Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor CLI

Describe the Bug

Description:
When using Cursor CLI, pressing the Delete key does not perform the expected action.
Instead of deleting the character ahead of the cursor, it behaves the same as Backspace (deleting the character behind the cursor).

Actual Behavior:
The Delete key removes the character behind the cursor, identical to Backspace.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Cursor CLI.
  2. Place the cursor in the middle of a line of text.
  3. Press the Delete key.

Expected Behavior

The Delete key should remove the character in front of the cursor, consistent with standard terminal/editor behavior.

Operating System

Linux

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

$ cursor-agent -v
