Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

you have to use cursor-agent for the CLI

cursor will open the IDE

Hey, thanks for the report, you need to install the command shell in the command palette.

Now, every time you run the “cursor” command, it prompts, even if cursor-agent has already been installed

You guys changed the default behavior of the cursor command, and this completely broke all of my scripts!

You can simply try to reinstall the shell command, and it should fix the issue.

I’ve tried reinstalling. It doesn’t work. I’m on the beta release, so perhaps that’s what others are experiencing as well.

edit: Issue is fixed after switching and updating back to “Stable”
