Beyond Simple Autocomplete

Cursor Tab (formerly Copilot++) is not just line-by-line autocomplete. It's a predictive engine that understands your editing patterns and predicts entire blocks of changes — including multi-line insertions, deletions, and even cursor position movements.

How It Works

  • Context-Aware: Tab analyzes your recent edits, open files, and project structure to predict what you'll type next.
  • Diff Prediction: Instead of suggesting just the next line, it can predict entire refactoring patterns across a function.
  • Cursor Movement: It even predicts where your cursor should move after accepting a suggestion.

Accepting Suggestions

ActionKeyEffect
Accept full suggestionTabApplies the entire predicted change
Partial acceptCtrl+→Accept word-by-word for finer control
RejectEscDismiss the suggestion entirely
Power Move: Partial accept (Ctrl+→) is extremely useful when the AI gets the structure right but you want to tweak variable names or values as you go.
