Cursor is an AI-enhanced integrated development environment (IDE) designed to streamline the coding process by integrating advanced artificial intelligence features directly into the coding environment. Developed by Anysphere Inc., Cursor is a fork of Visual Studio Code, augmented with AI capabilities to assist developers in writing, editing, and understanding code more efficiently.
Key Features:
- AI-Driven Code Generation: Utilize natural language prompts to generate or update code snippets, functions, or entire classes, accelerating the development process.
- Smart Rewrites: Refactor and implement bulk changes across multiple lines of code simultaneously, enhancing code maintainability and readability.
- Codebase Querying: Leverage AI to understand and navigate large codebases by querying in natural language, facilitating easier code comprehension and documentation retrieval.
- Autocompletion and Predictive Editing: Benefit from intelligent code suggestions and predictive editing features that anticipate subsequent code edits, improving coding speed and accuracy.
- Extension Compatibility: Maintain your existing workflow by integrating current extensions and settings from Visual Studio Code into Cursor.
