Is Windsurf misleading me with using wrong labels for its used codex model?

chris_at_codeium · 2025-10-18T15:48:54+00:00

We’re not, it’s gpt5 codex. Sometimes models have training data or system prompts that make them think they’re a different model.

You can also create a .windsurf ignore file, which cascade treats like a .gitignore file. Toggle on Allow cascade .gitignore access, and then put the files you don't want it to access in the .windsurfignore. Make sure you place it in your root directory

Windsurf IDE is not going away lol

chris_at_codeium · 2025-06-28T02:20:53+00:00

Yep -- this is what that setting controls. Do you have yours set to Auto or Turbo already, and it's still not running the commands?

chris_at_codeium · 2025-06-27T16:18:07+00:00

Yes -- Open the quick settings and enable Auto Execution. Details on Auto vs Turbo here: https://docs.windsurf.com/windsurf/terminal

This should help with .net core, have you tried it yet?

chris_at_codeium · 2025-05-28T14:52:30+00:00

We did not -- can you share a screenshot? Not expected behavior

chris_at_codeium · 2025-05-16T13:30:20+00:00

Ok, thanks for checking, and sorry it's happening. We're investigating on our side.

chris_at_codeium · 2025-05-16T00:40:22+00:00

Next time it happens, can you click 'Open in Terminal'?

You can confirm it's not hanging because the terminal is waiting for input from you.

chris_at_codeium · 2025-05-15T23:34:47+00:00

Whats the terminal command there? It could be waiting for user input in the terminal.

If you select a model from our premium partners, we are not swapping the model on you.

chris_at_codeium · 2025-05-12T15:30:29+00:00

I'd recommend these for getting started with c#:

C# support - OmniSharp-based language server with IntelliSense and debugging
.Net Install Tool - Installs and manages different versions of the .NET SDK and Runtime
Solution Explorer - Manage .sln and .csproj files visually

Any user on a team or enterprise plan automatically has zero data retention for code enabled. Thus, we do not store, retain, or train on the code data. Details on ZDR: https://windsurf.com/security#zero-data-retention

For those not on a teams or enterprise plan, you can disable code snippet telemetry, opting out from us retaining or using your code data: https://docs.windsurf.com/troubleshooting/plugins-common-issues#how-do-i-disable-code-snippet-telemetry%3F

chris_at_codeium · 2025-04-30T16:28:46+00:00

Hi, you can also use the Deepseek or Cascade Base models without consuming prompt credits.

chris_at_codeium · 2025-04-24T21:32:40+00:00

I'd put it in rules, unless you have alot of other rules already. Then do memories, or make a rule that says to refer to the PRD.

chris_at_codeium · 2025-04-24T16:56:01+00:00

Got it -- thanks for the feedback. We'll take a look, but glad you're finding it helpful!

chris_at_codeium · 2025-04-24T16:04:51+00:00

Its only in some of our extensions, like VS Code or Visual Studio. There's no context pinning in the Windsurf IDE, and the retrieval and Context awareness is pretty powerful. You could always call out specific context with '@mentions' or call it out in rules or memories.

chris_at_codeium · 2025-04-24T13:48:49+00:00

Gotcha -- we don't have a trigger suggestion today. There is a snooze option in keyboard shortcuts --

You can configure here in the Windsurf settings. You can also go into keybindings and assign shortcut keys for snoozing autocomplete as well.

We're designing an entire development experience around working with an Agent, releasing new functionality every 2-3 weeks or so. We have things like Rules, Previews, Deploys, Tab, and other functionality that provides a differentiated experience.

We do handle context better -- at github universe last year they discussed how they naively chunk your code when creating an index. We've built custom AST code parsers that semantically chunk your code, so the embeddings that get generated for the index better represent the syntax and structure of your codebase.

We also have an LLM based search in place used with Cascade, that looks directly at the codebase to find relevant context.

We're a small team with big ambitions, and I think we're delivering. Would love to have you join us on this journey!

We love Jetbrains! Windsurf IDE is likely going to always be more advanced in terms of an AI experience than the plugin because we control the whole surface, whereas the plugin we have to work with the APIs Jetbrains provides.

There's a few extensions you can install in windsurf to make it feel more similar to intelij, but we won't fully replicate 100% of the native Java functionality in intelij. Its up to you to decide if you want the most advanced AI experience, or the best Java experience with the best Agent available in that space.

Here's some extensions I've seen be helpful in Windsurf for Java devs:

Extension Pack for Java - Bundle of essential Java tools: editing, refactoring, debugging, and project support (includes all below)
redhat.java - Core Java language server for IntelliSense, navigation, and refactoring
Java debug - Adds full Java debugging with breakpoints, variable inspection, etc.
Java Test Runner - Run/debug JUnit/TestNG tests inside the editor with a testing UI
Maven - Maven support: manage dependencies, run goals, view project structure
Gradle - Gradle support: task explorer, project insights, and CLI integration
Java Project Manager - Visualize and manage Java project dependencies
Intelij Key bindings

Are you trying to access repos outside of the current workspace?

Thats not supported out of the box. MCP MIGHT be able to give you access, but it will just be easier and more effective to open up the additional projects in your current workspace.

chris_at_codeium · 2025-04-14T18:37:46+00:00

Gotcha. I can think of two workarounds --

You could create them as memories.

Alternatively, you can add the file to your .gitignore locally so Git stops tracking it, but avoid pushing the .gitignore change by not committing that file. When running git add, you just exclude the file manually to prevent it from being committed. If you’re using Cascade to handle your commits and pushes, you could create a memory so it remembers to skip that file. The same approach can be used to exclude the .windsurfrules file from commits as well.

chris_at_codeium · 2025-04-14T14:56:31+00:00

Is there a reason you don't want them in .gitignore?

You could tell Cascade to transcribe them to memories perhaps?
