Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I came across this previously reported issue regarding the keyboard shortcut for deleting a line on macOS:

While I appreciate that a workaround was suggested at the time, it seems that quite a bit of time has passed since the original report in 2024. I was wondering if there are any plans to address this issue directly, rather than relying on the workaround.

This shortcut is fairly fundamental for everyday editing, so having it work as expected would significantly improve the user experience.

Thank you for your time and for all the work on the product!

Steps to Reproduce

Try deleting a line in the editor using Cmd + Shift + K.

Operating System

MacOS

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue. Cursor adds its own keybinding on Cmd+Shift+K, which overrides the default Delete Line.

For now, the workaround from the previous thread still applies:

  1. Open Keyboard Shortcuts
  2. Find Delete Line
  3. Remove the first shortcut in the list that points to Cursor, not the default one

I get that you want this to work out of the box. We don’t have an ETA yet, but your report helps us prioritize it.
