Nothing happens when I click “Cursor: Open Chat”.
However, I found that “Show Cursor AI Chat” can open the chat window as expected.
But it doesn’t bring the code I have currently selected into the chat input box, which I think is what the "Cursor: Open Chat " command is supposed to do.
Same issue here
same here, would not know how to evaluate this feature during the trial if it wasnt for this thread tbh
Hey @liby
Why aren’t you using shortcuts?
Open chat:

Thx. I am using it, this report is just to provide feedback on this command that can cause confusion, as not everyone knows how to use shortcuts.
I think the original intention of setting this command was also to achieve the same expected effect as shortcuts.
I changed my shortcut because i’m used to using Cmd + L to select a full line in VS Code. Now my new shortcut and the command both do not work…
Thanks for the report. Cursor: Open Chat should be working as of 0.42.
Please let me know if you’re still running into issues.
Can you confirm you’re on 0.42?
It’s working now, thank you.
However, I’ve noticed that if I open a file and select a portion of code, Cursor: Open Chat doesn’t bring this contextual information into the CHAT. On the other hand, the Cmd + L or Ctrl + L shortcut can do this. Is this the expected behavior?
The New Chat command should start a chat with your current file. Open Chat will just toggle open the sidebar.
Cursor AI Chat is not working for me and it’s the same issue for another team member who’s connecting from a different city. This probably is a common issue across the board. I appreciate if there’s someone from Cursor.com on this forum that can look into this issue, please. Thanks
I just checked, and it’s working now.
In any case, what I did was, installed the latest version of Cursor and logged out of Claude.ai and logged back in. I’m not sure if that made any difference, or it was a common problem across the board that Cursor team fixed it!
