Cursor Tab Overview

Welcome back. Cursor Tab is one of Cursor's outstanding AI features, designed to go beyond simple autocomplete. Unlike other tools that focus on generating new code, Cursor Tab is designed to help with the real work of development - editing and refining existing code. Cursor understands your recent edits and uses this context to predict your next move, providing intelligent, targeted code suggestions. When tools like Copilot came along, they changed the way we code, allowing us to quickly generate new code with just a tab. But many developers found they still had to delete lines or rewrite sections to fit Copilot's suggestions, adding extra keystrokes. While Copilot shines at generating new code, much of our day-to-day work involves improving what's already there. Cursor Tab addresses this need by focusing on edits rather than simple insertions. Its AI model is trained on sequences of small code changes, enabling it to respond to your current coding flow. Cursor Tab understands what you’ve been working on in recent minutes, so when you hit Tab, it’s already a step ahead, ready to make the exact edit you need. Cursor Tab’s benefits go further. You can write pseudocode, press Tab, and watch as Cursor converts it into working code. Or, with a single Tab on a lint error, you can instantly apply the fix. And that makes it stand out from other tools at the moment, making it feel much smarter and more reliable.
