BUG -> Cursor overrides normal AZERTY keys with composer shortcuts

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Since 2.0 update, I cannot type “@” in the agent text area. I have an AZERTY keyboard, so the command for @ is “Option + 0” on a Mac.

I checked, it seems to be bound to some composer shortcut. The same applies to other keys of my keyboard, using “Option + [digit]”.

I know I can change the shortcut to something else, but I feel like this is a bug, like setting up new shortcuts without taking into account all keyboard layouts (AZERTY not being some obscure layout).

A chat without @ is pretty broken, since this is to add context.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Use an AZERTY layout on a Mac [Edit: it’s not the Mac keyboard, but an external, classical AZERTY keyboard. The Mac keyboard does not have these Option + digit keys, but all other normal keyboards do]
  2. Open a new chat with Cursor
  3. Try to type @, or [

Expected Behavior

I expect to not have “Option + [digit]” shortcuts set up that override normal keys.
