My Default Mode is “Ask”. When I open the tab the first time, it is in the Ask mode, but if I open a new chat (by clicking on “+”, or with Ctrl + N) it opens as “Agent” mode.
THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS. I’M OPENING THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I’M VERY TIRED OF THIS.
I ALWAYS HOPE WITH EVERY UPDATE THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE FIXED, BUT IT IS NOT!
Steps to Reproduce
Set the Default mode to any other type than Agent. Try to open a new chat and you’ll see it will ignore and create a new chat as Agent instead of your defined option.
Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue. The Default Mode setting really doesn’t work when you create a new chat in the Agent panel. No matter which mode you pick, new chats always open in Agent mode.
The team knows about it and is working on a fix. For now, you can switch modes quickly:
Shift+Tab to toggle between Ask and Agent
Or use the mode selector at the top of the chat panel
I get how frustrating this is. It’s been around for a while. I’ll keep you posted if there are any updates on the fix.
All my new chats start with the mode Agent, I would like to start with Ask.
Steps to Reproduce
I tried to modify that in Cursors settings → Agents → Default Mode, but nothing I select changes the mode in a new chat. I’ve tried quitting and reopening Cursor, same output.
Operating System
MacOS
Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)
