@ button broken in new release, HELP!

[jasondainter]

Describe the Bug

I regrettably just upgraded to the latest version of cursor (“2.0”) and the @ button has totally broken in the chat window, I press option @ on my mac and it just doesn’t show an @ symbol.

This has totally stopped me being able to code/reference files, highly annoying.

Ive tried a reboot, no joy.^

Pasting the @ symbol into the chat works but doesnt show any reference option.

Please help!

Steps to Reproduce

Macbook pro (swedish keyboard). Had no issues before update. Now option 2 (to create the @ symbol) does not type an @ into the chat and I cnanot reference files)

Expected Behavior

The @ symbol to work!

Thanks for reporting! This is a known issue affecting non-English keyboard layouts in Cursor 2.0 - the team is already working on a fix.

A user has shared a workaround here: Context referencing (@) is broken on non-English keyboard layouts in 2.0

Let me know if this helps!
