Tab autocomplete & inline edits

🎯Goal. Use the two lightweight tools that never touch your agent quota — Tab completions and inline edits — for fast, surgical changes.

1. 1As you type, Windsurf suggests the next lines of code. Press Tab to accept. These completions are unlimited on every plan, including Free, and never count against your agent quota.
2. 2For a small change to a specific block, select the code and make an inline edit — describe the tweak right where the code is, without opening a full Cascade task. Inline edits are also unlimited on Free.
3. 3Reach for Tab and inline edits for the small, local stuff (rename a variable, tweak a loop, add a docstring) and save Cascade tasks for the multi-file, multi-step work.

✓You'll see. Code completing as you type with a Tab press, and quick selected-block edits applied in place — none of it spending your agent quota.

💳Cost. Both Tab completions and inline edits are unlimited and free on every plan, so this is the cheapest way to make small changes.

💡Takeaway. Not every change needs the agent: Tab completions and inline edits are unlimited and free — use them for the small stuff and reserve Cascade for whole tasks.
