[turns out didnt help: ]
I may have just found a possible solution (having no idea how it was changed in the first place, maybe some accident or extension thing)
so i paste the theoretical solution here,
maybe its interesting for someone else
Also, in the project folder, there might be a .vscode folder with a settings.json file. Please check it. And if you have a .gitignore file, check if you’ve added any exclusions to it.
I never had this problem with VSCode, so I’m guessing there is a special version of the vim extension for Cursor that annoyingly overrides this. I’ve dealt with this issue for what seems like years and finally decided to search again.
It seems there was an older issue where this was likely solved, but it was somehow removed from the face of the earth. Hopefully that doesn’t happen with this thread.
The old one was:
Ctrl + P stopped working - General
Cursor - Community Forum

28 Nov 2024 — Suddenly the Ctrl + P command to open files is not working any more. I use it constantly… Ctrl + Shift + P for example still works.
