Cursor CLI Debug Mode & /btw Support – Apr 14 Update

TL;DR

• /debug mode finds root causes and fixes tricky bugs automatically
• /btw lets you ask side questions without stopping the agent's main task
• New /config menu, custom status bars, and keyboard fixes for smoother terminal workflows

New

• /debug command — generates hypotheses, adds log statements, and uses runtime info to pinpoint bugs before making targeted fixes
• /btw support — ask clarifications on changes without derailing the agent's current run
• /config menu — interactive settings panel to view and change model choices, defaults, runtime preferences, and more
• /update-cli-config skill — ask Cursor to apply configuration changes for you
• Custom status bars — use /statusline to surface session and runtime signals like current mode, branch, environment, or active task hints
• Model picker from anywhere — switch models without clearing your prompt first
• Auto-run suggestions — Cursor now proactively suggests enabling auto-run after detecting three consecutive manual approvals
• Image paste from clipboard — Ctrl+V support in terminals without native paste, plus plaintext response handling in AskQuestion and Debug Mode
• Enhanced footer — now displays working directory, worktree, and current branch

Fixed

• Ctrl+Z now reliably sends CLI to background
• Auto-run now works in Debug Mode and Plan Mode
• Background shell processes no longer remain running after quitting CLI
• Slash command handling and matching improved
• Keyboard handling fixed for Cmd+Delete, Vim keybindings, and Ctrl modifier combinations
