Markdown files are opened in preview mode and there’s no button to go back to “editor”/raw mode.
I’ve right-clicked […] and clicked “Disable Preview Editors” but it had no effect. I’ve disabled the built-in markdown extension and also a separate Markdown extension called “Markdown Preview Enhanced” but both had no effect.
In the cases I actually see the [Preview] [Markdown] buttons and click the [Markdown] button, sometimes the markdown is formatted and checklists (“- ” etc) are removed.
It’s impossible to disable this, let alone just default to the markdown/raw mode.
I don’t want the preview mode at all, I’m happy to use an extension for this.
I tried to go from nightly to default builds but it doesn’t appear to have helped.
For everyone struggling with this issue: I learned that ctrl + shift + v helps, but I wish there was a long-term solution to this.
Steps to Reproduce
Who knows, this just appeared a couple of days ago
Expected Behavior
Don’t default to preview mode, just let me edit markdown files as normal. Let me disable preview mode
I’m on the latest stable version and just ran into this issue. This is annoying beyond belief. It’s always defaulting to the formatted version, which I absolutely don’t want, and there’s no way to disable it. This is very frustrating. Note that Ctrl+Shift+V seems to have no effect.
I just came across this, is incredibly annoying to work with MD files. I have never ever worked with md files in preview mode, I work with md files only in raw mode. On top you cannot even see undo file keep file, if you edit a md file, also these preview/markdown buttons show even on non md files. Can anyone tell me the previous version reliable and how to install it?
I am on same “stable” 2.4.22, is this fixed on beta?
I’m pretty sure it fixed itself even while I was on the same version! I have no idea why.
In the meantime I’ve updated Cursor and now I’m on nightly version 2.5.0-pre.16.patch.1 (user setup).
I don’t see the preview button, it’s vanished. “Enable Preview Editors” is enabled. The built-in “Markdown Language Features” is enabled and I also have the “Markdown Preview Enhanced” extension enabled. I don’t understand what’s going on but I’m just happy it’s working
