VS Code and Cursor Integration

PastePrompt keeps context assembly separate from editing, while still letting users jump from a selected file back into their preferred editor or Finder.

Why it matters

  • Context review often reveals a file that needs deeper manual inspection.
  • Auditors may assemble context in PastePrompt and then inspect references or edit notes in a code editor.
  • Editor handoff reduces navigation friction without turning PastePrompt into an IDE.

How it works

  • Select or preview a file in PastePrompt.
  • Open the file in VS Code or Cursor when the editor integration is available.
  • Reveal files in Finder when a filesystem handoff is more useful than opening an editor.
  • Keep source editing and Git operations in the tools built for those jobs.

Example workflow

  1. Search for a source file in PastePrompt.
  2. Preview it and decide whether it belongs in the bundle.
  3. Open the selected file in VS Code or Cursor for deeper inspection.
  4. Return to PastePrompt to update the context selection and export bundle.

Example UI description

  • Selected file: src/auth/session.ts
  • Actions: Open in VS Code, Open in Cursor, Reveal in Finder
  • Result: file opens in the chosen local tool; generated context remains controlled in PastePrompt

Limitations

  • Editor handoff depends on the selected editor being installed and available on the Mac.
  • PastePrompt does not manage editor extensions or editor-side AI behavior.
  • Opening a file in an editor does not change whether that file is included in a context bundle.
