to consider all of this.
The bug you are describing is not what I am talking about, nor the original poster (he doesnât even mention âclose other chatsâ). I believe you are confusing this feature request with a different bug. I did test what you are talking about, and it is a bug that still exists in 1.5.4, just letting you know. Also âClose Chatâ via dropdown does nothing for me:
The feature request which this thread is about is different, when you are done with a chat you click the little âxâ on the chat tab to hide it. When you do this for all open chats it closes the chat pane, which is not the expected outcome, when all youâre doing is cleaning up old chats, not trying to close the chat pane, which has its own dedicated toggle button. I hope you can understand.
It is interesting that the âClear all chatsâ dropdown does what this feature request is asking for (clear all chats but keep chat pane open and create a new chat). It is just via the dropdown instead of after closing the last chat by clicking itâs âxâ. So I will just use that from now on.
