Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hi Kamlesh,

What you’re seeing is coming from your shell’s tab completion setup rather than the Cursor itself — but there are a couple of ways to get this working.

The first option would be to configure your shell’s completion directly. You can test whether git checkout <Tab> works in another terminal app like iTerm2 or Terminal.app to confirm. Since Cursor uses your existing shell settings, fixing it there will carry over into Cursor as well.

If you’d rather not dig into shell config, another option is to add this to your settings.json in Cursor:

"terminal.integrated.suggest.enabled": true

This enables Cursor’s own terminal suggestion feature, which is a separate autocomplete system that works inside Cursor’s terminal. Note that this only applies within Cursor and won’t affect your terminal behavior outside of it.

I replicated your setup and verified that the suggest.enabled setting works as expected!

Let me know if you have any follow-ups questions!
