Hey, now you can change this in the Cursor settings.

Thanks @deanrie ! And now future people who do a web search to see if this setting exists will see your post :slight_smile:

Iā€™ve noticed that when opening a project for the first time or reloading the window, the default display is still agent mode, regardless of whether I set the default mode for new conversations to agent or ask. This is somewhat frustrating, and I donā€™t know if this is a bug or a ā€œfeatureā€ (lol).

Pretty sure itā€™s a feature, lol. Clearing the cache might help.

ā€œWhen I set the default mode to ā€˜askā€™, it only applies when starting a new conversation. But if I reload the window or restart the editor, it reverts to ā€˜agentā€™ mode. Isnā€™t that strange? Why not allow the editor to open directly in ā€˜askā€™ mode?ā€

This new ā€œfeatureā€ of being able to set the default mode is pretty much useless. If it doesnā€™t actual pay attention to those settings when starting a new chat, what is the point? Does the definition of ā€œdefaultā€ mean nothing?

You need to be able to set the chat mode to ask and have it respect the setting. This has caused a lot of wasted time.

This issue was fixed and the fix was removed a while back. Is there any reason why?

Many devs including myself donā€™t trust agent mode to make changes on our behalf and always use the ā€˜askā€™ function. Itā€™s really annoying having to switch this in every new chat.

I have the same issue. Do we know if thereā€™s an open bug for this issue, so we can expect a fix ?

same issue, still for months. seems like its time to say goodbye to cursor

This issue persists ā€” Cmd + Shift + L still opens a new chat in Agent mode, ignoring the Default Mode configuration :frowning:
