Cmd + click not working to jump to function definition in Cursor

Discussion

I just got cursor but for some reason cmd+click is not jumping to function definition. This has been a really annoying issue that’s prevented me from using cursor over vscode. Can you help to solve this?

Hey, sorry you are struggling with this! Which language are you coding with in your project?

The CTRL+Click functionality is powered by the language-specific extension that works for your project, so the reasons for it not working would be different for each language.

I’m using python, should I download some extension manually? What could be the issue?

Try installing this:

Same issue with JS/TS. Does not work at all. I’ve tried disabling all extensions and enabling again. I have the same extensions installed on VS Code and no problem there.

In case anyone else hits this issue, this is how I fixed it:

  1. Open the cmd pallete (cmp + shift + p)
  2. Type in “Install Extensions” and open the Extensions panel
  3. Search for the word “Python” and find the extension with 4M+ downloads
  4. Click “Uninstall” → “Restart Extensions” → “Install”
  5. Profit

Using Kotlin, i have the same plugin in VScode which works, but not in Cursor.

I encountered the same issue while working with TypeScript. However, after installing these two extensions (JavaScript and TypeScript Nightly and TypeScript Hero)and restarting Cursor, the problem was resolved.
I hope this solution works for you as well!

I ran into this issue as I was coding in JavaScript and I finally figured out how to solve the problem. I followed the guide here: How I can make `ctrl + click` to go to definition in visual studio code editor for mac OS? - Stack Overflow

In summary go to press F1, type settings json , then click Open Settings (JSON) , and then do the following:

Add “editor.multiCursorModifier”: “alt”, to your file

{
    "editor.multiCursorModifier": "alt",
}

Basically the IDE gets freed up so that cmd + click now works again. Magic!

I am not sure why my post is being ignored. The answer is correct and fixed the problem for me.

in settings.json add

{
    "editor.multiCursorModifier": "alt",
}
