I have suddenly stopped having “Agent” and “Editor” buttons in the top right of the toolbar in cursor?
These where great, i dont see any reason why i have lost them, there was no update to change them (as far as i can see). I do have a horizontal arrow icon, that seems to do the same thing, but it is not very usable being in the wrong place, and moves when you click it.
I know there is a key command E on mac, i guess i can learn to use this, but its still not so good.
am i missing a setting i have changed? is it a bug? has it been removed?
Steps to Reproduce
Not sure you can
Expected Behavior
see the buttons in the left of the tool bar text “Agent” “Editor”, the modes.
Hey, thanks for the report. This isn’t a bug - in recent versions the “Agent | Editor” tabs/buttons were replaced with a small arrows button in the top-right corner.
You can switch views with that button or the shortcut Cmd+E on macOS (Ctrl+E on Windows/Linux). Rolling back to the old tabs isn’t possible right now - there’s no setting to revert.
I see the 2 arrow button. However, it’s behavior is not consistent.
In Editor Mode: Switch to Agent Layout
In Agent Mode Switch Agent Side
In both cases, it shows the shortcut Ctrl/⌘ + E which does in fact switch between layouts. But while in agent layout, the button just switches the agent side instead of switching to the Editor Layout.
What they’ve done is really a disaster. Don’t they test the GUI before doing a release? Now how are we supposed to know whether we’re in agent mode or editor mode? The same button has two different behaviors depending on the mode, and there’s no way to know which mode you’re in. Who is going to give us back the time wasted having to adopt a different workflow just because someone thought it was better, without testing it or asking the community what they thought?
If you’re in editor mode and click the two arrows on the right, it switches to agent mode, and if you click the two arrows again, it just changes the side of the chat window. To go back to editor mode, you have to go to Settings or press Ctrl+E, but it’s still not very clear which mode you’re in.
same to me.
I try to change to Edit Layout, then it seem that layout changes, but is header tab “Agents” is still shown as active. In addition, SQL server queries stopped to work and the Command Title Bar has disappeared, can’t find how to active it again… totally ■■■■ and a whole morning down the drain
When in editor mode, the icon switches to agent mode:
.
In agent mode, it doesn’t, only re-configuring the layout to mimic edit mode.
In addition, CMD + E is shown here to switch agent side, but still correctly toggles between Editor and Agent Layouts like normal. Clicking the button and using the shortcut has two entirely different functions.
Is it intended that the UI lets you go to agent mode, but not the other way around. Feels like an oversight. I only found this out as it forced me into agent mode this morning and i had to google how to get out.
