Can we get this updated on a nightly or weekly basis ? Due to the active development upstream this will improve developer experience a lot.
I’m currently missing the autofix implementation that was implemented last week and would be day/night in local devex with cursor + typescript ( powered by typescript native )
Steps to Reproduce
Install typesctipt native extension and see the version is 30 versions behind.
Expected Behavior
Expect it to be 0-1 versions behind.
Operating System
MacOS
Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)
Hey, thanks for the report. The issue you’re seeing happens because Cursor uses the Open VSX registry for extensions, not the official VSCode Marketplace.
Why this matters:
Open VSX often has older versions of extensions than the VSCode Marketplace
Some popular extensions (like Pylance, Jupyter) may be missing or outdated
Extension developers need to publish to Open VSX separately
Solutions:
Update to Cursor 2.1 to get better access to newer extension versions
Install extensions manually by downloading a VSIX from the VSCode Marketplace:
The download the VSIX and install from VSIX workaround worked for me.
However, VSCode has native first party extensions from microsoft like typescript and typescript native.
Since these are first party it would be great if cursor maintained a small list of extensions that it can download from VSIX for us even though open vsx has them missing.
Specifically the type of first party extensions like typescript & typescript native that you would expect a VS code style editor to have working with the best developer experience possible.
Especially since react / typescript is so popular for AI assisted editor experiences like cursor.
