When you are in the AI Chat editor many Keyboard shortcuts do not work anymore.
The most annoying one is ‘cmd + b’ that I use to toggle on/off the primary side bar for gaining horizontal space on a small notebook screen does not work when I’m reading long AI responses.
Also it would be nice that ‘cmd + l’ (that’s lower L) that’s used to toggle on/off the AI Chat editor worked to toggle it off, it only works to make it visible + focusing on the chat editor but not for removing it.
I understand that this is related to be focused on the AI Chat editor but does not seems logic to me that this is not considered to avoid using the mouse/trackpad just for this actions.
I’d like to follow up on this. Using ctrl+l to close the chat works for me. But I’d like to leave the chat open and switch focus to the editor. Normally I’d do this with ctrl+1. But this does not work when I’m in the chat window.
Well right now it’s working fine when pressing CTRL+L or CMD+L, it shows and hide the chat panel
HOWEVER when pressing CMD+L to hide the panel is doing something weird, it only hides the panel when the prompt text is empty so now at the first CMD+L it will clear the prompt (not cool because you loose whatever you type there) and at the second attempt it will indeed hide the chat panel.
I’m experiencing a similar issue with the latest version I’m using,
I’m on macOS, and normally, Ctrl + A moves the cursor to the beginning of the line everywhere else, but it doesn’t work in chat. This is really frustrating because I hardly use a mouse.
By the way, on macOS, Cmd + A is the correct shortcut for selecting all.
Speaking of MacOS, I’m constantly tripped into sending half-finished messages to the AI chat by typing option-return (which should insert a newline without submitting). Cursor accepts shift-return, but it’s hard to remember to use in this one place. Any chance that could be adjusted?
