Thanks for reporting this! I can reproduce it, and I’ve filed a bug with the team.

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

The right click menu item to rename a chat has been removed. There is now no clear way to rename a chat by right clicking on that chat tab like there was. Please stop removing or moving critical basic UI items between versions.

Steps to Reproduce

Start a new chat, then right click the chat tab. See that there is no “rename chat” or similar option.

Expected Behavior

There should be a “rename chat” option in the right click menu

+1 here. This is very useful to avoid losing track of which chat corresponds to which task.

Oop! Dupe of Can not rename chat - #7 by Colin, which says they have put in an issue.

It looks like they moved the rename feature to the chat history

After opening a new chat, navigating to chat history, hovering over your chat and clicking the ellipsis you will find a Rename feature in the drop down menu

Click rename, a rename text box opens - rename your chat and voila - back to pretty name chat

I guess

[Noland]

nooooo I used this so often. too many clicks on tiny things!

A chat history button doesn’t exist after the latest update, though.

Found a workaround for this: rename in agent sidebar:
