Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Hello community, I have noticed that keyboard shortcut cmd + c stops working after installing git lens extension. Does anyone know how to solve this problem with the cmd + c command? I am not able to copy my code lines

Steps to Reproduce

First you need to install git lens extension, after that restart the IDE and then the cmd + c command stops working as normal

Expected Behavior

cmd + c command should still work to copy any line of code or text.

Operating System

MacOS

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Version: 1.7.38 (Universal)

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Thanks for the detailed report! GitLens is likely creating keybinding conflicts with cmd+c.

First, can you clarify: where is your cursor focus when cmd+c stops working? (e.g., in the editor, GitLens sidebar, terminal, chat, etc.)

To check for conflicts:

  1. Open Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P) → search “Keyboard Shortcuts”

  2. Search for “cmd+c” in the shortcuts panel

  3. Look for any GitLens entries that might be overriding the default Copy command

GitLens often adds multiple cmd+c keybindings for its views (like focusedView == 'gitlens.views...') which can interfere with normal copy. You may need to remove or disable those GitLens keybindings.

Let me know what you find and where the focus is when it fails!
