Describe the Bug
Until recently, Cmd+Enter in the Cursor chat box meant “Keep” or “Keep All”. Now it still means that if the “Keep” or “Keep All” buttons are available. But if the buttons are hidden and you press Cmd+Enter, then the “Agent mode” switches to “Background” and — if you’re not careful — you suddenly start sending off some “background agents” (in Cursor’s cloud).
This is obviously some dark UX pattern that tries to lure users into some dubious cloud offering that needs extra payment. Terrible.
Steps to Reproduce
Turn on Background agents in prefs, then in Cursor chat box press Cmd+Enter when “Keep” or “Keep All” buttons are not visible
Expected Behavior
Obviously not that
