Zed style subtle mode

Feature Requests
1

I’d really like something like what Zed is offering about code suggestions. The current way Cursor is working is very annoying and distracting. Sometimes, I need to think about what to write, and the continuing suggestion of code too often stops my thinking, mostly when the entire code is shifted up or down!

I tried Zed, and I really like its “subtle mode” which allows to hold a key (e.g. OPTION on Mac) to show the suggestion and then press tab to accept it. This way, I can decide when I want to view a suggestion in the editor. I am seriously thinking of leaving Cursor just because of this feature (!!!)

In any case, to have at least an option to make suggestions less intrusive and avoid code shifting would be great!

Thank you!

I really hope so! Many other people are annoyed by the continuing prompting with no way to stop or delay it:

Please guys do this !
Hold option to see code suggestions, not popping up when not wanted.

Hold option key to see code suggestion, press TAB while holding option key to ACCEPT the suggestion.

Release option key without pressing TAB to hide the suggestion again.

Normal TAB left unmolested. (One can rebind it, but this behaviour suggested is much more intuitive I think)

This can all be configurable between
→ Auto suggest code completions and accept with TAB
→ Only suggest code completions while holding ALT/MAC-OPTION and accept by pressing TAB while still holding option.
