Top 10 Cursor Features

My favorite Cursor (@cursor_ai) features. Am I missing any:

  1. Generate Code: Hit Ctrl + K and ask for to generate code based on text input.

  2. Multi-Line Edits: Highlight code and press Edit or Ctrl + K to edit highlighted code based on a prompt.

  3. Tab Completion: Cursor predicts the code you want to write and to "quick-accept" just press tab.

  4. Smart Rewrites: Freestyle your code in the editor and Cursor fixes syntax errors on the fly.

  5. Chat: Integrated chat for real-time assistance with AI model selection.

  6. References: Use references such as "@ Codebase" or "@ web" to add appropriate context to prompt.

  7. Use Images: Upload images by dragging and dropping into chat to use as context.

  8. Terminal Command Gen.: Ctrl + K in terminal to write commands in plain text. Cursor converts them.

  9. Cursor Prediction: Cursor editor predicts where it should place the editing cursor next in your file.

  10. Ctrl + I to Create Files: Quickly create entirely new files based on a prompt. Gamechanger!
