Additional Information

Please stop changing your short cuts for these different user flows and UI views. Its throwing me off so much in my day to day. At this point I’m about to stop updating Cursor, since everyday update my old keyboard shortcuts get removed.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey there!

Thank you for the report, and I apologize for the inconvenience.

We’re discussing a related regression in this thread:

Specifically, we’re investigating the issue with clicking on old chats not working.

In the meantime, you can access your old chats by switching to Agent mode (instead of Editor) and opening the sidebar.
