Support Worktree and Cloud features in multi-root workspaces with sub-workspace selection

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

Description:

When working in a multi-root workspace (multiple folders open in a single Cursor window), the “Worktree” and “Cloud” features are currently unavailable.

Proposed Solution:

Allow users to specify which sub-workspace/root folder they want to use when invoking Worktree or Cloud features. This could be implemented via:

  • A prompt asking which workspace root to use when multiple are present
  • A dropdown/selector in the Worktree/Cloud UI
  • A setting to designate a “primary” workspace for these features
    Use Case:

This would allow users to leverage Worktree and Cloud without needing to open a separate Cursor client for each repository. It’s common to have related repositories (e.g., main codebase + conventions/shared configs) open together, and being able to scope agent operations to a specific root would improve the workflow.

Operating System (if it applies)

Linux
