The Cursor chat is seriously nonsensical now. When I stop an conversation because I need to give the model some alternate istruction, and submit the instruction, the Send button becomes a square but then nothing happens. The “Todo” is still visible and it’s pulsating, some “context 100%” is shown, sometimes the message gets added to the queue — but no inference happens, and all these ridiculous “innovations” (queue, context display, todo) only make the process more opaque. In February or March, I knew what Cursor was doing. Now I no longer know — because it’s trying to be “smart”, but as is the case with gen AI, it fails often. Basically Cursor stopped providing ME with sufficient context.
Hey @twardoch sorry to hear that!
It’s taken some time to get the behavior right for sending messages while the agent is generating, but in version 1.4 we introduce some changes that make the behavior here better:
-
The default behavior is
Send, which will send the message at the next opportune time for the agent (to make sure we don’t interrupt it while doing things like editing a file). -
You can use ⌥+Enter to
Queue, which will tee the message up after the agent finishes its loop. -
You can use ⌘+Enter to
Stop & send, which will immediately stop the agent and send your message. -
Your default behavior is set in Cursor Settings → Chat → Queue messages.
Let me know if this is helpful at all!
