Intro to Tab

Windsurf Tab bundles several passive AI coding features like Autocomplete, Tab to Import, and Tab to Jump into a single, convenient keystroke, enhancing your coding speed and efficiency.

Core Feature: Autocomplete

• • How it Works: As you type, Windsurf Tab offers relevant code completions (often shown in grey text).
• • Accepting Completions:
  • • Press Tab to accept the entire suggested completion.
  • • Press Cmd+Right Arrow (Mac) or Ctrl+Right Arrow (Windows/Linux) to accept one word at a time.
• • Cycling Options: Use Option+] (Mac) or Alt+] (Windows/Linux) to cycle through different completion suggestions if available.
• • Modifying Existing Code: Autocomplete also works within existing lines of code, suggesting modifications both before and after your cursor.

Smart Features:

• • Tab to Import:
  • • If you reference a class, function, or variable that hasn't been imported yet, Windsurf Tab detects this.
  • • It will offer to automatically add the required import statement, often indicated by a "Tab to Import" prompt.
• • Tab to Jump:
  • • This feature helps you navigate your code more efficiently.
  • • Windsurf Tab anticipates your next logical editing position (e.g., the next argument in a function call, the body of a loop) and allows you to "teleport" your cursor directly to it with a Tab press.

Customization:

• • Windsurf Tab features are customizable. You can tweak the settings for each feature (Autocomplete, Tab to Import, Tab to Jump) directly within your editor's Windsurf settings to match your preferences.

Windsurf Tab aims to reduce repetitive typing and streamline your coding workflow.
