I’m using Cursor for a TypeScript project, but it’s not showing TypeScript errors, underlining issues, or displaying tooltips on hover. In VS Code, the same code correctly shows type errors (e.g., “Argument of type ‘string’ is not assignable…”).

Additionally, clicking on file references doesn’t open them. I’ve tried:

- Reinstalling Cursor
- Syncing settings from VS Code
- Installing TypeScript globally (`npm install -g typescript`)
- Restarting Cursor & reloading the window

Still no luck. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hey, possible reason for the non-working TypeScript server, try restarting it, also open the DevTools panel, there might be errors there.
