Terminal Commands

How To
1

Hey, guys,

I’m wondering about Cursor’s command execution capabilities compared to other tools.

Currently, I use Cline, which has a streamlined workflow for executing commands:

  1. I make a request (e.g., “update Node.js”)
  2. Cline suggests a command and asks for permission
  3. After my confirmation, it runs the command
  4. It monitors the output
  5. Based on the output, it either runs follow-up commands or completes the task

In contrast, my Cursor’s current workflow is more limited:

  1. I make a request
  2. Cursor suggests a command
  3. I have to manually click to run it
  4. Cursor doesn’t monitor the output or provide follow-up actions

Is there a way to make Cursor work more like Cline, where it can:

  • Execute commands directly
  • Read command outputs
  • Respond with appropriate follow-up actions

This would be especially helpful for non-coders. Any guidance would be appreciated!
