No shortcut for chat

Bug Reports
1

Hi,

I’m a new user of Cursor, and I’m struggling to open the chat using shortcuts. I’ve tried multiple different shortcuts, even the most improbable ones, to ensure there are no conflicts with other shortcuts on my computer or within Cursor that might be overriding my setup.

My customs shortcuts:

[
    {
        "key": "tab",
        "command": "-acceptSelectedSuggestion",
        "when": "suggestWidgetVisible && textInputFocus"
    },
    {
        "key": "shift+tab",
        "command": "-acceptAlternativeSelectedSuggestion",
        "when": "suggestWidgetVisible && textInputFocus"
    },
    {
        "key": "tab",
        "command": "selectNextSuggestion",
        "when": "suggestWidgetMultipleSuggestions && suggestWidgetVisible && textInputFocus"
    },
    {
        "key": "ctrl+n",
        "command": "-selectNextSuggestion",
        "when": "suggestWidgetMultipleSuggestions && suggestWidgetVisible && textInputFocus"
    },
    {
        "key": "shift+tab",
        "command": "selectPrevSuggestion",
        "when": "suggestWidgetMultipleSuggestions && suggestWidgetVisible && textInputFocus"
    },
    {
        "key": "ctrl+p",
        "command": "-selectPrevSuggestion",
        "when": "suggestWidgetMultipleSuggestions && suggestWidgetVisible && textInputFocus"
    },
    {
        "key": "cmd+h",
        "command": "workbench.action.navigateLeft"
    },
    {
        "key": "cmd+l",
        "command": "workbench.action.navigateRight"
    },
    {
        "key": "cmd+k",
        "command": "workbench.action.navigateUp"
    },
    {
        "key": "cmd+j",
        "command": "workbench.action.navigateDown"
    },
    {
        "key": "cmd+f7",
        "command": "aipopup.action.modal.generate",
        "when": "editorFocus && !composerBarIsVisible"
    },
    // {
    //     "key": "cmd+k",
    //     "command": "-aipopup.action.modal.generate",
    //     "when": "editorFocus && !composerBarIsVisible"
    // },
    {
        "key": "cmd+f6",
        "command": "aichat.focuschatpaneaction",
        "when": "editorFocus && !composerBarIsVisible"
    },
    {
        "key": "shift+cmd+f6",
        "command": "composer.createNewChat",
        "when": "focusedView == 'workbench.panel.aichat.view'"
    },
    {
        "key": "cmd+n",
        "command": "-composer.createNewChat",
        "when": "focusedView == 'workbench.panel.aichat.view'"
    },
    {
        "key": "shift+cmd+k",
        "command": "-aipopup.action.modal.generate",
        "when": "editorFocus && !composerBarIsVisible"
    }
]

I also added to my setting.json file this "workbench.activityBar.orientation": "vertical", because it fix my issue, I found the solution here: "Unknown part workbench.parts.activitybar" when moving to the sidebar! · Issue #1570 · getcursor/cursor · GitHub .
I use vim motions.

My operating system is: Mac os 15.3 (24D60)
Cursor version : 0.45.8

I plan to request my company to cover my Cursor subscription, but without this crucial feature, I may have to stop using Cursor. I’d appreciate any help in resolving this issue.

Thanks in advance!

Hey, I found these settings in your keybindings, and the problem might be related to this. The chat is opened using the shortcut Cmd + L.

  {
    "key": "cmd+l",
    "command": "workbench.action.navigateRight"
  }

Hey, do you think even with my chat keybinding is like that, it will causing the issue ?

 {
        "key": "cmd+f7",
        "command": "aipopup.action.modal.generate",
        "when": "editorFocus && !composerBarIsVisible"
    },

Try these rules and change them to the shortcuts you need.

  {
    "key": "alt+cmd+o",
    "command": "aichat.newchataction"
  },
  {
    "key": "cmd+l",
    "command": "-aichat.newchataction"
  },
  {
    "key": "alt+cmd+i",
    "command": "aichat.insertselectionintochat"
  },
  {
    "key": "shift+cmd+l",
    "command": "-aichat.insertselectionintochat"
  },
  {
    "key": "alt+cmd+u",
    "command": "aipopup.action.modal.generate",
    "when": "editorFocus && !composerBarIsVisible"
  },
  {
    "key": "cmd+k",
    "command": "-aipopup.action.modal.generate",
    "when": "editorFocus && !composerBarIsVisible"
  }

It solves my issue, thank you! I will ask my company to pay for the subscriptions.
What was the issue ?

You likely accidentally deleted the chat shortcut.
