Discussion: New Features in Cursor 1.7

By the way, could Cursor have a built-in browser?

@andrewh Another suggestion: we should have a “Share feedback” or “Report bug” button inside Cursor. At least for people on Nightly and Early Access.

There are plenty of bugs that I don’t report because I am lazy, and I don’t want to come here to report them.

I’m sure you’d get more bug reports if we had such an option inside the IDE, meaning you’d be able to fix more bugs, improving the experience for everyone.

We have one! Just use the Give feedback command - cmd-shift-p then “give feedback”

But what are we providing feedback on? We have no idea what’s new and what we should be testing. Why not publish early release notes on some other page than the main Changelog page? Come on, guys, can you at least pretend this is a serious project?

  • Accepting diffs is working as before but “undo” sometimes hangs. I’ve seen it keep the red mark for a good 10 seconds and then it goes away. …did the red color change to Burgundy…?
  • A prompt entry bug is back where shift+enter or pasting text anywhere in the prompt ALWAYS goes to the end, making inserts impossible. I have to copy text out of the prompt, change it and paste it back.
  • Command+K (mac) to bring up the inline editor, when the tab is torn-off and on another desktop, will send the cursor back to the main window, even changing desktops if I’m on another desktop. Then I have to click back to start typing.

I, and it sounds many others, would greatly appreciate a list of changes be made available before we download updates (every software company posts them when a version is made live). I may stop updating at the bleeding edge if I am updating blind.

  • accepting a diff now jumps to next diff, this is sort of cool when it isn’t jarring, but it also jumps to the next file which is very frustrating. I accepted a diff to continue work. Being taken to another file is….the worst. Please add a second button to accept and move on so a user can click the one they want. …and in the mean time, revert please!

I want to come back for a 3rd post to escalate this with another issue:

The accept jumps to files but so does undo! I just made a mess by undoing in to a new file without realizing it. Please do NOT jump between files unless I explicitly decide to do so. This feels very out of control. This is serious! It is costing me time, which is the opposite of your primary mission I would think.

I second this.

The text entry is a bug - investigating

Anyone know how to use the Agent Autocomplete beta feature?
I thought it is the same autocomplete we have in the editor, but in the agent’s text area.
It is not working for me.

Thanks, this is great!

I hope you turn it into an easily accessible button in the IDE.

I agree. This feature needs to be an option or really just an extra button.

For those of us that often continue working in a file while going through the diffs, this feature is very disorienting. I normally scroll through the file looking over the changes, making tweaks, and pressing “keep” per diff. The the new change, it jumps around and I have to reestablish where I am at and usually go back since I was still reviewing that area of code. I could not press “Keep” until I am done reviewing everything, but it was nice to press “keep” as I reviewed since it acted as a sort of checklist of what I had not reviewed yet.

I could imagine that pressing the “Keep All” button at the bottom of the page jumps to the next file automatically, but even that should require a manual press of the “Review next file” button.

If someone is going line by line to accept the changes individually, they are more thoroughly checking the code and probably don’t want to be teleported to other parts of the file and new files. This was the whole point of the arrows that would take you to the next diff, which now seems redundant.

I hope Cursor is not levitating to being more of a vibe coding tool where it caters to people queuing tons of prompts and then just spam pressing “keep” and never writing a single line of code manually.

it wasnt also working for but now it started working

@andrewh Agent Autocomplete: Could you please explain this feature?

why are we paying full price for a product that updates every single day?

To be fair, the settings offer you 3 levels of opt-in: regular, something like beta, and nightly. Since I’m not on the regular setting, I don’t know if the items discussed here are rolled out that high. I’d hope not.

@cursorcursor team, Copilot has a really useful feature - a full-screen button on the chat toolbar which shows the current chat in full screen and moves back on a second click. It’s really convenient to quickly switch to the chat content and move back to the code when needed.
It will be good to have it in the Cursor.

It’s easy enough to come off the early-release track, or just don’t hit update if you don’t want to deal with the bugs and constant updates.

Last stable release is 1.6.45: Release Cursor v1.6.45 · accesstechnology-mike/cursor-downloads · GitHub

Then install 1.7 once it’s out of beta

They can get it simply by upgrading VSCode—nothing else is needed.

We disabled this change. Thanks for the feedback on it.
