the “Reveal in File Explorer” context menu that vs code has to see the files in the operating system explorer is missing in cursor.
This is hugely frustrating, becuase there are so many things you can’t do inside the editor’s file explorer view. This is one of the many reasons I considering quitting cursor as soon as ai tools in vs code get a little better.

This used to be available in older versions of Cursor, no idea why it was removed. Please bring it back!
Hey, which version of Cursor are you using? I just checked, and this feature is available in version 1.4.6.

I’m on 1.4.5 . 1.4.6 doesn’t seem to be available yet? Cursor says it’s up to date, and the exe to download from cursor.com is of 1.4.5 as well.
It works for me on version 1.4.5 as well.

I’m in windows, maybe that´s why?
I also checked this on Windows, and it’s available there too.

I’m using WSL in Windows, that’s when it doesn’t work.
For pure Windows projects (not via WSL) it does work.
But in previous versions it was working with WSL as well
Thanks for the additional info, we’ll look into it.
Hi @davidlbangs1 and @tomups , thank you for this request. We’re working on adding it to the extension.
We released version 1.0.10 of the Remote WSL extension, which adds in this functionality. Could you upgrade to the latest version?
