Cursor actions icons is too small

Cursor’s compact layout of action buttons isn’t ideal for my workflow. I prefer the default VSCode side menu, which allows me to easily track file changes and avoid bloated PRs.

In Cursor’s current layout, I have to click the source control icon repeatedly to monitor changes, which is inconvenient. I haven’t found an option within Cursor to enable the default side menu. Is there a way to turn it on?

Does this work for you?

It says -

If you prefer the normal vertical activity bar you can go to the VS Code settings and set workbench.activityBar.orientation to vertical , and restart Cursor.
