In the Cursor AI Panel, after updating to the new UI, the shortcut for @ on the Czech keyboard (⌥2) doesn’t work, nor does the one for ` (⌥1) – basically nothing where I need to use the ⌥ + something shortcut. It completely ignores these shortcuts and I have to click with the mouse on the shortcuts in the bottom right corner of the input – for example, on the @ icon.
Steps to Reproduce
Open Cursor AI with the new UI update
Set system keyboard to Czech (QWERTY) layout
Open the AI Panel/Chat input field
Try to use the keyboard shortcut ⌥2 to insert @ symbol or ⌥1 to insert ` symbol
Observe that nothing happens when using these Option/Alt-based shortcuts

After updating to Cursor 2.0, I’ve been experiencing an issue with adding context in the chat using the @ keybind (Option + 2 on macOS). The shortcut works everywhere else in the IDE, but it no longer triggers or inputs the @ symbol inside the Cursor chat window.
Steps to Reproduce
1. Open Cursor (version 2.0.22) on macOS.
2. Go to the Chat window.
3. Try to type @ using Option + 2 on a Swedish keyboard layout.
4. Notice that the @ symbol does not appear and no context menu opens.
5. Test the same keybind elsewhere in the IDE (e.g., editor or terminal) — it works normally there.
Expected Behavior
When pressing @ (Option + 2 on macOS) in the Cursor chat window, it should insert the “@” symbol or open the context menu for adding files, code, or messages, just like it does in the rest of the IDE.

I have this same issue, and I also have Swedish keyboard layout.
It’s impossible to type @ in the chat (in fact, all Option + Number characters are unwriteable).
This is very annoying bug. I’ve had to copy-paste @ into the chat. But now I fixed it by making a Keyboard Maestro macro that pastes @ instead of typing it. Please fix!
I cannot put any of the critical symbols like "{ ] } [ " etc in the text box anymore! I got the Cursor update, pressed “Update”, Cursor automatically reopened and can no longer press/create these vital symbols!
(Also, I used to love Cursor’s easily scrollable “thinking box” part. That seems to have disappeared. The scroll bar is gone and when I try to go up and down, the entire chat goes up and down, rather than just the thinking box part. This isn’t a bug exactly -though it might be- but I just wanted to complain haha). The vital symbols do prevent me from working though; I cannot write code or syntax in the chat box anymore!
Steps to Reproduce
Macbook M1 Air. Q Keyboard (Turkish). All the symbols that I’m typing here, (e.g. ][{ etc) do not work.
Expected Behavior
Should work like it did 5 minutes ago before I loaded the update.

Since 2.0 update, I cannot type “@” in the agent text area. I have an AZERTY keyboard, so the command for @ is “Option + 0” on a Mac.
I checked, it seems to be bound to some composer shortcut. The same applies to other keys of my keyboard, using “Option + [digit]”.
I know I can change the shortcut to something else, but I feel like this is a bug, like setting up new shortcuts without taking into account all keyboard layouts (AZERTY not being some obscure layout).
A chat without @ is pretty broken, since this is to add context.
Steps to Reproduce
Use an AZERTY layout on a Mac [Edit: it’s not the Mac keyboard, but an external, classical AZERTY keyboard. The Mac keyboard does not have these Option + digit keys, but all other normal keyboards do]
Open a new chat with Cursor
Try to type @, or [
Expected Behavior
I expect to not have “Option + [digit]” shortcuts set up that override normal keys.
