Feature request for product/service

Cursor CLI

Describe the request

In Cursor Agent CLI (the standalone agent / Cursor CLI), command stdout is always shown collapsed/folded by default. Users must press Ctrl+O to expand and read the full output. Please add a setting—in cli-config.json and/or via an environment variable—to disable this behavior so that command output is shown expanded by default (e.g. "expandCommandOutput": true or CURSOR_CLI_EXPAND_OUTPUT=1). This would improve usability for users who routinely need to see full command output without an extra keypress.

I could not agree more. I’m going to quit using Cursor because of this. It’s a terrible idea to hide the work it’s doing. I catch it making so many mistakes this way and hiding it has ruined my ability to keep the system honest. I really really hate this. PLEASE FIX ASAP you’ll be losing users.
