How to configure Cursor to execute Cursor Composer terminal commands in the integrated terminal (bottom panel) instead of the pop-out terminal?

When I use Cursor Composer to execute terminal commands (like virtual environment activation), they run in the side pop-out terminal. I would like these commands to run in the main integrated terminal at the bottom of Cursor, so I can see the current state (like (venv) prefix) in my main terminal session.

Is there a setting or configuration to redirect Cursor Composer commands to the integrated terminal?

Hey, I don’t believe we have an option for this right now, but I like the idea, this makes more sense from some commands, like running the app itself!

I’ll add this to our internal feedback list, to see if we can add this in a future update.

I was trying to do this for a little bit, then realized it must not be the default behavior haha. Also would love to see this added in. I tried out WARP and it’s neat, but Cursor could literally do essentially the same with a terminal, just needs a bit of the gap bridged.

I would also love to see Cursor using the integrated terminal rather than those inline commands.
