VS Code Settings Import

Support Help

Hi Cursor Team!

I am loving everything about Cursor, and have been using it on a few machines. I am curious if there is functionality to import profiles from VS Code without doing it one by one. I have a large number of profiles on a few machines, and this has been slightly annoying to handle. Does this feature exist or is it something that could be implemented?

Thanks for everything!

Hey, thanks for the feedback!

Right now, bulk import for multiple profiles isn’t supported, so you’ll need to import each profile separately via the Command Palette.

Here’s the most efficient way:

  • In VS Code, export each profile to a GitHub Gist (Command Palette > “Preferences: Open Profiles (UI)” > 3-dot menu > Export Profile > GitHub Gist)
  • In Cursor, import the profiles from the Gist URL (Command Palette > “Preferences: Open Profiles (UI)” > Import Profile)

GitHub Gist helps you avoid manually moving files between machines.

I get that this isn’t ideal if you have lots of profiles. Your feedback helps us prioritize improvements like this.
