Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Previously, by pressing Ctrl + Tab it would cycle between editor tabs. Now, it only goes to the next tab, and once it reaches the end, it stops there, not cycling the same way as before.

Steps to Reproduce

Open 2 files and press Ctrl + Tab. It doesn’t cycle between those.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known regression. After Chat and Composer moved into a separate editor group, if the Agents or Chat sidebar is closed, tab switching stops wrapping and gets stuck on the last tab. We’re tracking the issue, but I can’t share an exact fix timeline yet.

For now, here are two workarounds:

  1. Keep the Agents or Chat sidebar open. In this case, wrapping works like before.
  2. Rebind Ctrl+Tab to the in-group commands in keybindings.json. These always cycle within the active tab group and wrap correctly:
{ "key": "ctrl+tab", "command": "workbench.action.nextEditorInGroup" }
{ "key": "ctrl+shift+tab", "command": "workbench.action.previousEditorInGroup" }

Let me know if this helps. Once there’s an update on the fix, I’ll reply in the thread.
