Open links in Cursor's browser

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

Menu should suggest to open link in Cursor browser (by default, but should be configurable) when I click links from files or Canvas at Cursor.

I remember some menus already have this: Open in Browser, Open in Cursor Browser, but this should be consistent.

Operating System (if it applies)

MacOS

Hi Eugen,

I agree, this is currently a limitation in the IDE. In Glass, it defaults to opening links via whichever option you choose in Open Web Links in Browser.

But this Customizability is not offered currently in the IDE. Interested in hearing some other voices weigh in here too.

can not find where is this:

Found manually, but there is no such options:

Can you check now?

I may have been on a nightly build last week but it’s now live and updated on a wider roll out…

Not present yet on 3.3.12 MacOS. Will keep waiting.

That’s the correct version! Just to clarify you’re checking from Settings in the new Agents view right? If not, make sure to open the Agents View and then go to Settings please, because this option is not visible if you’re in the IDE → Cursor Settings.

Thanks for the clarification.
I was checking in the IDE. :face_in_clouds:
I confirm this setting you have above is showing in the Agents view. :+1:.
For my scenario it makes total sense to expose this in the IDE : Agent is generating a dashboard that I want to open (and see the rendering).
I would like : “Open with Default Browser”. But this is a P2 since I can achieve this differently.

Hi @Eugen_Konkov I took another look at this and it seems like the setting can be influenced from what windows you have open. Can you try restarting Cursor and making sure that you ONLY have the Agents View Open. If you have an Editor IDE view open at the same time, the settings panel might not render that particular option because it’s only supposed to be exposed on Agents view.

From the version information that you copied and pasted (thank you!) with Layout: editor It appears that the IDE is focused in view rather than Glass and that is probably what is causing the setting to not render.

thank you for the response. I do not believe I have other windows opened.

From my perspective the all settings should be accessible / rendered despite on the list of windows.

Let me to share my direction of thoughts:

Otherwise it looks weird: open desired window, go to the settings, change the setting. If you do not see the settings, try to press some buttons in IDE or different combination of windows. If I am lucky I will see the option or, probably, it was not implemented yet.

sorry, can not retry. Today after the next upgrade the cursor just crashes…

My day is blocked…
