Create a unified chat history view across all projects

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

As a software engineer frequently balancing multiple projects simultaneously, I often have several Cursor windows open at once. Currently, the chat history and Composer sessions are isolated to their respective windows, which creates a significant workflow bottleneck.

When managing multiple ongoing tasks, it becomes difficult to track which technical questions were asked or which architectural decisions were discussed in a specific project window. This leads to “window hopping” to find specific snippets or context from previous interactions.

Proposed Feature:
A Unified Chat History View that aggregates all chat and agent interactions across all projects/workspaces into a single, searchable interface.

Key Benefits:
Centralized Knowledge: Quickly find previous solutions without remembering which workspace the chat originated in.
Context Switching Efficiency: Reduces the cognitive load and time lost when moving between different project windows.
Searchability: Enables global search across all past AI interactions.
Having a “Global History” panel (accessible via the Sidebar or a Command Palette shortcut) would significantly improve the developer experience for power users managing complex, multi-repo workflows.

Hey, thanks for the feature request.

Right now, chat history is actually isolated per workspace. Each Cursor window keeps its own history separately. Similar requests have already come up:

I’ll pass your feedback to the team. But I can’t share a timeline on if or when it’ll be implemented.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks @deanrie for your prompt reply. I hope these features make it to prod some day.
