Describe the Bug
When editing a long prompt, because of ingrained habits with using keyboard modifiers to quickly navigate text, I find it easy to accidentally lose my progress.
This is quite disruptive to flow.
Steps to Reproduce
Press ⌥⬆ in the main sidebar chat input field when the cursor is already on the top paragraph.
Expected Behavior
The edit cursor/caret stopping at the top of the input would be the most standard behavior I think.
If the feature to replace the input with previously entered text is supported, I would expect it to be symmetric, with a corresponding feature restoring more recently entered text when navigating “past the bottom” of the input.
I should never lose this input without an easy way to get it back.

Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
