Cursor agent window may not see code over SSH
On macOS, Cursor can show code on the left and the agent panel on the right in the main window. The agent panel can be opened with Option-Command-B. Cursor also has a separate , but it appears not to access a codebase opened over SSH.
The needed workflow is either to move the agent panel into its own window or connect the separate to the files currently open in the editor. Using @ to pick files seems to search the local file system instead of the server files opened through SSH.
Key points
- Cursor on macOS can place code and the agent panel side by side in the main window.
- The agent panel opens with Option-Command-B.
- The separate appears not to access a codebase opened over SSH.
- Using @ appears to search the local file system rather than the files.
- The practical need is a detached agent panel or a way to link the to the files open in the editor.
