Hi. I’ve been using Cursor for a while now and it’s really great.
One thing that really irritates me, however, is the fact that after installing Cursor, when I run the "code . " command in the terminal, instead of launching my default VSC editor, Cursor is launched.
How do I get VSC back to opening on this command? Cursor is great, but I still want to leave "code ." for VSCode.
You need to reinstall the “code” command from normal VSCode so that it overrides it again.
Weird, but I can’t see this command. But isn’t this instruction only for macOS? I am working on windows
Hmm. You should also get the option to install the “code” command when running the VSC installer.
If you’re in Windows, open Run (Win+R) and type:
%localappdata%\Programs\cursor\resources\app\bin
Delete two files:
I hope this helped.
I have the same problem. Not sure if I should reinstall the Appimage by deleting it or something else
This solved the problem for me.
My issue was that after installing Cursor in Windows, the “code” command in WSL2 stopped working.
The error message was “Unable to determine app path from symlink : /mnt/c/Users/Ivan/AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/resources/app/bin/code”
After deleting the 2 files and launching “code” in wsl2, VSCode started installing itself again.
This is so obnoxious. Just highlights the fact that there is no reason this shouldn’t be an VS code extension rather than piggybacking on top of Code breaking things left and right.
Worked. And a note to the devs, this intrusive behavior is only irritating and makes me look harder for other tools.
