I am using Cursor IDE and I would like to configure it so that every time I open a new window via the file menu, the window opens already maximized:

Currently, it opens in a “restored” (windowed) state, requiring me to manually maximize it every time. How can I configure Cursor IDE to open new windows in a maximized state?

Hey, try adding this setting in Settings Ctrl+,:

"window.newWindowDimensions": "maximized"

This is a standard setting inherited from VS Code. It will make new windows, including File > New Window, open maximized.

If you want new windows to inherit the size of the current window, you can also use "inherit".

Let me know if it helped.
