#Cursor cant read terminal
6 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
I just posted about the same issue.
At first, I fixed it by turning on "Use Legacy Terminal" in Cursor settings.
Then some commands worked. But ls did not. It turns out the problem with ls was it is aliased to eza and the terminal can't handle the special characters.
Having said all that, after restarting Cursor, it lost the legacy terminal setting. So now I'm trying to get that to stick.
BTW - A workaround is to ask Cursor to redirect all output to files and then read the files. But that is not ideal.
Okay - this is very odd behavior. The eza thing may have been a red herring.
Here's what I'm seeing.
If I set the "Use Legacy Terminal" switch on or off, it works.
When I restart, it does not work. The switch did remember its state.
When I switch, again either way, it starts working again/
