Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, thanks for the report. Glass layout in Cursor 3.x is a new UI that’s still being actively worked on. Some features aren’t available there yet, including Ctrl+K inline edit and extensions in the secondary sidebar.

As a workaround, you can switch to the Classic layout. Everything works there like before.

The team is aware of these limitations. There’s no specific ETA yet, but every report like this helps us prioritize.

I couldn’t find any documentation or method for this, and I can’t switch back to the old UI now.

I tried using Ctrl + Shift + I and even downgraded to version 2.6, but I still couldn’t switch back to IDE mode.

To switch to the Classic layout:

  1. Open Terminal (not inside Cursor) and run cursor --classic. This will open a window with the familiar IDE interface.
  2. Or use the menu: File > New Window. The new window should open in the standard mode.

In the Classic layout, both TypeScript type checking and Ctrl+K inline edit work like before.

Glass is the new interface, and some features (including extensions in the secondary sidebar and inline edit) aren’t available there yet.

Let me know if you were able to switch.
