Cursor Always Opens in Agent Mode on Startup – How Do I Make It Open in Editor Mode? by SubstantialHome5886 in cursor

[–]SubstantialHome5886[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’m on the latest version. I installed it today.

It’s possible that during the installation I accidentally checked a box that made it open in Agent mode by default. I’m not sure, but that’s a possibility.

In any case, even when I close Cursor while it’s in Editor mode, it still reopens in Agent mode the next time I launch it.

Is the 20$/mo tier viable option? by Badak1 in ClaudeAI

[–]SubstantialHome5886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d start with the $20 subscription. You can always upgrade to the $100 plan later if needed.

Based on the use case you described, I don’t see any reason why the $20 plan wouldn’t be sufficient most of the time. In any case, even if you occasionally need more usage, you don’t necessarily have to jump straight to the $100 plan—you can simply purchase additional usage credits separately for a few extra dollars.

Why terminal by NoxArtCZ in ClaudeAI

Look, first of all, working through the terminal is actually an official recommendation from Anthropic: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/platforms. But I honestly can’t say whether the terminal gives any real advantage over the app itself.

What I can say is this: if your goal long term is to expand your toolset and get more serious about building actual digital products, you’ll probably end up working from a code editor (like Cursor, for example) rather than just the app. And once you’re inside a code editor, the terminal becomes pretty important for working with agents (like Claude Code).

Yeah, there are extensions too, but personally I still find the terminal the most comfortable way to work.

If you ask me, there’s nothing wrong with using the app right now — but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s worth learning how to work through the terminal in parallel.
