Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

Hello, I hope to see support for communication between multiple windows in a cursor, so that my front-end and back-end separated project can communicate and seamlessly integrate. Thank you.

Why not put the two projects in the same folder?

Hey, thanks for the request.

Cursor supports working with multiple projects at the same time using a multi-root workspace. Instead of opening separate windows for the frontend and backend, you can:

  • Create a .code-workspace file that includes both projects
  • Open it in a single Cursor window
  • The AI will have access to both codebases in one shared context

More details: Can Cursor IDE read from 2 projects and work on 1 project for copying code?

Alternatively, you can put both projects under one parent folder (for example, a monorepo structure), as @lili suggested above.

Could you clarify what exact “communication between windows” feature you need? That will help us suggest a more specific solution.
