Cursor FAQ
What is the difference between Cursor and VS Code?
Answer
Cursor is a fork of VS Code — it looks and feels identical, supports the same extensions, themes, and keybindings, but adds deep AI integration. The key differences: Cursor has a built-in AI chat panel, inline code generation (Cmd+K), multi-file editing with AI context, and automatic codebase indexing. VS Code requires separate extensions (like Copilot) for AI features.
