How to display multiple code completion suggestions

I work on a Mac using the Apple compact keyboard with Cursor AI, but I’m new to it and am used to PyCharm. In PyCharm, I can view multiple Copilot code completion suggestions by pressing ‘Cmd+Enter,’ but I can’t find the shortcut that does the same in Cursor. Which shortcut should I use?

Hey, Cursor doesn’t offer similar suggestion options like Copilot.

Is this on the roadmap, or should I submit a feature request? Also, is there a way to cycle through possible code completions?

Thanks for your interest in this. Offering multiple suggestions, like a copilot, is only necessary when the AI is not trustworthy enough to provide the right answer the first time.

While offering multiple suggestions is a good way to provide users with more AI choices, the real problem here is the AI not providing a good enough response the first time, hence the need to provide multiple responses.

At Cursor, we favor working to get the AI to provide the right answer the first time, over giving you another mechanism to let the AI “have another go”.

If you have any examples of bad suggestions for the AI completion, I’d be interested to see them, as we’d much rather fix the completions to be correct the first time!

Thanks @danperks Multiple code completions let you quickly see different solutions side-by-side. This helps you spot mistakes, get fresh ideas, and pick the best fit for your code…etc
