Cursor Tab overrides IntelliSense

Discussions

Hi everyone,

I’m a FE developer and ever since I moved to Cursor, I have an issue that bothers me. When I’m trying to add a new component to a template (I use Vue.js), I get two suggestions: one from Cursor Tab (inline autocomplete) and one from the IDE’s IntelliSense (the dropdown with suggested component names).

If I click on the suggestion from IntelliSense, the component name is completed, but also automatically IMPORTED. If I press tab, the import does not happen, and I have to scroll all the way up and import it myself.

Does anyone have any idea how I can override the default behavior of Cursor and have it actually import the component using IntelliSense, not a guess made by AI?

Hi @ocatarama and welcome to Cursor Forum.

Thank you for your post, currently Cursor Tab behavior can not be controlled as it is an AI suggestion but we will consider your feedback for improvements.

You can override the keyboard shortcut used for Tab in Editor Settings.

Hey, thanks for the report. I already responded to this earlier, and you can take note of it. While we work on improving this experience, you can use Enter to select suggestions from IntelliSense, and use the Tab key to select suggestions from Cursor Tab. Note that you also have the option to change the default Tab key, for example, to Alt + Tab.
