Like VS Code, many of Cursor's features are accessed through commands in the command palette. You can press F1 to bring up the command palette. For example, if you can't remember how to bring up the composer panel, you can simply type "composer" in the command palette. It will show you options, and you can click the appropriate one to bring up the composer again. Commands also show keyboard shortcuts on the right, which you can memorize for faster access in the future.

1. At the top of the chat panel, there are three tabs: Chat, Composer, and Bug Finder. We'll primarily use the Composer tab. Be careful not to switch to the Chat tab, which uses the old interaction experience.

In the bottom left corner of the chat panel, you can specify which AI model you want to use. Currently, Cursor supports several AI models including Claude, GPT-4o, and o3-mini. We generally recommend using Claude as it performs best in various scenarios, but feel free to experiment with other models.
