It doesn’t respect .gitignore or .cursorignore
Hi @kaandok
To exclude files, click on “Cursor Tab” in the status bar and choose which files to exclude.
You can also set up a list of excluded files in the settings. Here’s an example of the rules:
"cursor.cpp.disabledLanguages": ["plaintext", "markdown", "scminput"]
How does this let me disable Cursor Tab for certain files (such as the ones in .gitignore)? I’m not asking how I can disable it for certain file types.
At the moment, there’s no such option.

I’m curious if you often exclude specific files in your .gitignore file. I usually only exclude confidential files like .env, so if that’s what you meant, your initial question might have been more like: “How can I exclude specific files from Cursor Tab?”
what’s wrong with wanting Cursor Tab to respect files ignored in one of the ignore files? what is specifically hard to understand about this request?
