Description

Issue 1 – Import from VS Code does nothing

  • Steps to reproduce

    1. Open Settings → General.

    2. Click “Import Settings from VS Code” → “Import”.

  • Expected behavior
    VS Code settings, keybindings, and/or extensions are imported into Cursor and applied (theme, editor options, etc.), or at least a clear message appears describing what was imported.

  • Actual behavior
    No visible change. Cursor’s settings.json remains minimal (e.g. only window.commandCenter and workbench.activityBar.orientation).
    No success or error notification is shown.

    On this machine, ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json does not exist, so it appears the import has nothing to read, but the UI gives no feedback about that situation.

Issue 2 – Misleading “You are not signed in to any accounts” message

  • Steps to reproduce

    1. Sign into Cursor with Google.

    2. Open Settings. In the top-left, the account name and Pro Plan are visible, indicating you are logged into Cursor.

    3. Look at the bottom-right account/accounts banner.

  • Actual behavior
    A message says “You are not signed in to any accounts” next to the round account icon.

  • Expected behavior

    • Since the Cursor account (Google) is clearly logged in, this message is confusing.

    • The message likely refers only to GitHub / Copilot / linked external accounts, not the main Cursor login. The UI should reflect that more clearly so users don’t think they’re logged out or unable to sync.

Additional context

  • Command Palette search for “sign in” only shows “Sign Out of GitHub”, which is consistent with Cursor being signed in already and only GitHub/Copilot being separate.

  • Together, the “Import” doing nothing and the “not signed in” message make it hard to tell whether the problem is with account/sync state or with the import feature itself.

Does this stop you from using Cursor?

  • Yes - Cursor is unusable
  • Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor
  • No - Cursor works, but with this issue

I found a manual way to do this. In VS Code, you can export your profile by opening the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P), then searching for and selecting “Profiles: Export Profile.” Make sure Extensions is selected, choose a local file as the destination, and save the profile to your preferred location.

To import it on another machine, open the Command Palette again, search for “Profiles: Import Profile,” and select the profile file you previously exported.
