Title: Vim mode status line / command output broken after Cursor 2.2.20 update

Description:
After updating to Cursor 2.2.20, vim command output (e.g., “/” to show search text, and allow up-arrow to recall previous search text) no longer displays at the bottom of the editor. This was working in the previous version.

  • Typing “/” to show search text (and allow up-arrow to recall previous search text) in vim normal mode shows no output
  • Status line information that previously appeared at bottom of editor is now missing
  • Settings like vim.showmodename and vim.statusBarColorControl have no effect

Expected behavior: Vim commands like “/” or “:” should display output in a status/command line area at the bottom of the editor, as they did before the update.

Environment:

  • Cursor: 2.2.20
  • VSCodeVim: 1.32.4
  • OS: macOS 24.6.0

Steps to Reproduce

  • Typing “/” to show search text (and allow up-arrow to recall previous search text) in vim normal mode shows no output
  • Status line information that previously appeared at bottom of editor is now missing
  • Settings like vim.showmodename and vim.statusBarColorControl have no effect

Expected Behavior

  • Typing “/” to show search text (and allow up-arrow to recall previous search text) in vim normal mode shows no output
  • Status line information that previously appeared at bottom of editor is now missing
  • Settings like vim.showmodename and vim.statusBarColorControl have no effect

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hey there!

We’re aware of some issues with VSCodeVim after upgrading to v2.2

Could you also try reproducing this in VSCode to help us determine whether it’s Cursor-specific or a broader VSCodeVim issue?
