How do I change the keyboard shortcuts that Cursor uses?

We hope to build better UI for this in the future. For now,

  1. Type Command/Ctrl + Shift + P.
  2. Go to “preferences: open keyboard shortcuts”
  3. Edit the aipopup.action.modal.generate action to remap the inline edits / generation keybinding
  4. Edit the aichat.newchataction action to remap the new chat command

For future passersby, to fully remove Cursor’s cmd+K mappings, you also need to update cursorai.action.generateInTerminal

Hi! How can I change ai chat send message key? It’s “Enter” now, but I want it to be “Shift+Enter” and use “Enter” to insert a new line.

Is there any way to directly access the data / json that vscode / cursor use for the key mappings instead of having to do this manually? It would also make it easy to put things back if it gets messed up.

It’s utter madness that such an important keymapping was overwritten.

+1. I am wasting so many chat requests by mistakenly hitting Enter to create a new line…

You can edit default keybindings.json -

You can also specify overrides for yourself -

VS doesn’t have a chat window. How can we change the keyboard shortcut to submit a message in Cursor’s chat window?

There is one thing left that I haven’t figured out yet, the prompts in cursor itself still mention Ctrl-K instead of the now correct Ctrl-Q

Thank you, you are a lifesaver! I was about to give up.

For those of us coming from vscode, Ctrl-K (Command-K) remapping is a complete killer. I kept bringing up chat trying to comment lines, split a window vertically, close a pane, etc… I was about to uninstall cursor before I read this thread and redefined the keymappings. Strongly recommend you allow the definitions to be nicely redefined by the installer (especially when you are migrating from vscode)

What the, why did you overwrite CMD+K this is insane.

14

For folks looking to just have Ctrl+l work in their terminal as usual (clear terminal), you can add the following to your Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON) settings:

{
        "key": "ctrl+l",
        "command": "aichat.newchataction",
        "when": "!terminalFocus"
    },
    {
        "key": "ctrl+l",
        "command": "-aichat.newchataction"
    }
15

After every cursor’s update my shortcut settings get reset.
For me the main one is “CMD + SHIFT + K”. In vscode it removes the line while in cursor it open composer as bar. I just delete the cursor’s keybinding but after update it always comes back

As mentionned here, Cursor change all chored keyboard shortcuts of VS Code from Command/Ctrl+K to Command/Ctrl+M, because they use it for Cursor.

Instead of adding new keyboard shortcuts as @GeeWhizBang did, I directly overrode every keybindinds:

  1. All AI-related shortcuts use I instead of K
    E.g., Ctrl+I to open Inline Chat (see 1st section of keybindinds.json below)
  2. All chorded keyboard shortcuts use again Ctrl+K instead of Ctrl+M, aligning with the default shortcuts used in VS Code. (see 1st section of keybindinds.json below)

Sorry if I miss some bindings :person_gesturing_ok: but here’s my keybindings.json with all overrides:
EDIT 1: remove Ctrl+Y override, clashing with basic Redo shortcuts (cf. post below)

@truell20, why did your team overridden the basic Redo shortcut Ctrl+Y?

image675×255 19.6 KB

I would be interested why was the main reason behind this? Is it because ppl would use more Ctrl+Shift+Y instead of Ctrl+Y, so it’s fine? :thinking: I don’t understand why, if you want to convert VS Code users..?

For those who want their Ctrl+Y back, just unbound it:

{
  {
    "key": "ctrl+y",
    "command": "-aichat.newfollowupaction"
  }
}

now they overrode save-As for some stupid ■■■■. how do i find and kill all their shortcuts? debugger show this:

workbench.action.backgroundComposer.toggleSidebar

but i can’t see that in the Cursor > User > keybindings.json

f’n with muscle memory is a surefire way to ■■■■ everyone off.

Hey. Do you know what is the when clause context when the sidebar AI text chatbox is in focus? I’ve been trying to set a keybind and I need to exclude when it’s active but I’m unable to figure it out. If you have any clue, please add here. Thanks in advance!
