Can't type # as option-3 changes tab

Bug Reports

Describe the Bug

On my UK MacBook keyboard, I type # with option-3. There’s no shift-X shortcut for # in this country.

In Cursor Version 0.43.6, typing option-3 opens a random file or jumps to an open tab.

In fact, option-1 to option-5 all seem to be following some logic to open files or changes tabs, but I can’t see what the rules are. And I can’t find it in the keyboard shortcuts settings page.

Steps to Reproduce

type option and 3

Expected Behavior

Expect to type a # character

Operating System

MacOS

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hey, it looks like you have an overridden shortcut. You can find your shortcut settings here:

Don’t think it’s that, here’s my keyboard shortcuts:

// Place your key bindings in this file to override the defaults
[
    {
        "key": "shift+cmd+w",
        "command": "-workbench.action.closeWindow"
    },
    {
        "key": "shift+cmd+v",
        "command": "extension.paste-and-indent",
        "when": "editorTextFocus && !editorReadonly"
    }
]
