Does Cursor.ai support C/C++?

I am new to this IDE, I heard it is awesome, just installed and imported the everything from VSCode, however I cannot find a way to configure the C/C++ like how to integrate the clang-format with Cursor.ai, I opened settings.json found may C/C++ related configurations are marked as “Unknown Configuration Setting”, for example:

I tried to reinstall the C/C++ language support extension but I cannot find the one created by Microsoft (which is available in VSCode extension marketplace). Does anyone know how to configure it for C/C++? Thanks.

Add the docs to the chat. @/Docs

Yes, it support C/C++, but I recommend you install a C/C++ extension.

Why I could not find the C/C++ extension provided by Microsoft? It is available in VSCode marketplace but not found in Cursor.ai marketplace. @tangjun

Hi @codewarrior ,

I am not familiar with these extensions, but I just did a search in my Cursor extensions sidebar and could see a C/C++ for Visual Studio Code extension by ms-vscode, is that what you are looking for?

You could perhaps open up dev tools via:

Cursor > Help > Toggle Developer Tools

and then switch to the Console tab and see if you get any errors when you try and search for things in the marketplace.

I know that one other user had some issues with getting themes from the marketplace, so perhaps it is a similar issue?

Perhaps also share system information from:

Cursor > Help > About

No I cannot find that extension:

@litecode

@codewarrior

Did you click on this before looking up the extension?

Cursor > Help > Toggle Developer Tools (and then click on Console)

It might show you if some request is failing during the lookup etc.

Also, please copy/paste system info from:

Cursor > Help > About

Anyway I managed to install the extensions manually, following this: Extension | Cursor - The AI-first Code Editor
@litecode

just search c++

My screenshot shows that I could not find the C/C++ extension. I manually installed it finally. @tangjun
