I can’t consistently replicate this, but it happens to me frequently. Closing and re-opening cursor does not help.

I realize that this is simultaneously the command for addign error into AI chat _and_ toggle explorer. But even when I"m not hovering over a problem it seems that the command is being over taken.

Anyone else noticing this?
