Hey there,  
Those API Key / Base URL fields not accepting click or paste on 3.15.x isn’t intended.

Workaround: turn the toggle on, click nearby in Settings → Models, then press Tab until the field is focused - typing and `Ctrl+V` work after that.

Merging into the main thread: [[Regression] Models: OpenAI API Key / Base URL inputs not editable in 3.15.6](https://forum.cursor.com/t/regression-models-openai-api-key-base-url-inputs-not-editable-in-3-15-6-ok-in-3-14-27/167685). I’ll post updates there when there’s news.
