Hey, thanks for the report.

This looks like a keyboard shortcut conflict. A few questions to help us debug:

  1. Does restarting Cursor make Cmd+F work again?
  2. What extensions do you have installed? You can check in Settings > Extensions.
  3. Have you tried updating to version 2.3?

You can also try:

  • Temporarily disable all extensions and see if the issue still happens.
  • Check your keyboard shortcuts: Cmd+K then Cmd+S, search for “Find”, and make sure Cmd+F is mapped to editor.action.startFindReplaceAction.

Let me know what you find so we can dig into it further.
