Currently I keep cursor and intelliJ open simultaneously. Usually use cursors multi file code tool to start projects and then switch back to intelliJ to edit and polish and test. It makes my computer slow and cursor doesn’t reload files that are changed in IntelliJ which is a bit of an annoyance.
I would love this plugin to make the whole thing smoother!
I completely agree with this request and the points raised here. VS Code, while decent for some, often feels like a simple text editor compared to the immense capabilities of PhpStorm and other JetBrains tools. JetBrains has clearly invested a lot of thought into their ecosystem, constantly improving and setting the bar high for developer productivity.
Currently, I’m tied to using Copilot, which is useful, but Cursor truly feels like it operates on a whole other level in terms of coding assistance and seamless integration. Having a JetBrains plugin for Cursor would be a game-changer, allowing us to leverage the best of both worlds.
+1 on JetBrains Support in any way!
Cursor is so useful, that it made me to ignore the pain of VSCode existing around it, but guys, please, it would be a relief!
Same here Cursor has better AI no doubt and the way the features integrate but VSCode not a great competitor to Jetbrains their products are just perfect.
So either Jetbrains should acquire Cursor or Cursor should make a plugin for Jetbrains only then it could make sense. Because I’m too old and can’t switch to cursor I tried but it’s just difficult for me not sure why maybe I’m just used to it.
Same here I’m willing to pay $100 per anum for that product without even thinking a second plus cursor is mandatory in our company now but due to being a Jetbrains user can’t use it
God plz!!!
ditto, im experimenting with doing the same.
Yes, please working on this!! I really want it as well!
Yes! Would also really appreciate this!
I hold a dissenting opinion. I hope the team will devote more effort to the AI cursor and avoid adapting to various programming languages, IDEs, and build tools. These are not your “core focus.” Maintaining competitive strength is crucial. @deanrie
I would like to ask for JetBrains integration too. Cursor AI is great but I miss many features of full scale IDE I am used to.
Same here 
+1 from me
+1. Having two IDEs open at the same time, or being forced to switch and learn a new one, can be intimidating.
There are too many to mention. For example: Auto imports, when you add something for another module Goland or Webstorm auto imports it. The built-in debugger support for go, Koltin etc. Ability to “evaluate expressions”. I think for the team at cursor it would be faster to develop a pluginfor Jetbrains
It would be a deal-breaker in our company too. I’ve recently tried cursor and it is amazing in its AI capabilities, but vscode is a step backward for us. I’ve tried it with python, JavaScript/node, c++ and rust. Python and java script are ok, but I haven’t tried debugging or running tests. Then I tried c++ and it reminded me why we switched to clion… In rust it was a little better, but I couldn’t run debugger. After spending an hour trying to make it work I just started rustrover…
Now we are using jetbrains IDEs with copilot and switching to cursor is not an option. I’m trying to find any plugin giving similar integration of AI features, so if you make one, we’re in.
Haven’t seen anyone mention this but a big blocker for me using Cursor is I use a near Jetbrains full suite (Goland, Rider, PyCharm and IntelliJ) with IdeaVim plugin as a recovering Vim user. Over the years my IdeaVim has gotten pretty big, bespoke and my workflow very optimized around it. Key thing here is it works with all the IDEs.
There probably something in “don’t build super bespoke IDE flows old man”, but worth noting for me personally any gains from Cursor are just shattered by loss of productivity from missing all my keybindings (80+ in my case).
Hey,
One of Cursor’s main benefits over being a plugin or an extension is that we have full access to the entire editor to add features and functionality.
While I agreeing that having the power of Cursor inside JetBrains products would be great, it’s unlikely to be a focus for the team in the near future!
I wrote a tutorial on how I use IntelliJ and Cursor by making smart use of your system’s default app to open certain file types.
Example workflow could be like this:
And there are many more use cases What’s important is your systems default app for opening a certain type of file, shortcuts and save on focus change.
Here’s the full tutorial hope it helps: How To Use 🦾 Cursor AI with IntelliJ or Android Studio 👾
That’s a great news that you focus on Cursor / VScode editor.
