Cursor 3.1: Tiled Agents, Voice Input Upgrade

TL;DR

• Tiled layout lets you run multiple agents in parallel panes instead of jumping between tabs
• Voice input now uses batch STT for higher accuracy and includes UI controls (waveform, timer, cancel/confirm buttons)
• Branch selection in empty state prevents accidental runs on the wrong branch

New

• Tiled layout — Split your Agents Window into panes to run and manage multiple agents simultaneously. Drag agents into tiles, expand to focus, and your setup persists across sessions.
• Upgraded voice input — Records full voice clips and transcribes with batch STT for higher-quality speech-to-text. Press and hold Ctrl+M to speak with waveform, timer, and cancel/confirm controls.
• Branch selection in empty state — Search and select a branch before launching a cloud agent, cutting down branch-switching steps and preventing accidental runs on the wrong branch.
• Diff to file navigation — Jump from diffs directly to the exact line in your editor for manual edits, Tab completion, go-to-definition, and more.
• File search filters — Use include/exclude filters in "Search in Files" to scope code search to specific file sets.
• Design Mode keyboard navigation — Navigate the element tree (up, down, sideways) with keyboard support to pick UI elements before commenting.
• Prompt buttons persistence — Prompt buttons now stay in place while voice input is processing.
• Plan tab document behaviors — Plan tabs now support reliable loading, dirty tracking, reload on changes, and the ability to save, copy, and export markdown.
• Preferred project target default — New agent sessions start in your preferred project target by default.
• macOS text rendering — Text now renders with anti-aliasing for sharper character edges.
• Cmd-K agent results — Shows fewer, more relevant agent results capped to recent matching items.

Fixed

• Scrolling through long conversations no longer stutters — now smooth even in large threads.
• Agent conversations with many diffs or code blocks no longer flash and freeze.
• Closing tabs is less likely to glitch the file tree with faster recovery.
• File tree now responds to changes reliably without flickering, stale data, or missed updates.
• Follow-up messages in long chats no longer hang — now feels instant.
• Large edits stream more smoothly after cutting dropped frames by ~87%.
• Extension events now scoped to each workspace, reducing cross-project interference.
• Local diff fetches limited to reduce CPU/network spikes and lag in SCM views.
• File tab names now resolved within the current agent's visible tabs instead of globally across all agents.
