Quickstart

This quickstart will walk you through a project using Cursor’s core features. By the end, you’ll be familiar with Tab, Inline Edit, and Agent.

​

Open a project in Cursor

Use an existing project or clone our example:

git clone git@github.com:voxelize/voxelize.git && \
cd voxelize && \
cursor .

git clone git@github.com:voxelize/voxelize.git && \
cd voxelize && \
cursor .

We’ll be showcasing using the example project, but you can use any project you have locally.

​

Autocomplete with Tab

Tab is the autocomplete model we’ve trained in-house. It’s a great way to ease into AI assisted coding if you’re not used to it. With Tab, you can:

• Autocomplete multiple lines and blocks of code
• Jump in and across files to the next autocomplete suggestion

1. Start typing the beginning of a function:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   function calculate
   

2. Tab suggestions appear automatically
3. Press Tab to accept the suggestion
4. Cursor suggests parameters and function bodies

​

Inline Edit a selection

1. Select the function you just created
2. Press Ctrl+K
3. Type “make this function calculate fibonacci numbers”
4. Press Enter to apply the changes
5. Cursor adds imports and documentation

​

Chat with Agent

1. Open the Chat panel (Ctrl+I)
2. Ask: “Add tests for this function and run them”
3. Agent will create a test file, write test cases, and run them for you
