		sexyman48 on Oct 29, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How I write code using Cursor For me, the main draw is Cursor's repo-wide indexing (presumably a RAG pass). I asked Copilot to unify two functions, one at the top of a massive file, and the other at the bottom. Since they were so far apart, Copilot couldn't see both functions at the same time. Cursor didn't give me a great answer, but it did give an answer.

You can pass in @workspace before the prompt (in copilot chat) and it looks at the full context. It works OK, I could imaging Cursor being more powerful in this!
