    Tips & Tricks

    • Use Cmd+K (Ctrl+K) for inline edits — describe what you want changed in the selected code
    • Press Tab to accept AI suggestions, Escape to dismiss — build muscle memory
    • Reference files with @filename in Composer to give the AI full context
    • Use .cursorrules to define your project's coding standards for consistent suggestions
    • Start Composer sessions with a clear goal — 'Add user authentication with JWT' not 'improve the code'
