Feature request for product/service
Cursor IDE
Describe the request
Problem
It’s very easy to accidentally close a chat tab in Cursor, and there’s currently no way to reopen it. Unlike editor tabs (which support workbench.action.reopenClosedEditor), closed chat tabs are gone with no recovery option — even though the chat history is preserved elsewhere.
Proposed Solution
Add support for reopening the most recently closed chat tab, ideally via:
- A keyboard shortcut (e.g. Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+T, similar to browsers)
- A command palette entry: “Reopen Closed Chat Tab”
- Or a right-click context menu option on the chat tab bar
Why it matters
Chat tabs often contain ongoing conversations with important context. Losing them due to an accidental click is frustrating, especially mid-session. A simple undo/restore mechanism would match the UX behavior users already expect from both browsers and the editor itself.
Operating System (if it applies)
MacOS
