Describe the Bug After update on latest version, my interface switched to some sort of mixed editor and agent mode (both on linux and windows systems) and now I cannot switch back. I set up default layout to editor (classic) but it doesn’t help in any way. Ctrl+E just switches agent tab from left to…

Hey, thanks for the report and the screen recording. This is a known change in version 2.6. The layout system was updated, and now Ctrl+E switches the Agent sidebar position (left or right) instead of toggling between Agent and the Classic Editor like before.

Hey guys, Any plans on fixing this please? I am using Cursor daily, but changing between Agent and Editor and having the UI reset each time is really intrusive for the workflow, Also, I saw the announcement of Glass? Do you guys plan to get rid of the IDE completely? I mean a lighter IDE would m…

Dear Cursor Team, I like my editor primary sidebar on the right and like others in the thread, I’d developed the habit of switching between the Agent and Editor layouts.
