In “Agents” view having the Primary Side on the right is way too jarring, especially if you’re toggling back and forth with “Editor”
How do you put the Agents on the right where they belong?

hi @cdriver you can find the way in menu View > Appearance > Move Primary Sidebar Left
I don’t have that “Move Primary Sidebar Left” option in my View > Appearance menu.
The checkmarks for sidebars are also broken - when I open Secondary Side Bar, the checkmark stays inactive like it’s still closed.
They completely broke sidebar functionality in 2.0. Tried rolling back to 1.7 but it has similar issues, not exactly the same but still buggy.
In Editor mode I can place the sidebar on the left, but then I lose the agents chat list panel - which is exactly what I need. They removed the ability to have that chat list as a tab inside the sidebar itself in this version.

They stubbornly insist on going against users’ habits.
Thank you @CpPrice for the additional info.
I have filed the issue internally and team is having a look.
Hey folks! One of the devs working on Agent Layout here.
We’re working on allowing you to move the primary side bar left in Agent Layout and will have it shipped in the next day or so.

The vast majority of developers out there like the file explorer on the left, that is the default in most major IDEs. Any chance Cursor decides to makes this the default?
Any update on this? It’s been 2 days and I’m still unable to use Cursor comfortably in either version due to the sidebar position. Would appreciate a status update. Thanks!
Finally able to position the panels in the normal, obvious default layout that 90% of developers expect (files on the left). But why does the Primary Side Bar auto-close when opening a file? Who asked for this behavior? Just give us normal, standard behavior - don’t auto-close/open/move/scroll anything unless the user explicitly does it.
This was not intended behavior — fixed on the latest release that will be rolling out tomorrow. Sorry about the inconvenience here!
Hi! We just released the ability to move the primary side bar (files/search/etc.) to the left in the agent layout if you choose. This will be rolling out to all users over the next week.
