Updating Cursor Settings
This skill guides you through modifying Cursor/VSCode user settings. Use this when the user wants to change editor settings, preferences, configuration, themes, keybindings, or any settings.json values.
Settings File Location
| OS | Path |
|---|---|
| macOS | ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/settings.json |
| Linux | ~/.config/Cursor/User/settings.json |
| Windows | %APPDATA%\Cursor\User\settings.json |
Before Modifying Settings
- Read the existing settings file to understand current configuration
- Preserve existing settings - only add/modify what the user requested
- Validate JSON syntax before writing to avoid breaking the editor
