I’d like to share some feedback about how dismissing Cursor Tab suggestions with the Escape key currently works. Overall, the behavior feels inconsistent.
Often (~30% of cases) after pressing Escape to dismiss a suggestion, Cursor immediately reopens an (almost) identical suggestion. In these cases, I end up pressing Escape multiple times before the prompt finally stays hidden. This usually happens when I pause to read what I just wrote.
Additionally, I’ve noticed that after dismissing a suggestion like this, Cursor Tab will sometimes stay completely silent and refuse to offer any new recommendations for a while. There doesn’t seem to be a clear trigger or pattern.
Ideally, pressing Escape should close the current suggestion and keep Cursor Tab silent until I interact with the editor again (moving the cursor, typing, etc.). Then, as soon as I do something, Cursor Tab should resume offering suggestions as usual.
I am not sure if this is a bug, or a feature, that I am not getting, or just undefined behavior, which is why I post this as feedback. I hope someone can enlighten me, in case I’m doing something wrong.
