Auto-Accept Code Revisions & File Reading

Consider: I’m not a trained Engineer. I’m a Product Manager historically.

So, I generally find myself accepting code change suggestions, testing, then adjusting requirements if needed.

As such, I find myself waiting on several prompt chains and ‘command-enter’-ing at the end of each.

It’d be awesome if there were a way to toggle ‘auto accept’ for code suggestion or reading files for speed and ease of use.

Just a thought…

I disagree. If the code is auto-accepted, you’ll find that can’t check it before it become your code. There needs to be a way to distinguish between suggested code and actual code.

Ah yes, but you assume I’m competent with the coding side of things :slight_smile:

That’s what reviewing the code before committing is for

I don’t think that there’s a dispute about the role (and value) of reviewing code. However, there is a userbase of cursor (I’m part of that) that wouldn’t have opened an IDE and write some code. I hear of many Product Managers who use Cursor to build proof-of-concepts, prototypes, or even pretotypes using it.

I find myself accepting all changes, but often questioning the approach Cursor takes in building or troubleshooting.

This is the way. Most developers use Git to track changes. The Git view I always use has two panels, with the highlighting old code in red, and the right highlighting new code in green.

After the AI makes changes, the left still has old in red, but now the right has both old (in red) and new(in green). It’s just a jumbled mess that’s hard to read.

So I’m constantly hitting “accept changes” just to get to a nice Git view to review before committing. The extra step is annoying. Let it change whatever it wants, and let Git do its thing. It’s bizarre to have this change tracking double-implemented.

fully agree w @hazzurim auto accept would be amazing. ya ya we know the real developers have their way of doing stuff

and were talking about a setting. so if you dont like it, dont use it. but theres a big population that would love this

This would be an amazing value add. Of course, an “undo” button to revert to the last version would be appreciated as paired with this.
