New model picker makes it harder to switch models quickly

Hey there,

Recently updated Cursor and the Effort and Options are now the foremost options, and the model selection has been moved into a submenu. This means when using the keyboard shortcut for changing models I can’t type the name of the model to switch quickly. I have to navigate to the model name at the bottom, and then can start searching.

Hi @A_M and @Mitch_OM Thanks for your feedback! I’ve shared it with the team.

Hear you loud and clear! I have shared this feedback with the team.

Rollback…this is difficult to quickly remember which model is being used.

Thanks for flagging! You’re hitting the same model-picker layout change folks are discussing here, so I’m merging this in so it’s all in one place and you’ll catch any updates: Model selector in chat. Quick tip meanwhile: on the latest update, Cmd + / (Ctrl + / on Windows/Linux) opens the model list directly and lands you in type-to-search - no extra hover.
