For God's sake, I need to export a chat!
On the chat's very window or also on its item on the chats list: I should be able to export the whole chat, to avoid the hassle of having to copy every message from me and from the AI.
On every repo, I credit the AI and additionally keep a track of the conversation/reasoning behind the codes.

@somogyijanos what about turning it into a VSCode extension for Cursor? A statusbar button to export the current chat.

Index? yours no doubt?? Am excited to find this utility ... but really need it to work ??
I made a Cursor Chat Browser with Cursor. Let's you browse and search your logs, and download them as md, html or pdf. Check it out: https://github.com/thomas-pedersen/cursor-chat-browser
Inspired by a lot of the work that came before and the fact that some breaking changes to previous work were introduced with Cursor's 0.43.5 release, we made a cursor extension to do this, check it out and let us know what you think: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=SpecStory.specstory-vscode
I've created the Cursor Convo Export extension: using a shortcut or the command palette, it can save the entire conversation to a new window or a (timestamped) file.
using it a lot to store convos as documentation (deployment steps, related features, etc) and to start a fresh chat when one freezes (copy pasting in the chat and continue working).

Besides Markdown, HTML export is also supported since the last version. Still using it daily myself.
Happy Cursor Coding 👨🏻💻
I ask the agent to add a markdown file with the "entire chat" and it creates an almost identical copy/summary of the session.
export the entire chat with all 3 questions and answers into a md file under docs
Should work most times
so now we have export func, i still prefer spec story, but is there anyway to export the terminal outputs with it..? windsurf allows parsing the whole chat from UI but applies dynamic loading so you cant copy more than few messages and trying to do this in cursor
It's just -- get.specstory.com/cursor-extension.
