Hey, you can switch back to the classic view. Go to Cursor Settings \> Agents and turn off “Open Agents Window on Startup”. Then Cursor will open the usual Editor Window on launch. You can also switch to the editor anytime: - `Ctrl+Shift+N` `Cmd+Shift+N` on macOS - Command Palette \> Open Editor Window - File \> Open Editor Window If the toggle isn’t there in settings, or it doesn’t stay off after you disable it, `Ctrl+Shift+N` and Command Palette will still work. Let me know if it doesn’t work. ---
