I currently use “Normal Chat” mode on Cursor, but after watching some YouTube videos, it seems “Interpreter Mode” might be more suitable for certain tasks. I have a few questions about its capabilities:
- Does it have unrestricted access throughout your entire project, as defined in your .cursorignore file?
- Can it autonomously create new files?
- Does it require confirmation for each action, or does it proceed to create new files on its own?
- Will it automatically populate a new file with code?
- What are the typical use cases for choosing “Interpreter Mode” over “Normal Chat”?
On a side note, I want to mention that Cursor has been a game-changer for me. As an indie developer, what used to take me hours now feels like I’m operating at a mid-level developer’s pace. It’s truly transformative for managing my side projects.
