Luke from Cursor here. Awesome video, made me smile. Thanks for being part of the community! Excited to make Cursor even better for you :)

[@redpillsatori3020]

Thanks for putting all of us devs out of work. lol

[@VivaLasVegusNervana]

​@redpillsatori3020 it's made your job way easier. Sure it's made a few more devs out of pleabs, but you have way more knowledge than them and a very useful tool.

[@sanderschat]

Luke, dont know you, probably never will... but thank you and guys at Cursor. I am creating my first swiftUI project to build my first app all with Cursor. (normally i do PHP development) And my mind keeps blown away by the possibilities or capabilities. It is truly a gem. And a looooot of fun be coding like this. So, compliments! and keep it coming.

[@lukemelas]

@@sanderschat Thank you so much for the kind comment, makes my day :)

[@GeorgeFoxRules]

This is a great high-level overview. Thank you so much for putting this video together.🎉

[@DevelopersDigest]

Thanks for watching and all the great questions!

[@四处闲逛君]

The interaction way of cursor is very good, and good explaining!

[@DevelopersDigest]

Thanks!

[@GeorgeFoxRules]

The other thought I have is when you have really large files it’s helpful to reactor them into smaller files that are more manageable and that refactoring is some thing that seems to be easier to do with copy paste rather than working with specific files that you already have in focus. I wonder how cursor helps Refactoring of a very large file into multiple smaller files without leaving their user interface?

[@DevelopersDigest]

I have tested this in the composer view - it does have the ability to create new files + directories for you which could help for refactors like this

[@diazo5679]

Great video. Best I have seen on cursor and well explained. Amazing

[@AlvinaManley]

aitutorialmaker AI fixes this. Cursor revolutionizes code editing, AI.

[@valentineorga]

Love the VS Code adoption

[@310jex]

how does Cursor AI treat your codes? Does it upload my codes to the cloud and then train AI models? If you are working on an institution and use Cursor AI, will there be a concern in terms of service?

[@igiigiint]

what language is it?

[@DevelopersDigest]

Typescript + framework is next js

[@teamtom]

not clear for me what Free tier includes; the 2000 completions + 50 slow premium requests + 200 cursor-small uses are for a month (refilled in every month) or one time (if any of list depletes then free options is over)

[@FarzanDoroodgar]

If you’re a free user you can check when you got the first email from us in your inbox. Your usage will reset every month from that date.

Thanks for the video!

sorry* didnt mean to advert. Good video!

[@DevelopersDigest]

Thank you

[@GeorgeFoxRules]

Once you accept the changes, do you lose your ability to undo the work? I guess you could use a git push to save your work before you start an iteration, but a lot of times I like to do and undo if Sonnet 3.5 breaks the code using visual studio code to quickly revert back to a known good state Even before doing a git push.

[@DevelopersDigest]

You can undo - but it never hurts to commit your work... I would be mindful of this for beta features like composer just to be safe though

[@Prince-nn6ig]

Can I used to fix bugs by selecting multiple files and it will select wherever the issue is and change that part ?

[@DevelopersDigest]

Correct - yes you can

[@chrisr236]

How do I get that composer view?

[@DevelopersDigest]

cmd + i / cmd + shift + i (for full screen) I’d imagine it would be a similar cmd on windows

[@ahmedebenhassine2828]

Any idea how to access class or function defintion, i tried ctrl + click but didint work ?

[@cyberthugFi]

youtubers really be giving out the sauce, thats crazy

[@GeorgeFoxRules]

I love their application I just wish I could use my own API keys AND not buy one of their plans. I’m assuming their code does the interleaving for you so that you don’t have to get the entire code file from Sonnet 3.5 their application does the interleaving of code which means that the amount of tokens that their application uses is probably very low.

[@DevelopersDigest]

docs.cursor.com/miscellaneous/api-keys#custom-api-keys You can add your custom keys, here are some of the options if you'd like!

Subscribed to hear back in a months time! I am considering swapping over from vs code and co pilot but not full convinced yet.

[@apachebcn]

yo he intentado que me haga un refactor de una variable en django, y no ha habido forma, ha sido como un vulgar gpt, si lo hacía con el ctrl+K y le decía "cambia este nombre de variable en todo el proyecto", solo me cambiaba el de ese fichero

[@DevelopersDigest]

cmd k just works in the file, to open composer its is cmd+shift+i

[@panicraptor2837]

I tried this but ultimately went back to VScode. The DX is ways better with a VScode plugin like cody, especially if you want to run your own LLM. For some reason they made that really hard to do in cursor.

[@altered.thought]

Which AI tooling can one consider, if i want to migrate a rather large MERN stack codebase to NextJS?

[@holetarget4925]

The composer features is genius. It update all files at once instead to ask Claude to do it one by one

[@rasmic]

first comment!!

[@DevelopersDigest]

[@pragot]

Pretty overrated. For some small Front-End apps could be perhaps helpful but for medium to big enterprise multi-tiered applications with web-services, access to database and so on... is not suitable.

[@muzzi1984]

Ok

[@MrGarg10may]

😂 you have no idea, how much powerful this thing is. Probably you haven't used it, or have no idea about development

[@growingisgood]

you're not optimally explaining things. You need to spend more time explaining exactly what you clicked to get the result rathar than "just look at what i'm doing"
