Toggle terminal shortcut doesn't work on cursor 2.0

[orangeMangoDimz (Dimas Dani Zaini)]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I cannot toggle the terminal properly; for example, I have a full terminal height in my editor. But I cannot toggle the terminal again using the same shortcut (should be Ctrl+`)

This happens on my Windows and Linux machines

Steps to Reproduce

I’m just using the default keybind to toogle terminal (ctrl+`), I’m not changing anything
So here’s the flow

First I toggle the terminal view using (ctrl+`)
Second, I use the shortcut to maximize the terminal panel height with this keybind:

	{
		"key": "ctrl+shift+f",
		"command": "workbench.action.toggleMaximizedPanel",
		"when": "terminalFocus"
	}

Then, when I want to toggle the terminal again with (ctrl+`), it doesn’t work. This happens on cursor 2.0. It works on the previous version

Expected Behavior

The behavior works as expected, as the previous version

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Same issue here.

It only happens when the sidebar is closed and the terminal is maximized.

Same issue, toggle terminal stopped working after Cursor 2.0 update (I’m on macOS). It focuses the terminal when it’s inactive, but does not close it while terminal is focused.
