Master Cursor AI's Tab completion, Agent mode, and context system. Learn keyboard shortcuts, rules files, and real coding workflows — course with certificate.

8 lessons

Certificate Included

You’ve probably watched someone use Cursor and thought: “They’re coding twice as fast as me.” They’re not smarter. They just know which features to use and when.

Cursor looks like VS Code — same layout, same extensions, same keyboard shortcuts. But underneath, it’s a fundamentally different tool. AI isn’t bolted on as a sidebar. It’s woven into every interaction: how you write code, navigate files, debug errors, and refactor entire projects.

The problem? Most people install Cursor, use it like a fancier autocomplete, and miss 80% of what it can do.

This course fixes that. In 8 lessons, you’ll learn the full Cursor workflow — from Tab completions to multi-agent background coding. Each lesson builds on the last, and by the end, you’ll have a repeatable system for using Cursor on real projects.

What You'll Learn

  • Explain how Cursor differs from VS Code and other AI coding tools
  • Use Tab completion, inline editing, and chat for daily coding tasks
  • Apply the @ symbol context system to give Cursor precise instructions
  • Execute multi-file changes with Agent mode, checkpoints, and Plan mode
  • Create project rules files that enforce coding standards automatically
  • Evaluate advanced features like Background Agents, BugBot, and MCP servers
