Cut and Paste with Jupyter Notebooks

Bug Reports
1

Describe the Bug

When I cut and paste from anywhere in Cursor while have a Jupyter notebook open I create a new cell in the open Jupyter Notebook. I can’t cut and paste from terminal, from other files, or from the notebook into chat.

Steps to Reproduce

Open an ipnyb file. Use cut and paste and click in chat. Try to paste into chat. A new cell is created.

You can cut and paste from within or between jupyter notebooks, but not outside of the notebook.

Expected Behavior

Can cut from a notebook and paste in a chat.

Whats more frustrating in my situtation, the cell in the notebook I had previously selected gets pasted with the same code cell every time, and I cannot undo that neither with CMD+Z nor with Edit → Undo.

Hey, thanks for the report. We’ll investigate it.

I actually saved and restarted and it went away. But thought you should still know about it.

Yes, the same error

same error for me: anything i paste gets pasted into the .ipynb. and if i copy a jupyter cell, that doesn’t get overwritten by copying something else.

the only workaround is to not have the .ipynb file tab active, then you can paste into the chat/agent.

Hey, as a temporary workaround, try using Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + V to paste into the chat.

I am experiencing this issue too. It doesn’t always happen, but once I start getting this problem, it doesn’t go away until I reload the editor. It’s pretty annoying. I’m on Windows so it’s not a macOS-only problem.
