Entire repo AI Feature

Hello!

I’m new to coding and I’m playing around with Cursor.

I’m trying to use the AI feature. I know I can get the chat pop up with click Ctrl K, but it does not take into account my entire repo. Pretty sure I know this is possible because I’ve done it before, but for some reason I can’t figure it out now.

Thanks,
Tiago

Hi @tiago ,

Instead of pressing Ctrl + K when you are in the editor, press Ctrl + L.

That will open up the Chat in the sidebar.

There you can choose the Chat with codebase option.

See:

https://docs.cursor.com/context/@-symbols/@-codebase

Try Ctrl L for chatting more broadly and then either @ files or @codebase. Alternatively, try using Compose (Ctrl I). Ctrl K is more for inline edits to your current doc or selected code.
