Currently, if I’m hovering over an Intellisense suggestion, but there’s also a Copilot++ inline suggestion, pressing Tab prioritizes Copilot++ over Intellisense. I’m used to using Tab with Intellisense and a different binding for copilot suggestions. I’ve been playing around with settings and keybi…

Not as of now I assume. There has been a feature request for this. I had the same problem and had to relearn using Tab for copilot++ and another keybinding for intellicence. Now it seems fine though, as I’m using copilot++ much more often than intellicence or other quick suggestions.

@amanrs is it functionally challenging to make them configurable because of the race condition? From my perspective, it does add a level of friction. I’m coming over to Cursor from Webstorm/Pycharm. I used VS Code for years, but in the last year have preferred Jetbrains + Copilot over VS Code. Curs…

Thanks for the feedback, it shouldn’t be terrible, but we’ll look into it.

Please make the Cursor Tab (formerly CoPilot++) accept action configurable. Just went through these frustrating steps: I am experimenting with Cursor from a bespoke NeoVim setup. I want to use Alt+End (I use an unusual keyboard layout), not Tab, to accept Cursor Tab suggestions. I search “Tab” in …

[image] vxm5091: Is it possible to change the keybinding for accepting Copilot++ suggestion from Tab to something else? [image] smackesey: Please make the Cursor Tab (formerly CoPilot++) accept action configurable. +100 on this. This is so frustrating. I am unnecessarily occupying you…

Another vote on this! I truly hate the tab key binding. I use tab to navigate through my code while i work. Cursor copilot++ suggestions are subtle, and most often off the screen to the right, so it is very easy to accidentally accept additions and, much worse, deletions to my code while i navigate…

+1 on this. Please, please, please make the Cursor Tab accept keybinding configurable. It makes writing/navigating code a pain with cursor tab enabled, forcing me to disable it even though I would love to use it with a different keybinding.

I also had to disable Cursor Tab due to it overriding other commands that rely on tab (e.g. intellisense, indentation), but I’d like to assign it to another shortcut (e.g. cmd+tab).

+1 on this. I’m actually debating reverting to vscode because this doesn’t exist
