What is Tab?
Cursor's AI autocomplete that suggests the next lines of code as you type, based on recent edits and surrounding context. You accept a suggestion by pressing Tab.

Cursor's Tab suggests code...
Write it in your own words in the app.
In real work
Tab will predict the rest. Type the function signature and press Tab to accept the full body.
In the illustration
A function signature is set in solid type; a pale ghost line of the body slides in ahead of it, the TAB key drops and the ghost slugs turn solid in place.
Use tab in your coding agent to finish the switch statement over the OrderStatus enum, and accept only the cases that match the existing naming.
