Code completions not working and wrong suggestions

Hello,

While typing code I am not getting any code completion suggestions (like in gray, ghost text) but only like in a pop-up box that only suggests the next variable or method. On top of that I keep getting suggestions to fix whole blocks of code that are unrelated to my current intent.

I have looked it up but I only find the fix by enabling the ‘Cursor Tab’ option on the bottom right corner of the screen, but it’s already enabled. And it is clear that it’s not working properly as the suggestions are off…

I’m actually typing and it gives me suggestions somewhere else…

How can I make it work correctly?

Hey, I can see the screenshots. It looks like Cursor Tab isn’t showing ghost text in a Jupyter notebook, and instead you’re only seeing the standard pop-up suggestions and some unrelated edit suggestions.

This is a known issue specific to Jupyter notebooks. We’ve seen similar reports before and have fixed them in the past. A couple quick questions to start:

  • What Cursor version are you on? Help > About
  • What OS are you using?
  • Does Cursor Tab work normally in regular .py files?

In the meantime, can you try this:

  • Make sure Cursor Tab is set to enabled, not paused, in the bottom-right corner
  • Create a new, clean .ipynb and test there
  • Open the Command Palette with Cmd+Shift+P or Ctrl+Shift+P, then run Developer: Reload Window

For context, here’s a similar thread: Cursor Tab completions in Jupyter notebooks stopped working again

Let me know what you find, and we’ll dig in from there.
