Cursor rewards detailed prompts. Typing them breaks flow; dictation keeps your eyes on the diff while you narrate intent.
Prompt shape
Dictate constraints first ('preserve public API'), then examples, then edge cases. Cleanup removes 'um' clusters so the model sees crisp instructions.
Shortcuts
On macOS and Windows, hold your dictation shortcut, speak, paste into the chat or inline edit field.
Security
Do not dictate production secrets. Treat voice like clipboard: if you wouldn't paste it, don't speak it.
