### Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

### Describe the request

As far as I see now AI agent in the Cursor IDE makes refactoring manually very long and often with mistakes or missing something. It would be great if it starts to use built-in IDE tools for refactoring, like moving a file from folder to folder with auto updates of paths in different dependent files, or the same changes for renaming og some variable (interface, type, etc) - which is faster, more consistent, and safer
