Users can now quickly move the cursor by pressing the Tab key, with autocomplete and super autocomplete suggestions available at all times. While free users have unlimited access to autocomplete suggestions, paid users unlock unlimited tab navigation suggestions, along with access to the more powerful Turbo Mode for an ultra-optimized experience.

Aimed at improving productivity, Turbo Mode allows the Cascade system to automatically execute terminal commands, minimizing the time spent on routine tasks. This feature boosts overall efficiency by enabling users to focus more on complex and high-level tasks without getting bogged down by manual processes.
4. Drag-and-Drop Image Input
In response to user requests, Wave3 introduces a drag-and-drop functionality for image input, simplifying the process of uploading images into your projects. This feature enhances the usability of the Windsurf Editor and is particularly beneficial for tasks like website building, where seamless image integration is crucial.
5. Customizable Application Icons for Paid Users
Exafunction rewards paid users with the ability to customize application icons in the Dock. This feature adds a personal touch, allowing users to personalize their workspace and enjoy a more visually appealing experience.
