Feedback on UI Update (02/28/25)

Hi,

Big Cursor fan overall.

Chiming in to comment that I’m finding the new UI (launched today, 02/28/25) challenging to manage. Specifically:

  1. Command+L opened a new, empty chat before today’s update. That no longer works – after the update, that key command focuses the existing chat.
  2. The key command that replaces Command+L to create a new chat, Command+N, only works if the chat window is focused. Otherwise, if a file is focused, which is common, it creates a new file.
  3. I want to be able to set a default mode. I don’t often use the agent or composer because I prefer the chat control. But Cursor is defaulting to the agent in new chats, which slows me down.

Thanks for all the great work.

Has that been documented? I keep checking docs and several UI parts are still incomplete there. We are trying new options that Cursor offers but even the updated docs are now out of date :slight_smile:

No, we haven’t updated the documentation yet. Hopefully, the information will be updated very soon. :wink:

Thanks – I updated my keybindings, which helped.

I’d love to be able to set preferences for Mode – specifically, the ability to set a default Mode and turn Mode options on or off.

Additionally, “Open in Chat” now defaults to Agent, even if my Mode is set to “Chat.”
