CTRL + A doesn’t work in Composer

Ctrl + A to select all text in the chat text field doesn’t work in the Composer. It seems to occasionally work after opening it – but rarely. This is a frustrating issue, and I hope it can be fixed. Ctrl + A works fine in Chat – but not the Composer.

To reproduce, open Chat with Ctrl + L and switch to the Composer tab. Then, type some text into the chat text field and press Ctrl + A.

Additionally, when opening Composer as Editor and moving it out of the VSCode window to make it a new window, which is useful when using multiple monitors, Ctrl + Delete stops working as expected, instead just moving the text cursor, and typing often stops working too.

Versions

Cursor: 0.45.7 (VSCode 1.92.2)
Windows: 24H2 Home

Hey, thanks for the report. Ctrl + A doesn’t work when there’s an empty line at the end of the text, this will be fixed. As for the composer in a new window, it doesn’t work smoothly yet. I hope this will be improved in the future.
