Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, if your system has a language other than English, when you switch between languages, Cursor might not recognize the shortcut. Apparently, it only works with the English layout.

Hi.

Oh yeah, really. You’re right.

I knew about this problem. I couldn’t comment a line of code with Ctrl + /. Didn’t know these two problems are the same.

Thank you.
