Maximilian: So, Cursor is a quite powerful tool.
It's worth noting that it has its own set of settings,
which you can tweak to your liking.
You can access them from the "main menu,"
"Cursor settings," "Cursor settings."
And just as with GitHub Copilot and all these AI tools,
those settings will change over time.
You can tweak things like appearance here,
but you can also control which features are available
or will be used by Cursor.
And again, those will change over time.
There is one specific feature I want to highlight though,
and that's the "auto-run mode,"
which was previously, in earlier versions,
also called YOLO mode, for "you only live once."
This mode, if enabled, allows Cursor in Agent mode
to automatically execute commands it wants to execute.
So it will not ask you first
as it will by default with this disabled.
With this enabled, as you also see in this disclaimer here,
Cursor will auto-execute commands
and therefore of course it could potentially
execute bad commands and erase your hard drive
or delete important files, which are then gone forever.
You can control that certain commands like the remove
command are denied so that you still have some control
even in this auto run mode.
So this is a mode you might want to enable to move
even faster because with it enabled, you won't have to check
and confirm all the commands it wants to run.
But of course you should be aware of the risks associated
with this mode, which is why I am typically not using it.
It is nonetheless a mode worth knowing
and a mode you might want to explore for your projects.
