Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Also, would like to note if i start cursor with cursor --disable-extensionsthe problem still persists.

Hey, thanks for the report. Is it possible that you accidentally reassigned an action to this shortcut in Cursor? Try checking the keybindings settings.

ah, yes you are correct, forgot I added this footgun when doing a large PR review… :man_facepalming:

{
“key”: “shift+=”,
“command”: “git.stage”,
“when”: “!operationInProgress”
},

Sorry for wasting your time, but i appreciate the rubber duck!
