I use the same 3 prompts consistently for different use cases while editing in my code: - Generating typings for a function / variable - Look through the code and reformat it in a new style - Check for bugs (especially check for X, Y, Z) I would like to tie these to different keyboard shortcuts, so I don’t have to type out my entire prompt everytime for each use case. I see there is history, which is decent enough for now, but custom snippets would be helpful for me! ---

any timeline on presets for More \> Rules for AI? > [@"rules for ai" features](https://forum.cursor.com/t/rules-for-ai-features/1607): > > two features that would make “rules for ai” system prompts more useful to me: the ability to save different rules as “presets”. i’m often switching between very different contexts. i don’t want to have to store these rules somewhere else and remember to change them out each time. bonus if this were saved with the “VS Code” workspace. the ability to @ reference embedding. (“always refer to @ before doing \_\_\_\_”) ---
