How can I queue prompts

Support Help
1

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a system where I need to process prompts one after another, in sequence. Right now, when I submit a new prompt while one is already running, it just jumps into the current process instead of waiting its turn.

I remember that there was a way to do it.

Thanks

Hey, please check what settings you have set for “queue messages” in your Cursor settings.

Thanks for the response! Is there an easy way to switch between the two? Sometimes I want to intervene during the AI’s work, and other times I want to wait until it finishes.

Unfortunately, no, but you can just stop the agent at the right moment.

You can also additionally press Enter, this will stop the agent and send messages from the queue.

If you hover over the submit button you see how you can change it based on pressing Alt or Ctrl.

When you press those key modifiers the symbol on the button reflects that change.

This behavior was changed in the latest version.

I actually just created an issue about this because, even with the “Queue” setting, it still sends the prompts immediately. Is this happening to anyone else?
