Yet another AI driven code editor, gaining popularity rapidly
My Notes
- Cursor AI works best with small tasks described clearly
- Enable compose (then use with ctrl+i), and within compose, make sure you describe the application you want to have made, the languages and libraries you want it built with, and ask it for it to be simple so you can slowly add to it to your liking
- You can also ask it to recommend technologies
- ctrl+L = chat feature, you can ask cursor questions !, you can add context (mention button) by giving it an image, a pdf, a git link etc….
- the chat feature is by default connected to the open file, so you can make change requests to the file in the chat window, then accept changes or ask for fix
- crusor uses Claude-sonnet by default
- in-line completion (A la copilot), write the beginning for a hint, then tab to accept
- Select your code that needs to be modified, then CTRL+L or CTRL+K to ask for modification or alteration, the K is the inline editor
