My Cursor CLI feedback

Text editing-experience not good

This is somewhat understandable as implementing the universal keybindings for text is a mess in the terminal. It is not impossible though, and I really hope you’ll prioritize this.

  1. ctrl-backspace delete whole line, not previous word
  2. No undo
  3. Can’t select text

(1) combined with (2) make this tool completely unusable for me.

I see that you have vim support and perhaps this mode is more complete, but not everyone use vim.

The border around the prompt break selecting and copying text

Function over form please. Draw a nice top and bottom border, but skip the left and right border.

It would help if there was a keybinding for copying the full text (or if the normal text key bindings worked so I could do ctrl-A ctrl-shift-C


Idea: Provide a “edit prompt in EDITOR” command/shortcut. This would elevate some of the pain. Quick prompts is ok to write in the CLI textbox. Longer prompts can be written in EDITOR. I can of course do this manually, but it’s not always obvious from the get-go whether a prompt will be simple or complex. (The border messing up copying make for a toxic combo)
