Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
Side chat is a great feature which allows me to create throw-away chats without polluting the context of the main chat.
For some reason, side chat is available only in the Agents window and not in specific projects. This makes it far tougher for me to use Project windows.
Can we fix by adding side-chat capability to all windows?
Steps to Reproduce
Highlight text in chat inside a Project-specific window
Expected Behavior
“Add to Side chat” option is shown
Operating System
MacOS
