VSCode version bump to support TypeScript performance boost

Feature Requests
1

Hi,

I’m reaching out to inquire about the possibility of an upcoming VSCode version bump for Cursor.

Microsoft recently announced the TypeScript (Native Preview) extension, which is a port of the TypeScript compiler to Go. The performance improvements sound fantastic, with reports of up to 10x faster build times and significantly improved editor responsiveness.

I’m currently using Cursor which use VSCode version 1.96.2. It appears that the new TypeScript (Native Preview) extension is not compatible with this version of VSCode.

Given the potential benefits of this new TypeScript tooling for developer productivity, especially on large codebases, it would be great if Cursor could support it soon.

Could the Cursor team share if there are any plans to update the underlying VSCode version in an upcoming release to ensure compatibility with such new extensions?
