Hey, this is a known bug with Ctrl+K Quick Edit and we’re already tracking it. Based on past reports, the trigger is usually split editor panes or a detached window. After you change focus in the Lexical editor, the cursor stops moving forward and each new character gets stuck on the left. The layout itself usually isn’t the cause, but ABNT2 might have happened at the same time as this state.
Workaround for now: Ctrl+Shift+P → Developer: Reload Window. After the reload, typing in Ctrl+K should work normally until the same state happens again.
A couple questions so I can file a more precise report:
- Are you using split panes in the editor or a detached window (for example, chat or the editor in a separate window) when this happens?
- If you open Cursor with a single pane, no splits, and no detached windows, can you still reproduce it?
If it reproduces only with ABNT2 and without splits or detached windows, that would be a useful separate data point. I can’t share an ETA for a fix yet, but I’ll attach your report to the existing issue.
