New user, subscribed, running Cursor on Windows. I can’t seem to get the CTRL+Enter to work. My understanding is that using that I can chat with my entire code solution (currently showing in the code explorer window).
When I press CTRL+Enter absolutely nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for sharing this @rfphill. If you are referring to the composer, it should be CTRL+I. I am not sure in which context you are trying to use CTRL+ENTER. Happy to look into it if you can share more details though?
It might be the context or focus of where the cursor is when you hit that key combination (perhaps you’re in the debug, terminal or code window and you mean to be in the chat or composer window, etc.). Try clicking in the window where you want Ctrl-Enter to apply, @rfphill. Otherwise, perhaps share a screenshot of where you’re attempting this and what you expect versus what you see.
My understanding is that when I want to “chat” to my codebase, I would hit ctrl +enter and it would pull all the files that are in the file treeview (on the left) to be part of the context…
Thanks for sharing the screenshot and additional explanation. What I’m seeing is in the center code pane, there’s a CTL-K (generate) window open and then on the right chat pane that you’re pointing out, there’s no text within that chat window (though it does show the context of the current file).
What I think you’d want to do is type your chat instructions in that chat window on the right and then if you want it to look at your indexed codebase, you can CTL-Enter (if that chat window is where your current context/blinking cursor is located). Note you can also just click the “codebase” button for the same effect.
Separate from all this, like @petros mentioned, you may want to look into using Composer (CTL-I), which is similar but unique to chat, and can be helpful with looking at multiple files in your project (aka codebase).
