Luke from Cursor here. Thanks for the awesome video -- really comprehensive and well-made! We're working on making Composer even smarter so it can handle the types of inputs you gave it :) . And we're always interested in your feedback to make Cursor even better!

Just clicked through four other videos on Cursor before this one. This is by far the best. The others were insufferable. Just a lot of talk about nothing. This vid gets straight to the point of demoing Cursor and keeps rolling.

After taking over a front-end heavy project, I started using Cursor as my development tool. The first issue I had to tackle was a piece of validation code that kept failing. The previous team couldn't figure out the cause no matter what they tried. But I just kept asking Cursor which parts of the code were related to the validation. By following its analysis and diving into different files, it only took me about ten minutes to pinpoint the problem. It was an unbelievable experience!

Was resisting the move to cursor, watched a few videos and was unconvinced but now I'm sold! Great video, thanks!

I have been using Cursor for about 3 months now and absolutely enjoy it so far. It's crazy that it knows what I am thinking in regards to code. I would be like 'Now I need to add this here' and I would start typing and it would put exactly what I was going to put. Pretty crazy. Worth every dime and would recommend.

I don't know anything about programming, I accidentally came across a post on X about Cursor... I searched on YouTube and found you, my new best friend!! Thanks, bro, for this amazing video. Greetings from Argentina. Keep it up.

[adipradhan]

Probably the best video on using cursor out there. thanks!

[RickOnPlanetEarth]

Thank you! The other cursor tutorials were so frustrating and lacking any substance. Finally found one that is good!

[nabeelkausari]

Great explanation! I saw many Cursor tutorials but couldn’t find quality ones. Your videos stand out! Excited to check your full-stack app video. Keep up the great work!

[giranmoo]

This was a brilliant video highlighting how we can best use Cursor. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your insights! ❤

Really good and well explained tutorial on using Cursor, showing the essential features in actual no-nonsense work. Thank you!

Ctrl+K: This command is used to highlight some code and then write some instructions for the AI to iterate on that code or to take that code into account and do something that you want it to do.


Ctrl+L: This command is used to summon the chat window.


Ctrl+Z: This command is used to undo the changes made by the AI.


Ctrl+Enter: This command is used to search the entire codebase for a specific string.

i know zero web stuff, I made a react web app + database + stripe integration + video library with Claude by manually doing this process. Cursor looks like it makes it faster, can’t wait to jump in

[rogerthao]

Great video showing the powers of Cursor. Thanks for creating it!

[anarcho]

Claud helps me a lot in coding small changes and debugging my code. This is cool, I can use all the AI features I like with a version of my favorite Code Editor
Cool Video 💯

[nebilic]

This is a game changer and a great way to showcase the power of Cursor. Thank you!

[tauflife]

Really helpful. Thanks a lot for the great breakdown. Looking forward to other videos! 🤙

[talals]

Writing code is one of several stages, all you see now is just improving productivity

[djkpnz]

Awesome video - thanks for the clear and productive insights and examples 😊

[jaysonp]

This was excellent. Keep up the good work 👍

I've been using AI to write code for 2 years all day every day...as in I don't write code anymore.

I found the actual skill is providing a consistent prompt that only moves one goal at a time and being as redundant in the prompt as possible for that goal.

It's like explaining what you want to an alien who barely understands English but can do anything you ask.
