Moving cursor settings to a different computer?

Discussion
1

I’ve searched this forum and I understand that there’s no “export/import” feature, nor any way to sync settings (but correct me if I’m wrong)

However, what would be the way to manually bring settings over to a new machine. I’m on Windows 11. Has anyone done this before?

Thanks

old machine: cmd+shift+p > export profile

new machine: cmd+shift+p > import profile

Let me know if any settings/preferences are missing

Hi all, I am glad I found this feature! I performed an export but am not sure where the file is created. I checked my Documents, Desktop, Downloads, my home folder, and even in the Cursor app’s Package Contents. Would someone smarter than me let me know the location? :slight_smile:

search for: \defaultSettings.json

You might want to install:

“everything”

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. First time using anything like VSCode, having been on JetBrains IDEs my whole life.

This doesn’t work for me. When I import the new profile, and hit create, it just hangs there after installing extensions. Has anyone else experienced this on the latest cursor? I can share a video if that helps.

Same, of course. Most basic features rarely work -_-

Can confirm, import of settings doesn’t work. Sad.
