Does anyone know how to run two cursor IDEs on the same project? Reason: I want to run two agents on the project at the same time. I understand they could be over writing each others files, but sometimes I am working on one file very specifically, or I just have questions about the codebase while the agent is doing something time consuming. Two IDEs on the same project would allow me to do this.
I use Windows and tried:
“cursor .” in the same directory
and
Opening a new window via Cursor GUI and then:
Trying to open the folder
Trying to open the saved workspace
None of these seemed to work.
I don’t mind paying more via whatever mechanism- that is not a constraint for this purpose.
You can create two docker containers and limit each docker to a certain part of your project and then you open two instances of Cursor and connect each one to a container and there you have absolute isolation. it must be planned well otherwise you will be frustrated. you must plan if you need tight separation or a shared area in between.
if it is about frontend and backend, you might want to give access the other side of the fence for the LLM to read and make decisions. The new Cursor can manage this too. Read the release docks too, before you make up your mind.
