In this lecture, I will show you where you can find the most important windsurf settings, and you
can easily access them directly from the IDE.
It's just a bit hidden.
I would have preferred a more intuitive way of finding them.
But anyway, if you click here on windsurf settings right at the bottom, you're going to get two types
of settings.
First of all, settings that apply to cascade AI agent.
So for example, we have here the terminal order execution which is currently set to auto or this preview
window that we have seen earlier.
And also you can access for example, memories and rules.
I'm going to go here to manage.
And for example inside here we're going to find memories.
And this is a memory about this particular project.
So this is just a few keywords a few information about the project.
So that when windsurfer is working on it, it knows exactly what this is all about.
And of course you can also edit this memory content.
Actually, I have expected this to be a bit more advanced, but yeah, it's probably just explains the
most important features and the most important technologies that are being used, and probably this
is generally sufficient.
Apart from this, there are also other settings that you can access.
So we're going to have here also windsurf tab.
Now windsurf tab is something that we haven't discussed.
Just want to briefly explain what it is.
This is essentially the autocomplete.
So before we had all these AI agents writing code for us, one of the first AI features that have been
added to Ides were autocomplete features.
For example, if I'm writing here a variable which I'm going to name, add numbers, and we're going
to see here that we're getting here autocomplete.
So I can simply press on tab.
And then windsurf is going to autocomplete this code for me.
Or if I'm typing code it's going to suggest code for me using the AI.
So this is what all these autocomplete features are all about.
Honestly with the introduction of these agents I think these are being used less and less.
But anyway, they are here.
So this you know, in case you see this autocomplete when you're making some changes to a file manually,
this is from where it's coming from and it is called windsurf tab.
Apart from this, we're going to also have here the advanced settings.
So these are pretty much all the settings that are related to Windsurfing General.
Honestly I don't need to be here so often.
But just in case you're looking for a specific setting, they're also here this search bar here.
So we can search for a setting like font or whatever else you want to change.
And you should easily find it here, but it's not really something that you need to use all the time.
Apart from this, this is where you can configure windsurf.
Overall, what I do notice is that there's nothing on models, so there's nothing where you can really
configure the models that are being used.
We cannot bring our own models.
We just need to use whatever is available here.
And that's the only way to configure this.
So we only have some available models if we compare this for example with cursor.
Cursor allows a bit more flexibility in that direction.
But that's about it in terms of these settings.
