Nope. It allows the CLI to read and parse your files. It absolutely does not give you Cursor-like interactivity.

If I’m wrong I’d be overjoyed! But I have it installed and have seen no hint of this.

It doesn't give you a Cursor-like experience but it gives Claude Code the LSP info, which means it will make less mistakes, especially with TypeScript

I started a new project to test out CC and constantly find I have to ask it to fix ts errors…it’s nice I don’t have to tell it what error it is (ie “fix the ts errors in file.tsx”) but I’m surprised it doesn’t have a “check ts” step automatically (i even added something to CLAUDE.md, which seems to work sometimes, but not always). It’s especially bad when working with recently updated libraries. It keeps suggesting thing that don’t exist anymore even though ts clearly knows it’s wrong.

Otherwise CC has been stellar and I live it’s a CLI + optional vs code extension.

I’ve used Cursor a good deal and also CC. The CC JetBrain extension replaces my code in the IDE, shows me a preview ans allows me to confirm, decline, etc. Am I missing something super specific about Cursor’s behavior? It doesn’t seem that practically different to me.
