Cursor uses the same extension as VS Code. Most of VS Code documentation is applicable to Cursor. When reaching out to support, please specify that you are using Cursor as your editor.

Opening an Environment

You can select Cursor from the editor selector dropdown by clicking on the dropdown arrow next to the editor button on the action bar.

Troubleshooting

”Open Cursor” button does nothing

If clicking the button doesn’t open Cursor, the cursor:// URI handler is not registered on your system or cursor is not properly installed. To troubleshoot:
  • Linux: Verify a Cursor desktop entry exists in ~/.local/share/applications or /usr/share/applications. If missing, reinstall Cursor.
  • All platforms: Try refreshing the browser page, or test in a different browser to rule out browser-specific issues.
