Cursor has the best Tab model, and I feel like their lead there has kept growing - they're doing some really cool things there. https://cursor.com/blog/tab-rl

I wonder how much the methods/systems/data transfer, if they can pull off the same with their agentic coding model that would be exciting.

Tab model is fantastic but I wish it was somehow aware of the conversation happening in the currently active AI chat session.

We also are big Tab users here at Cursor. In the blog we talk about the motivation for this project came from thinking about a Tab-like agent.

I agree, I tried to switch to Zed this week, and I prefer it in all respects, but the tab model is much worse, and it made me switch back. I never imagined I would care so much about a feature I felt was secondary.

I actually find myself using the agent mode less now, I like keeping code lean by hand and avoid technical debt. But I do use the tab completions constantly and they are fantastic now ever since they can jump around the file.

I feel like that's like having a lead in producing better buggy whips.

I run Claude Code in the background near constantly for a variety of projects, with --dangerously-skip-permissions, and review progress periodically. Tabbing is only relevant when it's totally failing to make progress and I have to manually intervene, and that to me is a failure scenario that is happening less and less often.

What are you building with this workflow? Is it an application live in production with users? It is such a foreign way of working to me.

This is just a completely different use of LLMs and has little to do with working at a real business with a live site and users. Cursor is great when you want to gain understanding of an issue quickly, or resolve something clear and specific quickly.

I'm not against YOLO vibe coding, but being against tab completion is just insane to me. At the end of the day, LLMs help you achieve goals quicker. You still need to know what goal you want to achieve, and tab completion basically let's me complete a focused goal nearly as soon as I determine what my goal is.

It's great. BUT: Wish they had selected another shortcut like shift+tab.

Every time I write code myself I find myself racing the AI to get an indentation in before the AI is done... gets annoying

You can change the key bind, I personally set it to ctrl+tab

[typpilol]

What makes it and different from vscodes copilot completions?

Have you tried Windsurfs?
