People come to the forum to complain, not to share positive feedback 
I’d never used Composer before, but since 0.46 I’ve been exclusively using Agent and it has been awesome. Genuinely surprised how well it handles our massive codebase.
Use CTRL + SHIFT + L to add the selected lines to a new chat window in one go. CMD + SHIFT + L for Mac users.
Hmm… 0.47 changelog, no mention of agent? Now am wondering if I got carried away to pay for the year’s subscription.
Copilot has come a long way. Still missing that Tab feature. Dunno. Maybe I’ll switch for a day and see how it feels again.
Cursor need to get that this is a highly competitive landscape, and people will switch at a whim. The models are all the same, the IDE is largely the same (vscode). Where it is tough to build a moat. The last thing you want to do is impose a automagic feature on developers.
I realized I’m not a fan of the latest Cursor. I specifically came here to write this out - I ask it to tweak a function so it loads files asynchronously, which is, in mt head, barely 20 extra lines of code. Yet now, Cursor comes with an AI Agent, haha. It pauses for a bit, then scans entire project and spends 10 minutes rewriting everything: it cranks out some documentation, tests, even a changelog I never had, goes through about 20 files fixing formatting, patches some linter errors, hops online to Google, comes back, realizes it’s written some ■■■■, rewrites a few more files, scribbles its own commentary, and ends up debating with itself, and so on…
I step out for a smoke, get lost on my phone, and when I return, the thing is still refactoring. It even deletes files and creates new ones, then stops halfway because it runs out of iterations. But it still hasn’t solved my task or delivered its grand fantasies, so I press a button to let it continue. It opens a terminal and starts running commands. I get tired of watching and switch to something else.
Ten minutes later, I think it’s time to wrap up, I come back, and suddenly there’s about three hours’ worth of code review changes - some of it cool, some of it total nonsense. There are mile-high piles of new code scattered everywhere, and none of it’s perfect. And I sit there realizing that after 25 minutes of watching it go off the rails, instead of 20 fixed lines I now have 100500 lines of inexplicable mess. It’s like witnessing an OCD fit or some kind of epileptic seizure ))
There is now a setting for this, as @deanrie pointed out in another thread: How can I change default Chat mode as Ask, not Agent - #42 by deanrie
Definitely recommend changing this to avoid unwanted interactions with Agent
