I was using Supermaven before it got acquired by Cursor and I loved it. Now I love Tab even more.
But I don’t really want to use Cursor as an editor. I am a neovim guy.
We got a cli and an sdk for custom agents. Why can’t we get Tab as a callable service that we can integrate into other editors then?
The only way right now is to “hack” around requests and impersonate Cursor app to make Tab work in neovim. But it’s definitely against ToS even though it is ethically “okay” IMO as you still pay for your sub for that.
It would’ve been really great if we got some sort of autocomplete integration module inside cursor sdk.
hey @nfrid, it’s nice to have you here.. well, as you probably have guessed, nowedays appart from third party solution, there is no real editor agnostic solution for Cursor Tab, tho I have to say, (of course I can’t find it now that I want to look it up T^T) I remember vaguely lee rob or maybe it was eric from the cursor team saying they will look into porting tab into something accessible outside of the ide, tho, as of now, there’s no way to confirm it and even less an eta.. so yeah.. tho, lots of third party out there! have a good day! thanks for your patience
Hey, thanks for the feature request. The request is clear, and it’s not a one-off. There are similar threads for Neovim Cursor plugin for Neovim? and JetBrains Please consider a JetBrains plugin with lots of activity, so this is on our radar.
But to be honest, right now we’re not actively working on moving Tab into an editor-agnostic service via the SDK. The Cursor SDK currently only covers agent features, and Tab is tightly tied to the VS Code extension host. Making it a separate API would be a major architectural change, not an incremental feature. There’s no ETA for this.
Please keep the thread going. Votes and comments here help with prioritization. If anything changes around the SDK or external Tab integrations, I’ll come back and post an update.
