Hey, Classic mode isn’t going anywhere. Cursor still ships the familiar editor layout with the AI chat in the sidebar.
If Cursor opens the Agents Window on startup, you can get back to classic like this:
- Start Cursor with
cursor --classic. This is the most reliable way to keep Classic mode on launch. - Or go to Settings → Features and turn off Open Agents Window on startup.
- Anytime, press
Ctrl+Shift+NorCmd+Shift+Nto open the classic editor window.
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll pass your preference for the classic layout to the team. If you want, you can also add your vote in the main redesign thread: Cursor 3: Agents Window
