Yes, unfortunately the same. Also, the notebook suggestions are broken.
I think it really needs an adjustable delay option, right now it’s really distracting, especially after 1.0.
Honestly the Cursor Tab needs an adjustable “how much should it try to change” option too. Sometimes, it tries to write whole 5-10 line functions which almost always end up being completely wrong or terrible. If I press ESC like 4 times to try and coax it, sometimes it will get in a mode where it does a line at a time which is just wonderful and works so much better.
There should be a default to make it do this though. Honestly it was such a huge pro of GitHub Copilot back when I still used it, that I almost want to go back. These models do so much better as a line autocomplete rather than trying to write whole features that they don’t understand. Whenever it’s auto-completing by a single line only, the model almost feels like magic.
This is relevant to the thread because yeah, Cursor Tab is doing too much.

Well said. I encountered this again yesterday. I like the idea of one line at a time. If Cursor can let you set whether you want to drive or not it will be great. If I am driving, I really appreciate the “compelte one line” help but I don’t want to spend most of the time deleting auto-completed code.
Other times I am in “vibe” mode and I am happy for it to write a lot of code. If we can have this option it could maybe solve a lot of the problems with this feature.
While the Cursor Tab feature is very nice to have in some situations (eg.: cleaning up small stuff after refactoring) it desperately need some knobs and settings.
It’s WAY to distracting/inaccurate to have on all the time now.
It should be possible to have it running in the background and press a key to show the current suggestions instead of how it works today where it pops up immediately. (I’m quite sure that toggling off/on does not do this. If I turn it on, no suggestion come until I do some new edit)
I’m sure the underlying model have some knobs as well? Please expose these as experimental settings. I’ll gladly trade “precision” for less “recall”.
