Cursor overwrites the “code” command line shortcut/alias that’s normally set by VS Code. It does this on every update with no setting to disable this behavior. There are numbers of forum threads asking about manual solutions. This seems like a deliberately anti-user feature meant to get their usage numbers up at all costs. This small thing makes me not trust the decision making process at Cursor won’t sell me out as a user.


This is the primary reason I uninstalled Cursor and subsequently realized that, hey, VS Code has most of these features now.

What in the hell were they thinking?!
