PLEASE STOP mucking about with the UI

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I get the frustration, this is a known topic and there’s been a lot of discussion about it.

The Cursor team already responded in a big megathread: [Megathread] Cursor layout and UI feedback

Key points:

  • They removed the old agents/editor toggle and replaced it with customizable layouts
  • You can now save a default layout via the gear icon in the top right
  • The team is working on adding keybindings for quickly switching between views
  • They fixed bugs with the sidebar position and Cmd+N

About Cmd+E and panels disappearing, there were a few bugs and they’ve already been fixed. To help more precisely:

  • What version of Cursor are you on?
  • Cmd+E works inconsistently. Can you describe exactly when it doesn’t work?

Try setting up your default layout via the gear icon and saving it. That should help with the constant switching.
