I have only just installed Cursor, to try it, but it keeps interrupting normal work, mostly when I am developing using PhpStorm. I don’t think that I have changed any settings from installation.

I want to try Cursor, but have other things in front of it in the work queue. Can I stop it from popping up, or do I have to delete it, and re-install it later?
