Manual Mode - Bring it back

Since Manual Mode was removed and then added back, it’s been broken for inline edits. To apply inline edits now, I have to use a Custom Mode — but in Custom Mode, the only option is “Edit and Re-apply”.

That means a single change becomes an endless loop of changes being re-applied over and over. This agentic, constant-iteration behaviour is exactly what I’m trying to avoid. I just want a mode that:

  • Runs once

  • Applies the changes

  • Stops

A proper tool to augment developer ability rather than trying to “replace” it. The current design is beyond frustrating, wastes time, and removes control from the user.

Please bring back a mode that supports single-run, inline edits, using context I specifically provide without forcing repeated, unwanted re-application.

Please for an update focus on fixing bugs and polishing the UX.

+++++++++++++++1 - Holy ■■■■ Cursor, why would you ever remove such a basic feature.

This platform is becoming a Vibe Coding Platform. Forgetting about the devs who use this to assist in code.

Totally in agreement. Cursor is borderline unusable now, and is far slower. Please bring this back.

need Manual mode back!
