Remote-SSH/Devcontainer Shortcuts

Feature request for product/service

Anysphere Extensions (Remote SSH, Python, Dev Containers, WSL, C/C++/C#)

Describe the request

If both Anysphere extensions are installed: Devcontainer & remote-ssh, please can you display the following options(shortcuts) whenever a user clicks the “><” icon/area thing in the bottom-lefthand corner of the Cursor IDE UI (this would then replicate the current UI behaviour of VS Code). My muscle memory would appreciate this tweak.

Specifically, the devcontainer options are already displayed, but you need to add the “remote-ssh” options as well. Having the visual ‘blue’ line separator between the extensions would also be appreciated.

Screenshot / Screen Recording

Hi @mjnowen, the theme will control whether a line is shown between sections. Actions for SSH will show if the extension is installed:

I can confirm this is the case for Cursor (with both extensions installed). However, from within my devcontainer, if I click on the bottom left-hand corner icon, I don’t get any of the “Remote-SSH” options and only the “Dev Containers” options. I even tried installing the “anysphere.remote-ssh” extension into my devcontainer but it makes no difference.

So, I would like to report this as a bug then, if you expect it to be displayed from within a devcontainer (VS Code devcontainer+remote-ssh extensions currently provide this UI experience).
