Incompatible Extension: Cannot Install reditorsupport.r-syntax on Cursor v1.0.0 (VSCode v1.96.2)

Bug Reports
1

When more recently trying to install the reditorsupport.r-syntax extension, Cursor reports it is not compatible with the current version (v1.0.0, VSCode v1.96.2). This blocks R language syntax support.

:counterclockwise_arrows_button: Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Launch Cursor (version 1.0.0).
  2. Open Extensions.
  3. Search for reditorsupport.r-syntax.
  4. Click Install.
  5. Observe the incompatibility error.

:laptop: System Info:

  • OS: Windows 11
  • Cursor Version: 1.0.0
  • Embedded VSCode Version: 1.96.2

:prohibited: Impact:

Yes – this prevents me from using Cursor for any R-related work. The reditorsupport.r-syntax extension is essential for syntax highlighting and basic support for R scripts.
