Finally uncovered a solution for MacOS users here:
First you need to install Karabiner Elements
Then enable events modification for your current keyboard:
Then add a complex modification rule by clicking this button:
Paste the following rule in the text area and click save:
{
"description": "Map Ctrl+N to Down Arrow in Cursor",
"manipulators": [
{
"conditions": [
{
"bundle_identifiers": [
"^com\\.todesktop\\.230313mzl4w4u92$"
],
"type": "frontmost_application_if"
}
],
"from": {
"key_code": "n",
"modifiers": {
"mandatory": ["left_control"],
"optional": ["any"]
}
},
"to": [{ "key_code": "down_arrow" }],
"type": "basic"
}
]
}
You should see this new rule added and you are ready to go. From now on, Ctrl + N will be remapped to arrow down key in Cursor but remains the same in other applications.
