Cursor

Who is Cursor good for?

• Developers who want a fast AI workflow — Cmd+K to edit, Cmd+L to chat in-file
• People already comfortable with VS Code — switch in 5 minutes, every VS Code extension still works

Standout features

Tab autocomplete

Press Tab → Cursor predicts the next 5–15 lines of code based on project context. Astonishingly accurate once it’s familiar with your codebase.

Cmd+K (Edit)

Highlight code, type “add error handling” → AI edits inline.

Composer / Agent mode

“Refactor the auth module from JWT to sessions” → Cursor reads multiple files, edits them, and asks for confirmation before applying.

.cursorrules

A config file that customizes AI behavior for your project (output language, code conventions, etc.).

Using it from Vietnam

• Download cursor.com normally
• Pay with an international Visa/Mastercard
• UI and docs are English only — but the AI handles Vietnamese well if you comment/prompt in Vietnamese
