CMD-Z is intercepted using Cursor Browser

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I’m implementing Cmd-Z functionality using react-hotkeys and Cmd-z wasn’t registering. Took me a bit but figured out that it appears Cursor intercepts Cmd-Z using Cursor Browser. This doesn’t happen when using a normal browser with the shortcut registered.

Steps to Reproduce

See above

Operating System

MacOS

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Version: 2.2.36 (Universal)
VSCode Version: 1.105.1

OS: Darwin arm64 24.6.0

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

In app browser doesn't receive Command Z

Hey, thanks for the report.

This is a known issue - Cursor Browser intercepts some system keyboard shortcuts, including Cmd+Z. The team is already working on fixing keyboard shortcuts in Browser focus.

A temporary workaround is to test keyboard shortcuts in a regular browser outside of Cursor Browser until the issue is fixed.
