Terminal issues one way or another for months!

[Customkleinsllc]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

There are times when terminal commands submit and complete fine and the model continues on, but more often then not they get hung up. there used to be combinations of actions you could do to wake up the pos but now it seems like its not the case. I used to be able to open the terminal and manually hit enter on a prompt line to spark the model back up, or kill the terminal or skip the command but none of it works now and its getting ridiculous. do better be better try harder .

Hey, thanks for the report. We’re aware of this issue and the team is working on a fix.

So i found that if I instruct the model (currently sonnet 4 thinking max) to use the -o BatchMode=yes parameter in ssh terminal commands it’s been able to continue on without intervention. This alone made the product usable again and has allowed me to return to working as needed.

BatchMode is for automation specifically in ssh but i suggest exploring whether there is a parameter meant for automation in whatever terminal type everyone is having issues with and try to see if it allows it to flow.
