I don’t want to see this inlay hint:
There is this option to disable it
“Features > Show chat/edit tooltip”
But this removes all the Cursor Tab features! How unfortunate! I thought Cursor Tab was broken or not working well for my code.

Tangent: what theme are you running? Looks nice, I’d like to give it a test drive.
@ryunuck im away from computer now, but I’m pretty sure turning off the ctrl k widget/button does not disable tab functionality - ie where you see the little ‘TAB’ icon appearing where Cursor thinks you probably want to edit next?

I will test when I next get back to computer and post back to confirm.
This is Melange Redux Dark! it’s a warm brown mocha / earthy theme, super nice and comforting for long nights of coding

Hi @ryunuck,
I did this test when running Cursor 0.39.0:
-
Confirmed that
Show chat/edit tooltipsetting wasOFF -
Made some edits to see if the various ‘Cursor Tab’ features were working
Attached are screenshots of:
-
The
Show chat/edit tooltipsetting turned toOFF -
Various ‘Cursor Tab’ functionality still being present, ie:
- Code Generation
- Multi-Line Edits
- Smart Rewrites
- Cursor Prediction
-
Toolbar settings for ‘Cursor Tab’ in bottom-right of screen
I must admit, however, that this process made me realise that I don’t really know the specific names of each feature and how to distinguish between them - I just know ‘cool stuff’ is happening.
I am also coming from Sublime Text, so I am not sure what is default VS Code behaviour and what behaviour is specific to Cursor.
So, in case it helps others, here is some related research.
If I refer to this page:
https://www.cursor.com/features
There are 4 features specified in the ‘Cursor Tab’ section.
Below is my understanding of each of them.
Cursor Tab (previously known as Copilot ++)
The name for a collection of features that involve using the ‘tab’ button.
These are:
01) Code Generation
Official Description:
Cursor sees your recent changes, so it can predict what you want to do next.
How I Understand It:
This is like an ‘autocomplete’ feature, suggested text is light grey.
02) Multi-Line Edits
Official Description:
Cursor can suggest multiple edits at once, saving you time.
How I Understand It:
This is just ‘autocomplete’ across multiple lines, suggested text is light grey.
03) Smart Rewrites
Official Description:
Type carelessly, and Cursor will fix your mistakes.
How I Understand It:
This is different to the previous ‘autocomplete’ features and is more of an ‘autocorrect’ feature, where a correction is shown in a box.
04) Cursor Prediction
Official Description:
Cursor predicts your next cursor position so you can seamlessly navigate your code.
How I Understand It:
Cursor shows a tab icon where it predicts you want to make your next change - by pressing the tab key, it moves you to that line, where you can then continue to accept suggested changes.
