Does this stop you from using Cursor

Hey, thanks for the report. It’s intentionally pinned to be visible, but we’ll consider the possibility of unpinning it.

I really need to unpin the All-Agent tab. My screen just isn’t wide enough and all the pinned tabs make things too cramped.

Please don’t force features on users. If I unpin a tab, it’s a conscious decision not to see or use it. Bringing it back every time I restart the app won’t make me want to use the feature—if anything, it only builds frustration and resentment.

Bumping this. As someone who moves through multiple projects frequently, this is very annoying, especially when using my small Laptop screen.

Please reconsider this.

Describe the Bug

There’s an ‘All Agents’ shortcut pinned to the explorer’s topbar. I unpin it everytime but it comes back the next session. Can we please remove that, perhaps there’s a way to remove it from the topbar entirely?

Steps to Reproduce

Open IDE, unpin the shortcut from topbar and relaunch.

Expected Behavior

The unpinned item should stay unpinned.

Hey, thanks for the report. Unfortunately, it’s not possible at the moment, but we’ll consider this option.

This is fixed in version 1.5.9.

While I can initially unpin it in v1.5.9 (OSX), upon restarting Cursor or reloading the window, it reappears pinned.

Hey, thanks, that’s really true. I’ll pass this to the team.

Describe the Bug

Hi, I just upgraded Cursor from 1.4.2 to ver. 1.5.11, and found there a new tab “All Agents” appeared on Primary Sidebar.
I tried to unpin the tab because I am not likely using it, however, it becomes pinned each time I restarted/reloaded the window.
This doesn’t affect functionality but really annoying to me.

Steps to Reproduce

Unpin “All Agents” tab on Primary Sidebar, then reload the window

Expected Behavior

“All Agents” tab should remain unpinned after reload/restart the window

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

The “All Agents” side panel tab is always pinned after an editor restart.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open the Cursor IDE.
  2. Open the dropdown in the left side panel and unpin the “All Agents” tab.
  3. Observe that the tab is unpinned and is not shown at the top of the side panel.
  4. Reload the IDE.
  5. Observe that the tab “All Agents” reappears as pinned.

Expected Behavior

Cursor IDE remembers which tabs I want to see in my day-to-day operation, and which I do not.

Also, to add to this feature: the default key binding for this tab overrides “File → Save as…”, which is unheard of. “Save as…” is one of the core features of a text editor (!), so please change the All Agents tab’s keybinding as well.

@Yurii_Bohomolov This is unrelated, please open a separate issue.

And for @deanrie , when can we expect a fix for this on MacOS too?

I’m seeing the same issue on current version:
Version: 1.6.42 (Universal)
Commit: 5911e9593196a000b1c00553aaf03b0b32042b90
Date: 2025-09-20T17:16:56.346Z (1 day ago)
OS: Darwin arm64 24.6.0

For anyone looking for a workaround:
In the dropdown menu, try dragging “All Agents” to reorder it below your own pinned items. This way, when the sidebar is narrow, your frequently used items will still show up first, and “All Agents” won’t get in the way of your own pins.

Hope allowing to unpin it can be considered. Thanks!

Bumping this - still an issue on MacOS Cursor v1.7.11.

@deanrie is there any update?

Bump. @deanrie this still happens in latest update. On re-launch it gets re-pinned again. I don’t want this to be pinned

Still persistent on version 1.7.28 appimage on linux. Incredibly annoying

@deanrie This is still happening. After unpinning “All Agents”, it comes back as pinned after restarting Cursor. It’s pretty annoying. I’m on v1.7.12, but it was also happening with v1.6 (and v1.5 I think)
