Hi everyone
I just wanted to try out Cursor and was surprised it wasn’t just an extension in VS Code but its own editor.
After spending some time with Cursor, I found a few things different or not working as expected compared to VS Code.
Settings Sync
There seems no way to sync the settings right now. Is this correct? I switch between machines almost daily…
How can I install all VS Code installed in WSL 2 for cursor’s WSL 2 server?
I’m talking about only installing the extensions that are already installed by VS Code. If possible, I neither want to install all ~120 extensions that are installed on Windows, nor add all ~60 extensions installed in WSL 2 manually.
Also: Since Cursor is using a different VS Code server instance in how can I import/export the current settings I have just for WSL 2?
Cursor Command in WSL 2 not working
I chose to install the cursor command during the setup. However, when running cursor myfilename I get this message
To use Cursor with the Windows Subsystem for Linux, please install Cursor in Windows and uninstall the Linux version in WSL. You can then use the `cursor` command in a WSL terminal just as you would in a normal command prompt.
Do you want to continue anyway?
If I confirm with y the command just gives an error:
o no longer see this prompt, start Cursor with the environment variable DONT_PROMPT_WSL_INSTALL defined.
/mnt/c/Users/myusername/AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/resources/app/bin/cursor: 62: /mnt/c/Users/myuser/AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/resources/app/bin/../cursor: not found
How can I make this work?
Sidebar Extension Buttons
I like the sortable list and one-click solution that VS Code has for quick extension access. How can I get that layout back?
