# Cursor > AI-first code editor designed for pair programming, multi-file edits, and intelligent codebase chat. - **Official Website**: cursor.com - **Category**: [Development Tools](../README.md#development-tools) - **Type**: AI Code Editor - **Pricing / License**: Freemium --- ## Overview Cursor is an AI-first code editor built as an enhanced fork of Visual Studio Code. It provides natural language editing, multi-line tab completions that predict your next edits, and a powerful multi-file editing canvas called Composer. Because it is built on VS Code, Cursor supports your existing extensions, themes, and keybindings out of the box while embedding state-of-the-art AI assistance directly into every keystroke. --- ## Key Highlights & Features - **Composer (`Ctrl/Cmd+I`)**: Multi-file agent that generates, creates, and edits multiple HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files in parallel. - **Next-Action Tab Completion**: Predicts multi-line code additions, function completions, and CSS rules as you type. - **Codebase Indexing**: Indexes your entire repository locally so AI chat answers reflect your exact HTML markup and styles. - **VS Code Extension Compatibility**: Full access to the VS Code extension marketplace, settings sync, and themes. --- ## How It Works with Static Websites 1. Open a static website folder in Cursor. 2. Press `Cmd+K` (or `Ctrl+K`) inside any HTML or CSS file to make targeted inline modifications. 3. Open **Composer** (`Cmd+I`) to build an entire new feature across multiple files: ```text "Add a sticky navbar with smooth scrolling to sections and a mobile hamburger menu toggle" ``` 4. Review the visual diffs across `index.html`, `style.css`, and `main.js`, then click **Accept All**. --- ## When to Use It - Developers wanting an AI-first code editor that feels familiar to VS Code. - Scaffolding components that touch multiple static files simultaneously. - Rapidly iterating on styling and interactive JavaScript with AI completions.
