Quick Semantic Code Search with Hotkey

Ideas Feature Requests
1

Describe the request

Add a hotkey-triggered dialog that lets you search your codebase using natural language queries.

Example workflow:

  1. Press hotkey (e.g., Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+F)
  2. Type: “Where is my auth redirect logic?”
  3. Get instant results showing relevant files and code locations

This would be much faster than traditional file/text search when you remember what code does but not where it lives. The AI already understands code semantically - let’s make that searchable with a quick command.

Benefits:

  • Faster code navigation
  • No need to remember exact function names or file locations
  • Natural language queries feel intuitive
  • Reduces context switching and grep hunting

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

a certain keyboard shortcut that opens a floating ai search box where user can type i.e. “form slug to condition mapper” and it’ll search the codebase for hits, when user clicks on a result the floating window disappears and file is opened. Hitting the shortcut again brings results back up again, there’s a button to click to clear the search.

Idea is just AI-powered cmd + shift + F
