### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Cursor IDE ### Describe the Bug When using two workspaces in cursor the @ is not able to find the workspace if the workspace only contains letters. ### Steps to Reproduce Open the IDE in a folder.

Hey, thanks for the report. This looks like a bug in how the @ mention feature searches workspace root folders. When you type after @, those folders don’t show up in the candidate list, but folders with hyphens are found because of how fuzzy matching works. As a workaround for now, try typing `@` with no text after it. The dropdown should show all workspace folders, including bots. You can pick the folder you need from there. I’ve passed this on to the team. Let me know if the workaround doesn’t work. ---

Hey Dean. This workaround does not work. Even without typing anything the workspace does not show up. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/b/5/b5c979d6992c9fa90a52925aead0a257d19b6754.png) It only shows a small subset of folders but not all. Kind regards, Tibor ---

Hey Tibor, thanks for getting back to me. It’s a bummer the workaround didn’t help. I can see from your screenshot that even with an empty `@`, only some folders show up. Sadly there isn’t a working workaround right now. This bug is on our radar, but we don’t have an ETA yet. I’ll post here if there are any updates. ---

I’ve been experiencing this too. As a workaround I generally right-click in the folder and “Copy Path” and mention the path directly, but that’s something i def don’t love doing. ---
