Terminal keyboard navigation is broken

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Same issue. Terminal pane navigation within a tab is broken for me as well.

It does work if I create multiple panes and multiple tabs. If I don’t create multiple panes, then it breaks again. I can record a video if this is helpful. I’m on the latest version of Cursor.

Steps to Reproduce

Open up cursor, attempt to use cmd+shift+[, etc to navigate

Operating System

MacOS

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hey, thanks for the report. Could you share a short screen recording of the issue?

What’s your exact terminal configuration when it breaks? For example:

  • Single terminal tab with split panes
  • Single pane in a single tab
  • Multiple terminal tabs
  • Any specific shell or profile

This will help us determine whether it’s a bug or something specific to your setup.
