Learning Web & Javascript While Building with Cursor AI

Cursor AI uploads its own update log at https://www.cursor.com/changelog .

For those who find it difficult to follow up, I am sharing a translated version.

Streamlined pricing, background agent, and new inline editing

Introducing on-demand unified pricing, Max mode available on all top-tier models, and background agents for parallel tasks.
You'll also find a variety of improvements, including more convenient context management with @folders , Inline Edit with more options, faster file editing, multi-root workspace support, and chat with export and duplicate features.

1. Simpler integrated pricing

We've unified our pricing structure to reduce confusion and reflect your feedback.

• All model usage is unified in Request units .

• Max mode changes to token-based billing (similar to the Model API method).

• Premium tool calls and long context mode have been removed for simplicity.

• The quotas and slow requests benefits of Hobby/Pro/Business plans remain the same.

• All usage details can be checked on the dashboard, making it easy to manage expenses.

2. Max mode for all top models

Max mode is available on all state-of-the-art models of Cursor.
Even when new models are added, you can immediately enjoy maximum performance in Max mode.

• When do you use it?

  • When broader context, higher intelligence, and tool utilization are essential

  • Complex problem solving or large-scale refactoring, etc.

• Charging method : Charging in proportion to the number of tokens used

• NOTE : Older versions of Cursor will still be able to use the old MAX version and long context mode for a while, but support will end soon. We recommend updating to the latest version.

3. New Tab Model

We trained a new Tab model to be able to suggest changes across multiple files.

• Specialization areas : refactoring, edit chains, multi-file editing, jumping between related code

• Experience : More natural and faster completion suggestions

• Bonus : Added grammar highlighting to completion suggestions

4. Background Agent (Preview)

Agents can run in the background to process multiple tasks in parallel .

• Each agent operates in its own remote environment.

• Track progress, send follow-up messages, and take direct control

• In internal testing, it's been useful for "minor fixes", "investigative work", and "writing medium-sized PR drafts".

5. Putting the entire codebase into context

• When using @folders , you can add the entire folder as context.

• Settings ▸ Full folder contents must be enabled

• If the folder/file is too large, it will be displayed as a small icon in the context pill.

6. New inline editing (Cmd/Ctrl + K)

• UI improvements and new options added

  • Edit entire file (⌘⇧⏎)

  • Send selection code block to agent (⌘L)

• For simple range changes, send to an agent for full file edits, or for multi-file edits or more granular control .

7. Edit long files quickly

Added a search & replace tool to the agent.

• Find and modify only the necessary parts without reading the entire file, even in long files

• Example) Approximately 2x speedup when editing Postgres codebase

• Applied from the Anthropic model, to be expanded in the future

8. Multi-root workspace

Work on multiple codebases in one space.

• Add multiple folders to one workspace → Index all

• Ideal for working on different projects simultaneously

• .cursor/rules is also supported in all folders

9. Enhanced chat function

Feature Description Export Chat Export to Markdown file from chat screen – including text and code blocks Duplicate Chat Right-click on the message ⋯ menu → Duplicate to New Chat to experiment with different branches of conversation flow

Other Matters

Shortcuts

Edit entire file in inline editing with shortcut keys Cmd / Ctrl + Shift + K

Improvements

1. Agent uses native terminal emulation (instead of the traditional virtual terminal approach)

2. @folders : Attempts to automatically include all files that can fit into the context.

3. Context status icons : See at a glance if a file is missing or abbreviated in the chat

4. You can disable individual MCP tools in MCP settings

5. New C# extensions released on the Marketplace

6. You can increase the chat font size in settings
