Feature request for product/service
Cursor IDE
Describe the request
Allow the right sidebar to split out to a separate window on a second monitor.
Allows worflows with monitoring changes/progress on a second monitor
Hi @mvnrsa, Thanks for the FR! For the Cursor IDE, this is already possible today. If you’re referring to the Agents Window, that is limited to one window at a time currently. For the IDE View, you can put the chat panel in its own window and move it to a second monitor.
In the editor:
- Open the chat panel on the right.
- Click the
...menu at the top of that panel and choose Open as Editor. The chat becomes a tab in the editor area. - Right-click that tab and choose Move into New Window, or drag the tab out of the window.
You can then park that window on your other monitor and keep the editor on the first. Same first step from the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P): Open Tab as Editor.
If you want a dedicated agent surface on one screen and the classic IDE on the other, you can also keep both windows open at once: Command Palette → Open Agents Window. More on that here: Agents Window | Cursor Docs
Hi,
I’m referring to the Agents window and it’s side panel (where git, browser, terminal lives).
Currently I stretch the agents window across two monitors with the divider on the edge between monitors.
That way I can monitor each agent and the changes it makes in its project.

Ah ok. Yes, the Agents Window is limited to one window currently. However, you can have multiple IDE windows open, so you could open the IDE view for the terminal for example and then keep your Glass window on your primary screen.
