Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue. The Toggle Maximize Editor Group command has a precondition that requires 2+ editor groups, and in Cursor’s current layouts, especially with Agent mode, it often stays disabled, even from the Command Palette.
The team is aware of the bug. There’s no specific ETA for a fix yet, but your report helps with prioritization.
As a temporary workaround, you can try opening a second editor group manually (split the editor). Then the command should become available, at least for the main group.
Hi team, thank you for the quick reply, I current multi-root workspace has 4 or more editor groups, and I don’t think >=2 editor groups will make the issue go away after several trials. I think I can give more context why I need it.
when an IDE agent / CLI agent finishes the current editing file, since I’m a heavy keyboard shortcut user, so I usually just switch to what file it has edited, and maximize it so I get the full picture and decide to keep it or not (I’m not using cursor native file review here).
So this kind of a quality-of-life issue, so probably this can help the team to put it into high priority. I know the team have done a lot of UI tweaking these days, but if the original feature on top of vscode continuous break, it will not be a good experience for new users. Thanks!
