Keep File View as the Main Focus When Switching Projects/Agents

Hello guys, I love this screen. Having all my projects, agents, code, and files in one place is super convenient.

One thing I’d really like, though: when switching between Projects and Agents, I’d prefer the file view to stay in the center as the main focus, rather than the Agent view.

For me, this screen could basically replace browsing through projects using the Mac Dock/Finder. Keeping the files front and center would make that workflow much smoother.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. That’s a great use case, using this screen as the main browser for projects and files.

Right now, the Agents Window keeps the agent panel in the center by default. That’s intentional, and you can’t switch the center panel to the file view in this screen yet. If you want a classic code-centric layout with code in the middle and files on the side, switch to the Editor Window: Cmd+Shift+P or Ctrl+Shift+P then type Open or Focus Editor Window. As an alternative, you can launch with cursor --classic.

There’s already a thread with the same request to keep the file view as the main panel when switching Projects or Agents. It’s worth adding your vote here: Agents Window Customize Layout

Let me know if the Editor Window workaround fits your flow.
