• Multi-Line Edits: Cursor can suggest multiple edits at once, saving you time.
• Smart Rewrites: Type carelessly, and Cursor will fix your mistakes.
• Cursor Prediction: Cursor predicts your next cursor position so you can seamlessly navigate your code.

Chat

Chat lets you talk with an AI that sees your codebase. The chat can always see your current file and cursor, so you can ask it things like: "Is there a bug here?". You can add particular blocks of code to the context with ⌘+Shift+L or "@." You can chat with your entire codebase with ⌘+Enter.

• Codebase Answers: Use @Codebase or ⌘ Enter to ask questions about your codebase. Cursor will search your codebase to find relevant code to your query.
• Reference your Code: Reference code with @ symbols to be used as context for the AI. Just type @ to see a list of all the files and code symbols in your folder.
• Use Images: Hit the image button under chat or drag an image into the input box to include visual context into chat.
• Ask the Web: Get up-to-date information from the internet with @Web. Cursor will search the web for you and use the latest information to answer your question.
• Instant Apply: Apply the code suggestions from chat back into your codebase by clicking the play button on top of any chat codeblock.
• Use Documentation: Reference popular libraries using @LibraryName, or add your own using @Docs → Add new doc.
