Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hey, this is a known issue. It’s been fixed a few times, but it looks like it’s back again in 2.6.13.

Quick workaround: kill the broken terminal and open a new one. Not ideal, but it works.

A couple questions to better understand what’s going on:

  • Did the arrow keys and the Home key break in the same terminal where copy doesn’t work, or in all terminals?
  • Do you have any terminal-related extensions enabled, like terminal extensions or shell integrations?
  • Does it happen after sleep and wake, or after the terminal has been running for a long time?

I’ve passed this to the team and they’re tracking it. Let me know if any of the above helps narrow down the cause.
