Cursor CLI
Multi-line pasted text stays hidden and does not expand after prompt is read by LLM. On Claude Code, I do not believe this is the case; after the prompt is read by the LLM and the agent starts responding, the pasted text expands. I would much rather see what I pasted in case I go back through my history and forget what I had pasted.

Hey there! The pasted content isn’t actually lost after you submit, it just isn’t re-rendered in the live transcript. Two ways to get it back today:
cursor-agent --resume (or /resume from inside a session) and pick the session. The conversation gets rebuilt from stored history, so every paste comes back fully expanded with no pills./full-conversation re-renders the current session the same way without leaving it.I checked both on 2026.07.26-77e48ba: a 30-line paste that showed as [Pasted text #1 +30 lines] while chatting came back in full through each path. Worth flagging that /copy still returns the pill rather than the pasted text, so that one won’t help here.
That said, having to reopen the session to read your own paste isn’t great, and expanding it inline after submit makes sense. We’ll be tracking this post to gauge interest from the community, which helps our product team prioritize. If others want the same, chime in here.
