Moving the AI chat into the primary sidebar doesn't disable the secondary sidebar.

[tbenthompson]

To reproduce:

1. Drag the AI chat panel into the primary sidebar.
2. Close the secondary sidebar
3. Put the cursor into an editor.
4. Type "Cmd+L" (Mac).
5. The focus is correctly moved to the AI chat.
6. But, the secondary empty sidebar opens.

My current workaround is to set up this keybinding using the multi-command extension:

  {
    "key": "cmd+l",
    "command": "extension.multiCommand.execute",
    "args": {
      "sequence": [
        "aichat.newchataction",
        "aichat.close-sidebar"
      ]
    }
  },

The same issue occurs when I hit "Debug with AI". The empty secondary sidebar opens.

I also encountered this. It's annoying as hell.

Dragging the AI chat panel into the primary sidebar does not work anymore. Anyone knows how to workaround that?

SORRY: Downgrading no longer works. It forces you to update.

The suggestion bellow is no longer valid.

Downgrade to 0.45 which is the latest one that allows moving the chat across panels https://github.com/oslook/cursor-ai-downloads?tab=readme-ov-file#all-versions-download-table
