Added

  • Added hooks for session start/end, prompt, and stop for customizing agent lifecycle events.

  • Added **`/about`** for seeing basic details about your environment and Cursor CLI setup.

Improved

  • Faster message queueing and UX.
  • Better markdown rendering with proper links, tables, and rules.

Changed

  • See Cursor streaks and stats with **`/usage`**.
  • **`Shift+Enter`** for newlines now works in iTerm2, Ghostty, Kitty, Warp, and Zed. Run **`/setup-terminal`** to auto-configure **`/Option+Enter`** Apple Terminal, Alacritty, or VS Code. **`Ctrl+J`** and **`\+Enter`** work universally as alternatives.
  • Smarter terminal environment detection for optimal keybindings and display.
  • Menu resize handling, long line truncation, and stable state on window changes.
  • **`/list`** removed. Use **`/resume`** to see all prior conversations.
  • **`/models`** removed. Use **`/model`** to see all models or select a model.

Fixed
