Hi there,
Is there away to give Cursor full control over editing files without having to keep hitting command-return averytime it performs a task?
I appreciate the security issue surrounding this but maybe there is way to only give it full control over files you specify?
Any and all help greatly appreciated.
Hi 
Docu mentions mainly YOLO/Auto-run feature in the Agent (but. you can configure it also for a custom mode in 0.48 if you have it, its rolling out this week step by step)
You can configure which commands you allow with an Allow list and which you do not allow with a Deny list.
Depending on which version of cursor you have there might be an Auto-run prompt setting which you should leave empty.
There is no filename/folder based filter/limiter. Its recommended to open only the project you need so it focuses on those files, though there is no technical restriction what it can edit on the file system.
Its recommended to use git commits regularly to not lose code.
Also the extension local history would help.
See
As someone else asked for this: in docu they mention all available tools including MCP if you need it.
Thank you for the quick responses. Running the new beta now. And always, thanks for the timely updates.
I suggest starting with smaller changes if you are not used to yolo/auto-run. See how it behaves and what changes you need on your prompt/rules.
Sometimes it needs more details, and sometimes less, depending on the complexity and context size.
I have tried to create custom agents as I don’t seem to be able to access yolo/auto-run. (In truth, I don’t know where to look).
Docu is here for predefined and custom modes, but try to use Agent mode, and configure Auto-run first in Cursor settings.
