Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
I found a workaround that completely stops Cursor from asking me to approve every single file edit.
If you switch from Agent mode to Plan mode, Cursor behaves very differently. In Agent mode it pauses constantly to ask for confirmation, but in Plan mode it generates a full blueprint of all changes first. When you approve the plan, Cursor executes all the edits in one shot — no further prompts, no interruptions.
Workflow that solved it for me:
Open Cursor in Plan instead of Agent
Let it generate the proposed steps
Click Approve plan
Cursor applies the entire set of changes automatically, without asking again
It basically turns into a “batch edit” mode, and it’s the only reliable way I’ve found to stop the per-file confirmation prompts.
Sharing in case it helps others until an official toggle is fixed or reintroduced.
