Does this stop you from using Cursor

I am facing the same issue. very annoying when trying to review curosr’s agent changes

Bumping and hoping this finally gets some attention. I have had the same issue sporadically over the last few version. Totally stumped when I have tried debugging it and ultimately a hard reset of cursor is the only cure for me. I dump a lot of the shortcut logging and there is nothing that jumps out as wrong.

Hey, thanks for the report. Cmd+F is being intercepted by the internal keybinding planEditor.actions.find, which stays active even after you close Plan Mode.

Two options:

Quick fix: Cmd+Shift+P > “Developer: Reload Window” when the shortcut stops working.

Permanent workaround: disable the problematic keybinding:

  1. Cmd+Shift+P > “Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts”
  2. Find planEditor.actions.find
  3. Right-click > Remove Keybinding

More details in this thread where the issue was debugged in depth: Find keyboard shortcut broken

I’ve passed it to the team for tracking. Let me know if the workaround helped.
