Is there a way to keep Inline Suggestions / Cursor Tab ON but only SHOW if I hit a hotkey / keybinding?

I figured out I can snooze cursor tab which is great, but I’d like if it could stay on but never suggest anything until I hit a specific hotkey / keybinding.

Is this possible?

Hey, is this possibly what you want?

Zed style subtle mode

I’d really like something like what Zed is offering about code suggestions. The current way Cursor is working is very annoying and distracting. Sometimes, I need to think about what to write, and the continuing suggestion of code too often stops my thinking, mostly when the entire code is shifted up or down! I tried Zed, and I really like its “subtle mode” which allows to hold a key (e.g. OPTION on Mac) to show the suggestion and then press tab to accept it. This way, I can decide when I want t…

Basically, yes.

I already solved this in VSCode a while back:

But I guess now that I’m on Cursor and it has it’s own custom “Tab Complete” it doesn’t work with these VSCode settings. I’ve tried a few things with no luck so that’s why I’m here wondering how to solve this.

It doesn’t need to be complicated. Just give us a setting to trigger it like VSCode already has, or go all out and add Zed’s “subtle mode” with holding to show and a key to accept!
