Overview

Cursor is a cutting-edge, AI-first code editor engineered to dramatically boost developer productivity. It represents a fundamental shift in software development, moving beyond simple autocompletion to offer a deeply integrated AI assistant that understands the full context of your project. With features like natural language code editing, codebase-wide Q&A, and AI-powered refactoring, Cursor allows developers to build software faster and with greater accuracy. For a seamless transition, it allows a one-click import of all your existing VS Code extensions, themes, and keybindings, making it both powerful and instantly familiar. Version 2.1 introduces an interactive Plan mode, in‑editor AI code review, Instant Grep (beta), project hooks, agent Git ops for commit & push, improved diffs, and updated VS Code API integration.
