When attempting to paste text while renaming a directory in the File Explorer, it results in a new file being created under the directory with the content of what I pasted instead of the text being pasted into the directory name.
This is very annoying and started right after I updated to the latest cursor today.

Today’s update (2.2.9) came with yet another common keyboard shortcut override. I can no longer paste into a file name in the file explorer. Now using cmd+V will create a new untitled file – which makes no sense at all. I just downloaded a fresh copy of VSCode and it doesn’t have this quirk.
The reason I want to paste is that, in React, unit test files usually live next to the file they’re testing and share the same base name, with the extension .test.tsx. So I’ll copy the base name of the file I’m going to write tests for, create a new file, and paste the base name into the filename field and add the test.tsx extension. Now I cannot do this.
Even worse, this time I cannot even find this behavior in the shortcut settings to turn off. I have no idea how to disable this.
I’m feeling really frustrated by this. Every time Cursor tells me there’s an update, I’m worried that my common (not custom) shortcuts will be overridden again. PLEASE STOP.
Steps to Reproduce
Copy some text: “BaseFilename”
Go to the File Explorer and create a new file
Make sure the new file’s name is editable
Type cmd+v to paste the text from your clipboard
The new file disappears, and an “untitled” file has been added
Expected Behavior
The text in the clipboard should be added to the file name field
Cursor should not override existing common keyboard shortcuts.
The frequency with which the cursor clobbers standard keystrokes is making it unpleasant to use and scary to upgrade.

cannot rename the file / name new file with paste. the content will be paste into a new untitle file as content but not changing the file name. Manual typing works.
Steps to Reproduce
create a new file, copy a “file-name”, paste to the editable name field
