We do! Cursor comes with a built in autocomplete built to be more intelligent than Github Copilot and others.

It sees your recent edits and has the unique ability to predict edits, making it substantially better than autocomplete alternatives

This is a logical answer in the free tier, less so for those who pay tens of dollars a month for Cursor Pro/Business, then for a feature that is quite requested they send you to pay again to another company…

Personally, I’d rather the Cursor team focus on features that aren’t readily available and done well by Github Copilot and other AI autocomplete solutions. The $20/month Pro tier is already an incredible value considering all the features + 500 fast/unlimited slow GPT-4 calls.

This topic should be updated to say that yes, Cursor does have an autocomplete now, as can be seen 5 seconds into the video at [cursor.com](http://cursor.com).

How do you turn this on?

On two computers that I’m running Cursor on, it’s on. On the third, it’s not.

I can’t find the setting and my Cursor setup seems identical across all three computers.
