Tab completions working and showing code suggestions
Operating System
MacOS

For AI issues: which model did you use?
Tab
Additional Information
What I tried:
- Reloading cursor
- Reinstalling/downgrading Jupyter extension
- Reinstalling downgrading cursor
- Resetting cursor settings
Quick checks:
- Status bar, open a .ipynb file and look at the bottom-right corner. Does it show Cursor Tab is enabled/active for notebooks?
- Cell language, make sure the notebook cell is set to Markdown or Python as needed, not Plain Text. If Plain Text is selected, Tab suggestions might be disabled by your global settings.
- Jupyter extension, confirm the Jupyter extension is installed and active.
- Active and enabled
- Cell language - Python, Kernel active
- Installed and active
Does this stop you from using Cursor
Yes - Cursor is unusable
