Does this stop you from using Cursor

Hey, you can set any shortcut for any mode.

@deanrie I see you’ve marked your answer as the solution.

It’s not.

Can you please mark it back to not having a solution?

I already had the modes set when I reported this bug (see below).

So setting the modes is not a solution.

The issue is that ctrl + L sets agent mode AND STARTS A NEW CHAT.

It shouldn’t start a new chat.

ctrl + i works correctly.

It only sets ask mode. It doesn’t start a new chat.

This is quite strange, this shortcut should just open the chat panel. Please check if these shortcuts have been overridden.

@deanrie as I said in the last post, can you please mark it not solved?

I don’t want a new chat, which is what you have in your screenshot.

Below are my keyboard shortcuts.

I see from your screenshot you’re on MacOS.

Could you try to replicate from a Windows machine please?
