this is so ridiculous for me, given that I am paying cursor 3000 USD a year, and yet a new version upgrade made me even unable to use my terminal who was there…
(I agree the new agent tab is a bit more beautiful UI wise) but this kind of regression, and the in compatibility to the vs code protocol is very hard to accept.
the new version probably find some ways to shut down all the things inside the second aux bar in a hard way… none of the command from the command plaquette works even…
Hi @LionSR I’m sorry for the unexpected inconvenience.
In Cursor 3.0, the Agents Window uses a different layout than the classic editor. The VS Code secondary sidebar (the second auxiliary bar on the right) is not available there, so anything docked in that panel, including terminals and extensions, will not appear. The Cmd+shift+P surfaces the Action pallette which does behave differently and offer different functions from the command pallette available in the IDE view. If you’re missing the option you’re looking for just head to IDE view first.
You can switch back to the IDE view at any time by going to File → Open Editor Window. That window still supports the secondary sidebar and the terminal/extension layout you had in 2.0. You can keep both windows open and switch between them. More here: Agents Window | Cursor Docs
thanks for the clarification. Are you sure going to the editor view resolves this? I am pretty sure that I was not in the agent window (which I appreciate, and it is the one more similar to codex Mac app but potentially more powerful)
Oh I see, you should still be able to see your extensions in the Sidebar if you have Window Layout set to Editor. Try that and see if that helps. I can see extensions in the left sidebar and I can pin them. Terminal’ I’m not able to put in the sidebar but you can have that below.
