Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

It works fine for me and I have almost the same setup

Left Shift doesn’t work but right shift does. Do you happen to know what that’s about?

Hey, thanks for the report. This is unusual and seems more like a keyboard layout or system-level issue rather than a general Cursor bug.

Please check the following:

• Test Left Shift in other contexts: does Left Shift work with other shortcuts in Cursor?
• Check for keyboard remapping software: do you have any key remapping tools, gaming software, or accessibility tools running that might intercept Left Shift?
• Test in VSCode: if you have standard VSCode installed, does Left Shift + Enter work there in a similar context?
• Windows settings: open Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard - are Filter Keys, Sticky Keys, or Toggle Keys enabled?

This will help us identify whether it’s a system configuration issue or something specific to Cursor. Let me know what you find.

I’m an idiot. I found this long forgotten PowerToys key remap. Sorry guys! False alarm!
I removed the remap and everything works fine.
