I saw a video of Theo, and he had this nice thing where at the topmost bar he had a tab for agent and another for editor. I can’t for the life of me figure out why my cursor doesn’t look like that. It’s the reason I switched from VS code.
Attached a picture for reference.
Hey, the Agent/Editor tab feature in the top bar was removed in updates. It’s now replaced by custom layouts.
Here’s how to set up a similar workflow:
Set up layouts:
- Click the gear icon in the top-right corner
- You can create custom layouts with the panels you want
- Save a preset so you can switch quickly
Switch between layouts:
CMD+OPT+TAB(Mac) orCTRL+ALT+TAB(Windows)- If it doesn’t work, rebind it in Keyboard Shortcuts. Search for “View: Switch Layout” and set your own shortcut

The team is also working on improving layout keybindings, so this will keep getting better.
