A simple feature that Cursor desperately needs- tab suggestion history / recovery

So many times I’ve been working fast and, as I’m darting about at light speed with Vim keys, Cursor offers an unexpectedly good suggestion and I think “I’ll take it”.

Milliseconds later, it’s gone. Can’t ever get the same one back.

Which is stupid, as anything the editor receives it can save, and it shouldn’t bear pointing out that the order of the size in memory of a suggestion is, most often, bytes rather than kilobytes. No reason at all to have a useful suggestion disappear irretrievably like that.

Several attempts to search for a solution have shown I’m not the only one struggling with this issue.

Cursor is the one AI app that set out to do user experience well. Moreover, the Tab feature is the highlight for myself and many other users. So I’d suggest that, for the Cursor devs, paying attention to small annoyances and UX frustrations like this is in line with the app’s ethos, and immeasurably worth their time!

Please make it happen!

I’ve been messing around with other AI tools, now back in Cursor.

Of course, the FIRST thing that happens is a get a really good suggestion, literally a FLASH, and I cannot get it back for the life of me.

So now I’m dicking around searching to see if there’s any progress on this, so of course what ought to take 5ms, long enough to hit the Tab button, instead takes 10 minutes, and Cursor isn’t doing its job of saving me time. Grrr!

Hey, thanks for the feature request, I think it’s a great idea. We’ll consider it.

Thanks deanrie, didn’t mean to sound so angry- was trying to go for honesty, first and foremost :laughing:

Basically I just love the Tab and need it to be more reliable. Thanks for understanding!
