Bug report : Env vars from a terminal aren’t inherited by Cursor anymore (they may be needed by VSCode extensions for example).

Working version : latest stable version 1.5 (I downgraded back to it)

Not working version : Early Access

Version: 1.6.5
VSCode Version: 1.99.3
Commit: c0d91a4e0791b64e8577d89bae68b43c671b8610
Date: 2025-09-10T17:15:11.595Z (6 hrs ago)

Reproduction:

export EXAMPLE=1
cursor .
# I have a VSCode extension that displays `JSON.stringify(process.env)` in the OUTPUT panel.

Also, unrelated but I did cursor . once and it opened cursor-agent somehow??? Then I asked cursor-agent to open the current folder in cursor. It ran cursor . and it opened my folder! I quit. Then cursor . was properly opening the IDE again. Very strange.

Hey, try using the shortcut Cmd+Option+F. Also, it’s likely unavailable because you have the file open in read-only mode.

Hi I’ve noticed the agent terminals are read only now, I was really enjoying being able to use the same terminal as the agent to help out when it gets off track and to eg. repeat commands that were previously run.

Any chance this can be re-enabled at least as a setting?

Sometimes the Agent stops mid-execution without any notification, leaving a bunch of tasks unfinished in the to-do list.

After instruct it to continue, you’ll only receive a message once the task has been fully completed.

I tried, but I don’t find the agent window’s advantage,
anyone can teach me and show some case?

it says that I can drag a view into the left side bar, but I don’t know what should I drag into.

Activate the Agent Window, drag the window to your second monitor.
Now you can always have an eye on your agents and a bigger workspace on your main monitor.

I can also turn the chat window into an independent window, so what are the advantages of using the Agent window?

and I don’t know Agent window’s the left side bar’s usage.

MCPs are now working better. The multi feature is running smoothly at the moment. Cursor’s own features like read_file, websearching, etc. are working better. I hardly got any errors. Terminal commands work better and faster. The current version update is entirely user-oriented improvements, and I think it turned out really well. Thanks.

I’m still testing. These are my first impressions after 4 hours.

Update: I can’t close the terminals opened by the agent in the chat section.

Please choose different default key binding for this new agent window. As Ctrl + E overrides common Go To file bind

I will try to answer here as many posts as I can address that were not yet answered:

@bintocher grep is the code search tool for AI so it can efficiently search by patterns

@yeddy @PhilippeFDS @Alex0007 thank you, we will forward the feedback to team.

@tangjun @trevorSmart Agent Window is there for those who do not use the full IDE as it gives focus on the AI chat conversation and related views. As you can have multiple Agent chats running the left sidebar gives you an overview and allows switching. You can close the sidebar it if not required.

@QTom @mehmet-py @yakovw Could you post a full separate Bug Report with more info Create Bug Report

@dvv101111 we had CTRL+E for a while in previous versions already. feel free to reassign it.

@condor i’ll update to ver 1.6.6

the question was - why is grep written 2 times in the list?

and I also had a second question - what happened to calling commands - why did they take so long to execute?
this command takes 3 minutes to execute !!!

@bintocher checking internally why Grep twice. Will reply with answer.

For terminal command I would like to ask you to file a bug report for the long duration so we can check more. On my test machines it is fast so seeing more details would help us debug.

how i can create bug report ? or where i can find debug files to send ?
