Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, it looks like this is a known issue where Cmd + K doesn’t work in the terminal opened as an editor. If you open the terminal via the command palette with “Create New Terminal in Editor Area,” it won’t work (the team is already working on a fix). However, if you drag the terminal into the editor area, it should work.
