Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

VSCode added a new setting last year to allow configuring behaviour of middle mouse click in the editor. It is mostly intended to allow to set it to “ctrlLeftClick” which enables smoother code navigation with the mouse. This feature was launched with VSCode 1.105. Cursor uses VSCode extension API 1.128 right now but still this setting does not seem to be working in Cursor though it works fine with VSCode. It would be great if this parity does not exist and all features of VSCode can be used in Cursor.

Thanks for the feedback @Aditya_Agrawal! It’s expected that this doesn’t work right now (the last rebase came before it was added). Shared it with the team.
