Tutorial

Learn the fundamentals of Cursorless in your browser, using the same lessons and examples as the interactive tutorial in VS Code.

To follow along interactively, focus VS Code and say "cursorless tutorial".

1. Introduction​

Start Introduction - This tutorial will teach you the basics of Cursorless.

2. Basic coding​

Start Basic coding - This tutorial will teach you the basics of coding with Cursorless.

Use the interactive tutorial​

The VS Code sidebar includes an interactive version of these tutorials. Each step shows a command to say and usually advances automatically when you complete it. It uses your custom spoken forms and saves your progress so that you can continue where you left off.

Start a tutorial​

With VS Code focused, say "cursorless tutorial" to start or continue the Introduction tutorial.

To choose a tutorial, say "tutorial list", then click its name or say "tutorial <number>". For example, say "tutorial two" to start or continue Basic coding.

You can also say "bar cursorless" and choose a tutorial from the Tutorial section of the sidebar.

You can use the arrow buttons in the sidebar or these commands:

  • "tutorial next" - Move to the next step.
  • "tutorial previous" or "tutorial last" - Move to the previous step.
  • "tutorial restart" - Return to the first step of the current tutorial.
  • "tutorial list" or "tutorial close" - Return to the tutorial list.

The tutorial opens a practice document and expects it to match the current exercise. If you edit the document or move away from it, say "tutorial resume" to restore the current step and continue.
