Accept suggestions line by line

The cursor sometimes provides multi-line suggestions, but I would like to accept them line by line. This is because some suggestions might not be what I want, or I might need to modify the suggested content. If suggestions could be accepted line by line, it would be very convenient.

Additionally, when I press the combination of the Cmd key and the right arrow key, I am unable to accept suggestions character by character.

Under the Cursor tab settings section, we have a setting called partial accepts which should let you accept the code suggestion word by word and therefore line by line instead of the whole thing.

Not sure if this is exactly what you were hoping for, but this may get you a bit closer to the granularity you were hoping for?

I want to be able to accept edits word-by-word or line-by-line. This doesn’t work when I accept edits suggested by Cursor Tab. I’m not sure whether this is a bug or a missing feature.

Bump on this, this is a pretty important feature that would be a significant upgrade and (I think) not much effort to implement, so a potentially very easy win!

VSCode has the Accept Next Line Of Inline Suggestion command available which does this. Ironically it’s visible in Cursor’s keyboard shortcuts panel since it’s a fork of VSCode, but the command doesn’t actually do anything since it’s specific to VSCode / Github Copilot:

A quick google search showed at least a few other people actively looking for this feature, this year:

And as a comment in the last link here mentions, accepting word-by-word is somewhat a workaround but not very ergonomic.

Also running into this error but for me it was a setting in cursor tab that was disabled
