Can you please update to the latest version and check again?

If the issue still persists, to help diagnose this, could you please share:

  1. Check your installed Python extension:

    • Go to Extensions (Cmd+Shift+X)
    • Search for “Python”
    • Which Python extension do you have installed? (Anysphere or Microsoft Pylance?)

  2. Check for error logs:

    • Open the Output panel (View → Output)
    • Are there any error messages when the navigation stops working?

  3. Quick things to try:

  • Ensure you’re using the Anysphere Python extension: If you have Pylance installed, uninstall it and install the “Python” extension by Anysphere instead. Pylance is not officially supported in Cursor (reference)

  • Reload the window: Try Cmd+Shift+P → “Developer: Reload Window” when navigation stops working

  • Check if it’s a performance issue: If you have a large codebase, the language server may be struggling. You can exclude certain paths by adding this to your settings:

    "cursorpyright.analysis.exclude": ["path/to/exclude"]

Let me know what you find, and we can troubleshoot further!
