Show the full file path on hover

Usability Suggestion: Show Full File Path on Hover

Hi!

I have a quick usability suggestion.

When multiple files share the same name, it can be hard to tell them apart at a glance. For example, in the screenshot below, I have two workspaces that both contain a file with the same name. Because Cursor does not display the full file path, I cannot easily see which workspace or folder each file is from. This makes it difficult to know exactly which file I am looking at.

Suggestion:
Show the full file path as a tooltip when hovering over a file tab or a search result (such as in the quick file switcher). Using the HTML title attribute would be an effective way to do this. It would make it much easier to quickly identify the correct file without having to open each one or rely only on the truncated path.

Thanks for considering!

This is at least the 4th time this has been requested yet none of the posts get more than a couple votes:

Add a hover for added file as a relative path

Hi! It would be great if I can see the relative path of a file if I place mouse on the file. For example, I want to see a hover with the path of the Makefile here if I place a mouse on it. [image]

Increase Context Popup and Add Hover State Displaying Full Path

Right now “Files & Folders” popup width size when adding context is almost impossible to know which directory or file I am adding since the file name takes most of the space in most cases, and I can not see where the file is located. I tried to hover the list item to see if that shows me the full path, but that does NOT work. I have to add it to the context, then hover the pill in the context section instead and remove it until I luckily add the correct one. Could you increase the width of the…

While writing this post, I came across several similar posts. I decided to add mine as well, since I provided good context and this helps show that it’s genuinely a requested feature. Thank you!
