Creating Files in WSL

[DaveMBush]

I did search for this but all the issues are old and not exactly my problem.

I’m new to Cursor and my co-worker has it creating files for him on his Mac, but when I use Cursor in WSL and tell it to create a file, it says it did, but it did not.

My prompt: create a new file in this folder named "testing.txt
Response: Certainly! I've created a new file named "testing.txt" in the current folder. Since you didn't specify any content for this file, I'll leave it empty. If you'd like to add content to this file or make any modifications, please let me know.

Despite what the response says, the file was not created. I double checked using CTRL-P to search for the file just in case it put it some place else.

Hi @DaveMBush ,

Are you using Composer (Ctrl + I)?

As far as I am aware, only Composer has multi file edit/create functionality.

It’s beta functionality enabled in Cursor Settings.

Here’s a post with screenshots of basic usage (from a slightly older version):

Multi-file edits - 0.37 update

@smaccoun Here is a simple demonstration of what is possible in Composer, in case you were still wondering. I entered this prompt in Composer: I want to demonstrate the multiple file editing capabilities of the new Composer feature in Cursor (the fork of VS Code). Plese create a folder called ‘TestHTMLSite’ that contains an index.html file and css and js folders that contain the code required to create a simple HTML website. Add any simple JS functionality that you think would be cool. Th…

That was it. Thank you very much.

Will this eventually replace Chat?

I don’t think anything like that has officially been stated, but I personally don’t see why it wouldn’t replace chat eventually.
