Minor but significant (to me) when using cmd/ctrl+L

Just noticed this as of the most recent build - I was ready to tolerate it, but found that it’s actually annoying enough to warrant this post, after attempting to just live with it for a while. So, I wanted to ask - assuming this was intentional - could we get an option to start a new chat when using this key combo, or to continue the current chat, e.g., add the code selected to the current chat, rather than start a new chat when selecting text and using [ctrl] / [cmd] + L ? Currently this creates an entirely new chat, which I find highly undesirable virtually always.

I also noticed that pasting code from a Cursor window no longer carries its context, meaning it gets inserted plainly into the chat as if it were typed normally, rather than the previous behavior which would link it, more akin to if it had been properly inserted between backticks, sort of like it would be if formatted as a Markdown code block.

Great job with all the updates in general though :slight_smile:

Hey, try using the shortcut to insert selected text into the current chat: Ctrl + Shift + Y or Cmd + Y.

Hah, thanks! I don’t know if this is a recent change or not, but either way that is indeed what I was looking for. Problem solved.

I agree that ctrl+l wiping the chat is not a good shortcut design, especially since it is inconsistent with ctrl+b - left panel/explorer and ctrl+j - terminal/bottom panel. These shortcuts toggle between opening and closing panels, that ctrl+l switches between opening and wiping the contents of that panel is not consistent UI design and I believe should be changed.
