VS Code extension no longer shown in secondary sidebar, next to cursor chat tabs. Im using Anthropic and OpenAI VS code extensions next to my Cursor chat tabs.
Steps to Reproduce
Worked fine on 2.6.22, now with 2.7.0 it’s broken.
I want my Cursor, Claude and OpenAI chats all on right side panel, like before. As tabs. Now I have to move the OpenAI/Claude chat to separate activity windows next to files, which wastes a lot of screen real estate.
Hey, this is a known limitation of the new Glass layout that shipped in 2.7.0. Glass replaces the auxiliary bar secondary sidebar with its own panel system, so extensions like Claude and OpenAI can no longer show up as tabs next to Cursor chat.
Right now, those extensions need to run from the Activity Bar left sidebar. The functionality is still there, it’s just in a different place.
There’s already a main thread for this request: Secondary Sidebar not supported. The team is aware of it. There’s no timeline yet, but your report helps with prioritization.
Hi, how do we relocated extensions like Claude Code & Codex from the sidebar to the activity bar ?
Currently I could find anything in neither the settings.json that works (in both user & default settings, switching to "claudeCode.preferredLocation” to “panel“ didn’t work neither), nor in the extensions settings, nor anything on the current Cursor UI to do that. I also tried uninstalling the extensions, then reboot Cursor but didn’t changed anything neither.
