Sorry to hear you are still having difficulty getting it up and running.
Perhaps create a folder in your Documents
folder named something like MyCursorPlayground
.
Add some files in there.
In Cursor, click on File
> Open Folder
and select MyCursorPlayground
.
Now, instead of seeing .cursor-tutor
in your Cursor sidebar, you will see MyCursorPlayground
and its contents.
Double click the files in the sidebar to open them in the editor area.
Hopefully Cursor will start playing nicely for you then and you can start testing out its features more.
Ctrl
+ L
brings up the Cursor Chat in a side panel.
Ctrl
+ K
can be used within the Editor
to generate code - highlight relevant code first to pass it in as context to your prompt.
Ctrl
+ K
can be used within the Terminal
to generate terminal commands.
Ctrl
+ I
can be used within the Editor
to do multi-file editing and creation, eg you can say something like:
Create a folder called
MyFirstTestWebsite
that has CSS and JS folder and an index.html file. Make the website have motivational colors and quotes throughout it, and add some fun, snappy JavaScript functionality.
It will then suggest new folders, files and code to be created, and you can click Accept All
to accept all the suggestions.
Here is a screenshot of the site the above prompt created .
