Cursor

Open the AI chat panel. Ask questions about your codebase, get explanations, generate code, and reference context with @ symbols.

Add the current editor selection to the Chat panel as a code snippet.

Run a semantic search across the entire indexed codebase and use results as context.

Open the inline edit bar at the cursor position. Describe a change and Claude/GPT applies it directly in the file.

Ask a quick question about the code at the cursor without generating an edit.

Open the Agents Window — a multi-step AI agent that reads, edits, and creates files across your entire project to complete a task.

Launch a cloud-hosted background agent that runs independently while you keep working. Results appear in the Agents Window.

Agent presents a full plan before making any file changes. Review and approve before execution begins.

Agent generates UI mockups and interactive prototypes alongside code changes.

Accept the current AI autocomplete suggestion in full.

Accept the next word of the current autocomplete suggestion instead of the full suggestion.

Dismiss the current autocomplete suggestion without accepting it.

Enable or disable AI autocomplete globally from Cursor Settings → Features → Cursor Tab.

Automated code review that runs on pull requests, identifies bugs, and suggests fixes.

Apply all Bugbot fix suggestions to a PR in a single operation.

Attach one or more files from your project to the current message.

Attach an entire folder and its contents as context.

Attach a specific function, class, or symbol by name.

Run a semantic search across the entire indexed project and attach the most relevant results.

Attach recently changed files to provide diff context.

Attach official documentation — built-in for popular libraries, or add custom URLs.

Perform a live web search and attach the results as context.

Attach git history — recent commits, diffs, or a specific commit hash.

Attach the most recent terminal output to the message.

Attach all current linting errors and TypeScript diagnostics from the Problems panel.

Attach a saved Notepad — a persistent text scratchpad you can pre-fill with instructions, templates, or context.

Open or focus the Chat panel.

Add the current editor selection to the Chat panel as a code snippet.

Open the Agents Window (multi-file Agent).

Launch a cloud background agent in a new Agents Window pane.

Open the Inline Edit bar at the cursor, or show agent results.

Accept the full current AI autocomplete suggestion.

Accept the next word of the current autocomplete suggestion.

Dismiss the current autocomplete suggestion.

Hold to activate voice input. Release to transcribe and submit.

Paste an image from clipboard directly into the Chat or Agent input.

Send the Cursor CLI session to the background.

Project-scoped AI rules files. Each .mdc file can target specific file globs and apply automatically.

Legacy single-file project rules (root of repo). Still supported but superseded by .cursor/rules/*.mdc.

MDC frontmatter field: human-readable name shown in the rules picker and @-mention menu.

MDC frontmatter field: file glob patterns that trigger auto-injection of this rule.

MDC frontmatter field: if true, this rule is injected into every single Chat and Agent request.

Global AI rules that apply to every project, set in Cursor Settings → General → Rules for AI.

Spawn async subagents to parallelize the current request — breaks large tasks into simultaneous chunks.

Enter Debug Mode — the agent generates hypotheses, adds strategic log statements, and uses runtime output to find root causes.

Ask a side question or give a clarification without stopping the current agent run.

Open an interactive settings panel — change model, defaults, and runtime preferences without leaving the CLI.

Apply configuration changes from a skill or script without manually editing settings files.

Customize the CLI status bar to display session info, working directory, worktree, and branch.
