Dear Cursor Team,
I’m a regular user of your excellent Cursor IDE and greatly appreciate the integrated AI assistant functionality. However, I’ve noticed that the chat interface lacks configurable formatting options, particularly for text wrapping.
Feature Request Details:
- Add user-configurable word wrap settings for the chat interface
- Allow customization of chat text width/margins
- Provide options to adjust font size and line spacing in the chat window
- Consider adding a “compact mode” option for the chat interface
Current Limitations:
While I can configure word wrap in the editor and markdown preview through settings.json, these settings don’t extend to the chat interface. For lengthy discussions with the AI assistant, this creates a suboptimal reading experience.
Use Case:
When working with complex code explanations or lengthy AI responses, properly formatted text with appropriate line breaks significantly improves readability and reduces cognitive load.
Implementation Suggestion:
Consider adding a “chat.formatting” section to the settings.json file with options similar to those available for the editor and markdown preview.
I believe this enhancement would improve the overall user experience and make the Cursor AI assistant even more effective for collaborative coding.
Thank you for considering this request.
Best regards,
David MK
