New Chat UX, Default-On Composer, New Cursor Tab Model

  • We have a new chat UX! Excited for you to try it out and share your thoughts.
  • Composer is now default-on and available to all Pro/Business users by hitting cmd+I. We've added Composer Projects (beta), which allows you to share instructions among several composers.
  • We've also trained a new Cursor Tab model that's smarter and more context-aware.
  • Auto imports (beta) for Cursor Tab for TypeScript files — when Tab suggests an unimported symbol, we'll now auto-import it to your current file. You can enable it in Settings > Features > Cursor Tab!

UPDATE (0.40.1–0.40.4): Fixes a bug with apply on remote ssh, a few chat bugs, speeds up Cursor Tab for Europe/Asia users, fixes some outstanding Cursor Tab bugs and notifications hiding the chat input, and includes a fix for Cursor asking for permissions for files in your ~/Library folder on MacOS (upstream issue: microsoft/vscode#208105)

Faster Cursor Tab, More Composer improvements

  • Cursor Tab (previously called Copilot++) defaults to chunked streaming. This build also includes several Cursor Tab speedups. More to come in future builds!
  • Concurrent composers support, composer control panel, and various bug fixes such as accepted files being deleted.
A screenshot of Visual Studio Code displays a TypeScript file named "cppActions.ts", located in the "vscode > src > vs > workbench > contrib > aiCpp > electron-sandbox" directory. The code defines a class "AcceptCppSuggestionAction" that extends "Action2", with a constructor setting a menu configuration. Below the class, the "registerAction2" function is called to register "AcceptCppSuggestionAction". A helper function "getGhostTextControllerFromAccessor" is defined, which retrieves a controller using an editor service. Syntax highlighting is active, and the editor is in a dark theme. A greyed-out message saying "⌘L to chat, ⌘K to generate" appears between lines of code.
Faster Cursor Tab Suggestions!

UPDATE (0.39.1–0.39.6): Fixes several Cursor Tab rendering bugs, a bug where the file explorer was not responsive, and a bug where Cursor Tab would hang.

Copilot++ Chunked Streaming (beta), Composer improvements

  • Copilot++ now has chunked streaming (currently in Beta)! It will surface edits faster in smaller chunks. To enable it, click the settings gear and enable "Chunked Streaming" under Features > Copilot++.
  • We've also added a file picker, arrow key navigation, and a model toggle to Composer. This release also patches a few outstanding Composer bugs.
  • VS Code 1.91.1: Cursor is now based on VS Code 1.91.1.
  • New Default Model: We've made Claude 3.5 Sonnet the default model for users.

UPDATE (0.38.1): Fixes a bug where OpenAI API Key users would be migrated to Claude 3.5 Sonnet
