AICHE +Cursor Integration
Voice commands for Cursor
Command Cursor with your voice. Dictate requirements, get code implementations.
The short answer: open Cursor IDE, press Cmd+L to open the chat panel, press ⌃+⌥+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+R (Windows/Linux), speak your coding requirements for 30-50 seconds, and AICHE inserts the formatted prompt for Cursor to process.
Typing detailed prompts about multi-file changes takes 7-10 minutes and interrupts your mental model of the codebase architecture.
- Open Cursor IDE and load your project.
- Press Cmd+L (Mac) or Ctrl+L (Windows/Linux) to open the chat panel.
- Press your AICHE hotkey to start recording.
- Speak your complete requirement with context (example: "refactor the payment form to add debouncing, disable the submit button during processing, and show a loading spinner").
- Press the hotkey again-AICHE transcribes, applies Message Ready formatting, and inserts the text.
- Press Enter to send the prompt to Cursor.
Heads-up: for quick inline edits in a single file, use Cmd+K instead of Cmd+L, then dictate. Cmd+K works for focused changes, while Cmd+L handles multi-file operations.
The pro-tip: include file context in your dictation by saying "in the checkout flow" or "in the auth middleware" so Cursor knows exactly where to apply changes without you typing file paths.
Result: complex refactoring prompts that took 9 minutes to type with proper context now take 45 seconds to speak, and Cursor applies changes across multiple files automatically.
Do this now: open Cursor, press Cmd+L and your hotkey, then dictate one refactoring task you've been avoiding because explaining it felt tedious.
