How to quickly toggle AI code suggestions on or off

AKA “inline suggestions”. You might want to do this if you’re annoyed by the constant suggestions but then 25% of the time they’re awesome.

There are more than a few posts on this, and even the Agent you use in Cursor itself is wrong about this, so here is the definitive answer until they create a reliable “please suggest” keyboard shortcut:

  1. <ctrl+shift+p>
  2. Type “Open Keyboard Shortcuts”
  3. Search for “Toggle Cursor Tab”
  4. Double click it
  5. Press the key combination you want (I chose ctrl+shift+space)
  6. Hit {enter}

That’s it.

Now, when you are coding and you just want to be left alone so you can think:
ctrl+shift+space
Toggles all that ■■■■ off

And when you want to see a suggestion:
ctrl+shift+space
{space}
{delete}

To see it re-appear
