Cursor: Revolutionizing Code Editing with AI

In this video, I revisit Cursor, a code editor originally covered on this channel about a year and a half ago. Cursor has evolved significantly since then, boasting a range of new features and capabilities. I provide a detailed demo showcasing its standout features, including its seamless transition from VS Code, its robust support for various code models, and its impressive AI-driven coding assistance tools. Key highlights include a mobile view demo, feature integration for improving UI elements, and efficient troubleshooting using AI. I also discuss Cursor’s pricing tiers and free trial options, making it accessible for both beginners and seasoned developers. Join me as I explore Cursor's potential to revolutionize the coding experience.

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

[GeorgeFoxRules]

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

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

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?

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

[IdeaStealer]

youtubers really be giving out the sauce, thats crazy

[ThorH]

sorry* didnt mean to advert.

Good video!

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.

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)

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

[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.

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

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.

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?

[Prince-nnig]

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

[ahmedebenhassine]

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

[altered.thought]

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

[holetarget]

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

[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.

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"
