Detailed description is provided in the Discussion channel:
Steps to Reproduce
Set “terminal.integrated.defaultLocation”: “editor” and open a new terminal. Once opened in editor area, try any workbench command like Ctrl + P or Ctrl + Tab or Ctrl + K. All these commands are sent to terminal instead of to the workbench.
Expected Behavior
Keyboard shortcuts that are meant for the workbench must not be sent to terminal.
Operating System
Windows 10/11
Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)
Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue the team is already working on.
This bug was introduced in v1.6 and affects all modifier-key shortcuts when the terminal is opened in the editor area via “Create New Terminal in Editor Area.” Your issue with Ctrl+P, Ctrl+Tab, and Ctrl+K has the same root cause as the related threads.
Workaround: instead of using “Create New Terminal in Editor Area,” open a regular terminal and drag it into the editor area. Keyboard shortcuts should then work without requiring a reload.
The team is working on a fix. I’ll link your report to the ongoing investigation.
