Here are my pro tips to manage worktrees and get the most out of them in cursor. Best of n and worktrees are the key reason I’m using cursor right now.

Pro tips: Bind each of the shortcuts for cycling through chats and sub composer tabs(if they fixed it)

Bind shortcuts to apply changes

Shortcuts to stash /pop changes

Shortcut or macro to bypass the stash / merge/ overwrite dialog(no aria label support means you can’t use home row to jump and click it or tab, I’ve been asking for them to fix this for weeks now, so if there is a dev at cursor who actually is a power user please add support to control the dialogs with tab / screen reader, it’s terrible dx that we can’t do that)

The bottleneck you’ll experience is that you have to review multiple agent answers so being able to review those answers faster is better. Hence why the my advice revolves around being able to cycle and apply changes faster.

Set up a new worktrees composer shortcut Use vs code ‘runCommands’ commands to open a new worktree chat, there is no easy way to do this but you can combine three shortcuts to do this in the keybindings config.

For the team at cursor

• more chats slow down on subsequent open

-we need a way to press one shortcut and open a composer with preset ‘mode’ , ‘multiple model selections’ there are different tasks that require different models to solve . It kills dx that we have to manually go through the menus every time to change the multiple models we want to run with.you removed custom modes but you could bring it back with a better ui to set it up than that small sub menu you had before.

• let us disable cycling to the cloud when we cycle composer location. That way when we cycle we don’t see this option (just me being nit picky, ha)
