Take the Ctrl+,
shortcut to open settings as an example.
If my cursor or focus is anywhere in VS Code/Cursor (including a text-editor or input), Ctrl+,
will open the Settings editor.
The only exception is the Composer input box. Other shortcuts to also get swallowed in the input making it somewhat annoying to jump somewhere else without using your mouse.
It’s a small annoyance, but something I run into very often.
