Hey, try the shortcut `Cmd/Ctrl + L` to add selected code to the existing chat. ---

I have tried many and as well as change from shortcuts in settings but the problem still happen in 0.46 versions. But When I am using older versions every thing is ok and working great. ---

It seems you’ve changed the keyboard shortcut to something else. `Cmd + L` should work by default for this. ---

The problem still exist which make it hard for me to every time right click then add selection on this way. why shortcuts doesn’t works? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/optimized/3X/f/2/f2dedaa17a9a2190e0eeb0fa5f3ef8844706bb30_2_690x48.png) You can see the image for confirmation. ---

Now I found the problem when the shortcut for newChat works as inserting of selection into existing chat and opposite. ---

the new chat shortcut is a mess if you change the shortcut it will not work every new version of cursor will mess your shortcuts for new chat if you customize it it’s terrible to pay for that ---
