Hey @Benjamin_Young, thanks for the update. Some cases were fixed in 3.16, but it looks like not all code action commands are covered, so I want to dig into your specific case.
To take a closer look, could you share:
Which extension or language is failing (Dart, rust-analyzer, ESLint, TypeScript, or something else)
The full error text from Extension Host, the line Actual command not found, wanted to execute ...
Your exact version from Cursor > About
Also please confirm the error happens only when you trigger it from the Quick Fix menu Cmd+. or Ctrl+..
For now the workaround is the same as earlier in the thread. Running the same action via Command Palette Cmd+Shift+P goes through a different path and works. For linters, fix on save also helps, or running the tool from the terminal.
Once you send the details, I’ll check your specific case and post an update here when I have one.
When using the Cursor IDE, if I trigger the quick options menu via the Alt+Enter shortcut while coding and then press the Enter key to execute an action, nothing happens. However, if I right-click to bring up the options and then select one using the mouse, it works fine. What kind of bug is this?
Steps to Reproduce
I first encountered this bug while coding in version 3.15. At the time, I was advised to either use 3.13 or wait for a fix in 3.16. I’ve since updated the IDE following the latest release, yet the issue persists. We’re already at version 3.17—can this bug not be fixed, or is there a problem with my local configuration?
Hey @jianqing1990, thanks for following up, and sorry this is still biting you. What you’re describing is a known issue with the quick fix menu opened from the keyboard (Alt+Enter / Ctrl+.). Part of it was addressed in 3.16, but we have reports that it can still fail in some situations.
Three quick things that would really help us pin down what’s left:
Right after a full window reload (Ctrl+Shift+P → “Reload Window”), does the first Alt+Enter quick fix work, with only later ones failing?
Inside the Alt+Enter menu itself, does clicking an item with the mouse also do nothing, or is it only the Enter key?
When it fails, do you see any error notification in the bottom-right corner, or any message mentioning “command not found” in Help → Toggle Developer Tools → Console?
Cursor 3.17.8: The quick fix worked the first time I triggered it with Alt+Enter → Enter, but subsequent attempts using the same steps fail.
For example, with ReSharper, the “Extract Method” quick fix fails with:

I’m having the same problem as @jianqing1990. Without any error messages, it only works on the first try and fails afterwards. I reported it in this thread along with a partial workaround.
Thanks everyone, this is exactly what we needed! The pattern you’re all seeing (the first quick fix after a reload works, later ones fail no matter how you select them) matches across Java, ReSharper, cSpell, and C#, and I’ve passed it to the team.
While we work on it, a few reliable workarounds:
apply the fix from the right-click context menu or the Command Palette
use the Quick Fix link at the bottom of the hover tooltip
The original issue, where every Quick Fix from the menu crashed, is fixed in stable 3.17.x builds. If that’s what you’re seeing, update via Cursor > Check for Updates.
The separate case from the latest messages, where after a reload the first Quick Fix works but the following ones fail both via Enter and via mouse click in the menu, now has a fix landed as well. It’s not in a shipped build just yet, but it will roll out in an upcoming release. I’ll post here once there’s a version you can update to.
Until then, the reliable workarounds:
Run the fix from the right-click context menu
Run the same action via the Command Palette using Cmd+Shift+P or Ctrl+Shift+P
Use the Quick Fix link at the bottom of the hover tooltip
Reload Window resets the state, after that the first invocation works again
This issue is still present in Cursor 3.17.21 (Universal) and it is very frustrating.
Such a bad experience for the users and still hasn’t been fixed.
It’s almost a month now.
The workaround you are suggesting is not really an option in daily work. Developers work fast and mostly with the keyboard. You do not spend time right-clicking on every issue or opening the command palette and typing the fix. None of this is a quick or feasible solution.
You have broken a very basic IDE feature that was never broken before.
Please focus first on keeping the IDE stable. Being a software developer myself, it is hard to believe that you first allowed this bug to go to production, and second, that it is taking so long to fix.
This issue still persist on 3.18.9 (Universal) and to be honest this is getting really frustrating to the point that I will have to move back to VSCode.
There have been multiple release since the issue was first reported and this issue is not only for Dart/Flutter but for multiple tech stacks. I believe everyone would appreciate if this will be resolved on priority.
Hey, thanks for the version update. I can see this still repros on 3.18.9, and that it affects not just Dart and Flutter, but other stacks too (Java, C#, ReSharper, cSpell, TS). It’s on our radar, and I want to be honest instead of repeating older promises: despite my earlier post, we don’t have a working fix in shipped builds yet. I can’t confirm a specific version, including 3.19. As soon as there’s a build that actually fixes it, I’ll post here, and not before.
I get that the suggested workarounds (right-click, Command Palette, Quick Fix from the hover tooltip, Reload Window) aren’t a great replacement for fast, keyboard-driven Flutter work. This isn’t a permanent solution, and I’m not presenting it as one.
To help raise the signal for the team, a couple quick questions for anyone on 3.18.9:
Do you see the exact same pattern: after Reload Window, the first Quick Fix works, and then later ones fail?
Is the failure silent (nothing happens), or does the Extension Host log show a line like Actual command not found ... undefined?
I’ve passed the latest version info to the team. I’ll update the thread as soon as I have something new.
I’m on 3.18.25, so I’m not sure if it helps you at all, but for me:
Yes, same pattern.
I get the error in the extension host Actual command not found, wanted to execute ... undefined
hovering my mouse cursor over the lint and selecting Qick Fix from the popup always works
This happens in both local and remote (wsl) sessions. For me it typically happens with the eslint extension because that’s the one I use the most, but I’ve had it happen with other extensions as well.
