In Cursor, Search is always in the sidebar and cannot be moved to the bottom panel; in VSCode, it can be done by drag and drop.

You can go to the VSC settings and set workbench.activityBar.orientation to vertical. This will give you VSC’s original UI back.

I cannot believe there aren’t more messages in this thread.
You write code from left to write, you search the code and view search results of sometimes long effing lines from left to right.
Well lets put search bar in a 200-300px left sidebar and not make an option to move it. Great!
So much work to implement ai before adding basic features that are used 100 times a day.
You want people to seamlessly migrate from VS Code to Cursor, right?
Then leave VS Code’s interface without change and add your AI chat to the right - that’s it.
Search view already moves to the bottom panel on my Cursor, BUT NOT THE CURSOR CHAT view. My bottom panel is where i keep all views but the editors, like “Folders”, “Search” “Terminal”, “Console”, “TODOs”, etc… THAT is the place for the “Cursor chat” also.
