Hey, thanks for the report and the screenshot. I can see the Models settings section with the OpenAI API Key field.

This is a known issue in 3.15.x. The API Key and Override Base URL fields don’t get focus when you click them. It’s fixed in 3.15.20, so please update Cursor via Help \> Check for Updates, or reinstall the latest build, and the fields should work again.

If you can’t update yet, here’s a workaround. Click next to the field and press `Tab` to move focus into the input, then type or paste the value as usual.

Let me know if the issue still happens after updating.
