The Agent is being pushed so aggressively everywhere and it’s incredibly annoying - I absolutely do NOT want this “Cursor Glass” layout. It’s terrible.
Nobody wants agent mode, stop forcing it on us. We need to be able to get original Editor Mode back easily.
I mistakenly opened the agent mode… I had to waste around 15 minutes just to find out how I could go back to editor mode.
At this moment, I can’t even open the editor for one of my workspace, whatever I try to do mentioned above, does not work, it always goes to the agents window. I’m losing time and my mind over this.
why would you force agent without adding an option to disable? pretty annoying.
