I am enjoying Cursor, but I find that most of the time I have to disable “Cursor Tab”. It tries to do too much. Feels like a very annoying and overeager junior dev is trying to edit the same file while I am actually trying to code.
Sometimes I want to just sleep it for 10 or 20s so I can get my thoughts out.
And if I cancel its help by hitting ESC I find that sometimes it just suggests something new. I find myself hitting esc + tab to try indent before it can inject a new suggestion and when I lose I end up with a boatload of code I didn’t want.
I could be doing something wrong and perhaps I haven’t made the right settings.
Is this about changing which shortcut key applies the Cursor Tab suggestions?
I spoke to a friend who said that they changed the shortcut for cursor tab to be something else “in order to take their tab back”.
Hoping it can be resolved, whether a change in cursor or the right combination of settings so I can get more out of Cursor.
I just learnt to switch tab off when it gets too much. I use the bottom-right menu. Its annoying but doesn’t seem like it will change. I think there is a lot of experimentation going on. Would love it if there was a cheaper tier for people who want to be subjected to these tweaks and then if you want something stable you pay full price. Every day seems to be different in cursor land.
+1 here. I like Cursor Tab a lot, but it is incredibly annoying how jumpy it is and distracting it is when I want to type some thoughts out. It really gets in the way sometimes.
I tried so hard to find a keyboard shortcut configuration to allow me to manually trigger Cursor Tab only when I want it, but I have not had such luck.
Thanks @Ivor1 for pointing out the bottom-right menu. I will have to try manually toggling it here-and-there.
If anyone else finds any solutions for this, please chime in. This is one of my most frustrating points using this editor.
