I have updated to version 0.46 and tried to use Ctrl + n to move the cursor down in the chat field, but it creates a new chat as well. (All the prompt text disappears.) I’m really having trouble with this behavior. Can you please fix it so that I can use Ctrl + n to move the cursor downwards?
Japanese users have created the following article for a first-aid solution.
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.
we’re moving away from cmd+n in 0.46, so hopefully should be resolved!
Thanks for your effort !!
I am now on version 0.46.8 macOS arm64.
The issue is mitigated but still problematic.
Now, Ctrl+N does not start a new chat. Instead, it clears all text in the chat dialog. Fortunately, cmd+Z can retrieve the cleared input.
In Agent mode or edit mode, Ctrl+d still does not work. it closes the chat interface, but the wished behavior is to delete one character at the blinking cursor.
Anyhow, I wish this could be completely fixed in future and thank you very much.
Can you cursor engineers review your key bindings map in windows and macOS separately ?
Isn’t there any engineer in Cursor company using emacs-like shortcut when coding ? That is rather not efficient !!!
This shortcut behavior is tooooooooooooooooooooooooo frustrating for more than 2 months already.
This looks ridiculous for a macOS user.
If your engineer don’t understand macOS and still don’t want to learn, please make a change!
If your boss don’t want macOS users’ satisafaction, we will leave absolutely!
Finally, it looks like this issue has been resolved in Cursor 0.47! In my environment, by adding the following configuration, pressing CTRL+N no longer triggers composer.createNew!
the Ctrl+N still defaults to create new composer in 0.47, add this config in > ~/Library/Application\ Support/Cursor/User/keybindings.json
finally works:
0.47 seems a temporary solution of the keyboard shortcut problem, since I can’t have ctrl-n for cursorDown and cmd-n for createNew at the same time!
After all, this solution solved a big problem by involving a small problem.
Are there any plans on fixing this? It’s a very annoying bug. I’ve also noticed something like this happening in other places in the app, I think cmd/ctrl are used interchangeably for cursor shortcuts instead of being platform specific.
I’d like to add my voice that this is an extremely annoying problem! With considerable help from perplexity, I found the above work-around and it works for me. But that’s after lots of frustration – my fingers have known ctrl-n as down for 30 years. And now I’ll miss cmd-n for new chat.
Cursor is usually so great about quick upgrades. Why has this one received hardly any attention?
