Hey, please check this solution:

Editor actions icons disappeared in 2.1.0 version

Hey, thanks, you’re right - it was disabled in version 2.1. Here’s how you can enable it: click on the three dots, select “Configure Icon Visibility” and check the icons you want to show. [image]

I’ve tried this before, but as you can see there aren’t any GitLens icons in the menu even though the extension is set up.
In VSCode everything works fine.

My markdown preview, gitlens, versionlens icons are all gone, and cannot be configured.

I was having the same issue. Going to my cursor extensions → Click gear icon on Gitlens extension → Install specific version, then install a previous version/restart extension.

After that I re-upgraded to the latest version, restart extension again.

Then in the top right three dot menu → Configure Icon Visibility, the old options for File annotations etc is there again.
