Common frustrations

When ctrl + space doesn’t trigger suggestions in Cursor

It’s because of default macOS settings hijacking the shortcut. Go to System Settings → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts and Input Sources. Uncheck the boxes.

When Cursor opens .svg files as images rather than code

Open Command Palette and choose "View: Reopen Editor with Text Editor"

CSS IntelliSense won’t work in Cursor

CSS files should be interpreted as "tailwindcss" instead of CSS. Source. This made suggestions work, docs also work, and custom at-rules are also supported. It may require the PostCSS plugin.

settings.json

{
  "tailwindCSS.experimental.configFile": "src/app/globals.css",
  "files.associations": {
    "*.css": "tailwindcss"
  }
}

Deploying Vercel apps to domains registered at Zenbox

It’s a mistake to create subdomains via Zenbox. Instead, simply add a CNAME record to your apex domain. You don’t need to add Vercel’s nameserver (NS) records.

Things that are actually useful:

• How to create a project from another project
• Let's be honest, we do that
• What you need to do every time
  • Remove unnecessary files and dependencies
  • Flatten commits to initial commit
  • Decouple from remote, plug new remote
  • Don't copy cache files and garbage
