How to use backspace key to edit/delete?

Hello,

First of all thanks very much for your hard work guys, it looks to be a fantastic cool to help me getting better at Python coding.

Yet, I’m struggling with how to simply delete lines, or use backspace. All I can use is highlighting and use “Chat” or “Edit” mode, which is very frustrating when I know exactly what I need to do.

Sorry if I missed something there, thanks very much !

Could you elaborate? Your backspace key is not working at all in the editor?

Sure Jakob, thanks for answering me!

Well, it’s moving from symbol/letter to symbol/letter, but it’s not deleting my code as I expect it to do.

I recorded a short video for you to understand better: Loom | Free Screen & Video Recording Software | Loom

Thanks once again,
Sasha

Same here. Backspace in Cursor behaves just like the left arrow and does not delete anymore.

It can be that you configured your editor to use Vim keybindings rather than VScode. try CRTL+V and select the lines with up and down errors and press dd. If that works, you are using vim bindings.
