Cursor AI
The current industry standard for AI-native coding.
Composer
Cmd+I: Edit multiple files at once
@Codebase
Full project context indexing
Tab-to-Complete
Predict next 10 lines of code
"Open a new project, hit Cmd+K, and describe your vision. Cursor handles the rest."
"Refactor the authentication logic to use JWT with a 15-minute expiry..."
Cursor is a fork of VS Code that has been rebuilt from the ground up for AI. It pioneered many of the patterns we now call 'Vibe Coding'.
Why it's a Vibe
Cursor features Tab-to-Complete (predicting your next 10 lines) and Composer (Cmd+I), which allows you to describe a feature and have it edited across multiple files simultaneously.
Pro Tip: @Codebase
Use the @Codebase symbol in chat to let Cursor index your entire project. It's the difference between asking 'What does this file do?' and 'How do I add a login feature to this specific app?'
