Messed up Chat Tab

[keskin]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

My right side bar used to only open the editor (the chat box), now it opens agent list + chat box). While trying to debug I introduced a secondary bug, when I command+L on code lines a new chat box opens instead of sending the selected lines to the preexisting chat box. Please check the screenshot to see how it appears.

Steps to Reproduce

I misclicked on my keyboard while trying to call a keyboard binding and broke my right side bar configuration, I don’t know what I clicked on unfortunately.

Expected Behavior

Ideally, when I toggle my right side bar I want only an editor (chat box) to appear, and when I command+L I want the code I selected referenced in the chat box on the right side bar (and no new chat boxes)

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Some more screenshots since the post only permits one screenshot.

This is how I want it to look:

This is how it looks if I open using the Toggle agents side bar button on top right (beside the gear icon):

Hey, this is a layout settings issue. Chat is set to open in an editor tab instead of the side panel.

To fix it, go to Cursor Settings → Agents → Default Location and switch from Editor to Pane. Then restart Cursor.

Let me know if that works.

Yes this worked, thank you

Second part to the solution, I figured out how to fix the other part of post (My right side bar used to only open the editor (the chat box), now it opens agent list + chat box))

For macOS gotta click command + E.

I guess I misclicked it initially
