Early in the Cursor days (1.x versions?) I recall that there were ‘full’ and ‘compact’ options in Settings to govern agent display. In 2.6.11, agent display of executed commands has been abbreviated to a not-very-useful single line such as
Although one can expand each of these individually, I don’t see a way to expand them all by default anymore. Does this setting lurk somewhere?
@deanrie et. al, I’d like to put a finer point on this with respect to the urgency and risks of this change. Hiding sandbox output by default obscures the ability of the user to be an active participant in what the agent is doing. If a user isn’t shown the agent output, they can’t intervene when the system is going in circles or doing the wrong thing.
Specifically, I just had an experience in which the agent didn’t realize that we had a Python venv for tests, and because the output wasn’t shown, it went and installed a bunch of dependencies like pytest in the system Python installation. Had I been able to see the output, I would have stopped it before this occurred.
Please revert this change, and make showing agent sandbox output the default.
Hey @rsb
I think you’re looking for this setting under Cursor Settings > Agents > Inline Editing & Terminal > Collapse Aut-Run Commands.
That did the trick, thank you! I had a good look through Settings before posting, but there are just too many of them these days. This opinionated user feels that the collapse setting should be off by default. Something to consider for a future release.
