Hey, I see your frustration with the layout changes. The team is collecting all UI and layout feedback in this megathread: [Megathread] Cursor layout and UI feedback

There are already 290+ comments with similar complaints, including forced layout resets after updates and UI elements disappearing.

About the chat button specifically, it was intentionally removed in v2.3 in the Agent layout. Alternatives:

  • CTRL+ALT+B to toggle the chat panel
  • CTRL+E to switch to the Editor layout, the button is there
  • The gear icon (top right) to set up a custom layout

I know this isn’t a replacement for the button you’re used to. Your feedback will really help if you leave it in the megathread, the team is watching it.
