Cursor is amazing at doing codemod-like changes across multiple files, but it really could be improved in two critical ways:

1. it does not traverse folders very well. I can tell it to modify all the files in @somefolder, and that works great, but if that folder contains subfolders, no luck. it’s very inconsistent.
2. It would be amazing if you can somehow feed the results from the search panel as files into composer!
