Down arrows on new lines

For some reason, I’m guessing because of my inherited VSCode settings, for each newline in Cursor I see these downwards arrows:

I have tried changing many settings regarding ligatures etc but nothing removes them. It only happens in Cursor, not VSCode

Any suggestions to fix this problem?

Hey, try checking the “End of Line” settings.

I’m weirdly hitting the same thing too.

For some reason two different types of line endings are showing (the normal faded ones showing LF that I normally see in VSCode, and the bright downward arrows that only show up in Cursor). If I toggle show/hide line endings, only the faded ones appear/disappear.

Is there somewhere wlse to override the bright down arrows in Cursor?

Hey, if you rerun Cursor with extensions disabled, are they still visible?

Hi @danperks,

Sorry I’m just replying, I missed the notification.

I tried what you suggested and both styles of line endings disappeared when running with --disable-extensions.

It would be lovely if I could keep the faded ones and ideally keep the other extensions enabled if possible.

Thanks very much for your help :+1:

If they both disappear, it means one or multiple extensions are enabling them, so I’d recommend going through your extensions one by one to see which is causing the double-line endings to show!

Hopefully, the culprit extension has a setting to turn the line endings off!

@danperks Thanks for suggesting extensions, I disabled everything and did not see the arrows, so I started to go through my 70 extensions disabling 1 by 1, until I saw I had this installed! sohamkamani.code-eol I wonder if that’s causing it? :joy:

I have this installed in VSCode too (from probably years ago), but it is disabled. It seems Cursor does not carry the enabled/disabled state of the extensions when moving settings over. Mystery solved!

@tom_hh maybe you have the same thing

@uen you are a gentleman and a scholar! :smile: That was it! :partying_face: Thank you for pointing it out and thank you @danperks for the extension suggestion. I hadn’t got around to sifting through mine yet :see_no_evil:

It would be great if Cursor inherited the enabled/disabled setting of the extensions when importing them, but I’m not sure how tricky that might be to do.

Thanks again both :raised_hands:
