Live Status Indicators on Chat Tab Titles

Describe the request

Add a clear activity indicator on each chat tab so users can instantly see which agent is running, waiting, needs attention, or has finished.

Problem

When working on large projects I often run multiple AI agents in parallel inside Cursor, each in a separate chat tab. At any given time I can have 5 to 6 chats open. Today there is no visual signal on the tab itself to tell whether the agent is still running or has completed. I have to click into each tab to check, which wastes time and breaks flow.

Proposal

Show a compact status badge on every chat tab that reflects the agent state.

[⟳] Agent Running
[✓] Agent
[:hourglass_done:] Queued

Operating System (if it applies)

Windows 10/11

Thanks for the suggestion! We’ll take a look

I want to know for next time does it help if I prepare a picture of how I want it to look?
Does that come across better to the developer/designer?

Sure! We are probably going to add this. Thank you :slight_smile:

I am in 1.5.4 and I just noticed this in the primary side bar. The chats have to be open in your chat tabs (not just in history), but then you can see which are active (spinning) vs done/unread (blue). Ideally it would not take up your primary side bar, but this is better.
Now you can search your chats too.
