What non-default shortcut do you use to open Cursor chats?

Discussions

I am going through hell right now, because I’ve always used CMD+L (or CTRL+L) for expandLineSelection (where it highlights the whole line)… and I can’t unlearn that habit, since I’ve been using it since like 2015.

There are so many Cursor / AI Chat related shortcuts, and I don’t know which ones to change. It definitely feels like I need to move away from the I to a different character, but it’s quite impossible because then it conflicts with another default shortcut.

Temporary Work Around

I added this in my ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/keybindings.json.

I don’t know how good it will work, but it forces me to only use CMD+SHIFT+L to open it… This is an okay compromise.

  { "key": "",                 "command": "aichat.newchataction" },
  { "key": "cmd+l",                 "command": "expandLineSelection" }
]
