Are you chatting with Cmd+Enter or @Codebase? By default, the chat just uses your current file. ---

This button “with codebase” appeared just recently after multiple restarts, index deletion and reindexing… ![Screenshot 2024-01-05 at 15.13.34](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/1X/999c87274bb114866b789ef36237952eb57dbf2b.png) Definitely some UX gap there, it’s not clear what am I missing or what am I capable to do, like do I have the codebase indexed and I can query it? That button seems like the only indicator and if its missing for some reason like in my case, I am just lost and no idea if things are working fine or not… Also on the website I couldn’t find information on where exactly I am supposed to enable or find codebase indexing… I found it by clicking everything I could. Since this is the main use case (at least for majority of people I assume) it should be very clearly described and obvious, but right now feels quite hidden and hard to troubleshoot. Please don’t take this as a complain but more as a feedback for improvement… Now things seem to be working, I can see the step by step process, which files are being considered in the completion etc. Thank you for your reply! 🙏 [Previous page](https://forum.cursor.com/t/cant-index-any-codebase/1457.md?page=2)
