Cursor IDE
Please make the terminal in Agents Window a first-class citizen!
Previously I used to CMD+K to request a short one-liner cli commands - eg. “open iphone simulator”. did not need to think about it.
Now CMD+K does not work.
But it’s not just that - managing multiple terminals is more difficult (eg. cannot window split them) and the whole thing is just fairly hidden in the UI…

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I’ll be honest, what you noticed is an intentional change in Agents Window, not a bug.
Cmd+K inline prompt bar in the Agents Window terminal is disabled on purpose. It’s partly because it conflicts with the default Cmd+K clear keybinding and also because of layout issues. In the classic editor view, the terminal works like before, and Cmd+K for generating commands is still available there. If that workflow matters to you, the easiest workaround for now is to keep the terminal in the normal IDE mode. How to switch is in this thread How to switch back to the editor window in Cursor 3.6.31
About splitting multiple terminals in Agents Window, that’s not supported right now and it’s also by design. You can open multiple terminals via New Terminal, but window splitting in the Glass terminal isn’t supported. Glass tiling and splitting is currently built around agent chats, not terminals.
We’ve already discussed the request to enable Cmd+K in the Agents Window terminal internally and decided not to do it for now, so I can’t share an ETA. But I’ll pass along your point that the Agents Window terminal feels like a second class experience, we’ve heard that feedback before.
