Learn how to use Adobe Firefly to solve AI image and creative design problems: prompts, Generative Fill, credits, partner models and commercial-use checks.
Cursor is an AI-first code editor that started from the VS Code codebase. Its main idea is to keep the AI inside the editor with full project context, so you can move from question to multi-file change to test run without leaving one window. Last reviewed: September 2026. Cursor updates rapidly; model lists, limits and pricing below come from third-party coverage and should be checked in the app.
Use Tab completions for routine typing, an inline edit shortcut for local changes, Agent mode for multi-file tasks, and project rules to encode conventions. Give the agent small, well-specified tasks; review diffs; run tests; and use checkpoints and version control to undo mistakes.
| Feature | What it does | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Tab completion | Predicts multi-line edits as you type | Repetitive changes and boilerplate |
| Inline edit (Cmd/Ctrl+K) | Rewrites a selected block from a short instruction | Small, targeted refactors |
| Chat | Answers questions about your codebase | Understanding and planning |
| Agent mode | Plans, edits multiple files, runs commands and iterates on errors | Features, migrations, bug hunts |
| Codebase indexing | Builds a semantic index of your repo | Finding relevant code without pointing to it |
| Checkpoints | Automatic restore points before agent changes | Undoing a wrong direction |
| Background/cloud agents | Agents that work on a separate branch in an isolated environment | Parallel tasks, reported as introduced with Cursor 3 in April 2026 |
| MCP integrations | Connect external tools such as issue trackers or docs | Bringing ticket details into context |
Cursor lets you pick among several models, including its own, and has been reported to offer models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and others. Availability and naming change often.
Add rate limiting to the
/loginendpoint: max 5 attempts per IP per 15 minutes, returning HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Reuse the existing middleware pattern insrc/middleware. Add tests for the limit and reset. Don't modify other routes. Show me a plan first.
Cursor supports persistent rules that tell the AI about your stack, patterns and preferences (for example testing framework, style conventions, folders to avoid). Put stable conventions there instead of repeating them in every prompt, and keep them concise and specific.
Reviews report that Cursor moved from fixed request counts to usage-based credits on paid plans in mid-2025, and that heavy agent sessions, especially with premium models or expanded-context modes, can cost noticeably more than the base subscription. Monitor the usage dashboard, choose lighter models for simple tasks, and check current pricing before relying on any figure.
An AI-first code editor built on the VS Code codebase, with chat, multi-file editing, agent mode and completion.
A mode where Cursor plans, edits files, runs commands and iterates on errors, creating checkpoints you can revert.
Paid plans have used usage-based credits, so costs vary. Check current pricing and your usage dashboard.
Yes, but you still need to read, test and understand what it writes.
