Customizing Keybindings

Via UI

  1. Cmd+K Cmd+S
    to open Keyboard Shortcuts editor
  2. Search for the command (e.g., "accept cursor tab")
  3. Click the pencil icon next to the keybinding
  4. Press your desired key combination
  5. If conflict detected, choose to override or cancel

Via JSON

Open

keybindings.json
:
Cmd+Shift+P

Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON)

[
  {
    "key": "cmd+enter",
    "command": "editor.action.inlineSuggest.commit",
    "when": "inlineSuggestionVisible"
  },
  {
    "key": "ctrl+shift+k",
    "command": "aichat.newchat",
    "when": "editorFocus"
  },
  {
    "key": "cmd+k cmd+a",
    "command": "editor.action.selectAll",
    "when": "editorTextFocus && !editorReadonly"
  }
]

Vim Mode Compatibility

If using the Vim extension with Cursor:

// keybindings.json -- resolve Vim conflicts
[
  {
    "key": "ctrl+l",
    "command": "aichat.focus",
    "when": "!vim.active || vim.mode == 'Normal'"
  },
  {
    "key": "ctrl+k",
    "command": "cursor.edit",
    "when": "editorTextFocus && !vim.active"
  }
]

Common Vim conflicts:

  • Ctrl+K
    conflicts with Vim's digraph mode
  • Ctrl+L
    conflicts with Vim's clear/redraw
  • Ctrl+I
    conflicts with Vim's jump forward

Solution: Remap Cursor AI shortcuts to avoid Vim's control sequences, or use

when
clauses to scope by Vim mode.

Enterprise Considerations

  • Keybinding policies: Teams can share a
    keybindings.json
    in the project repo (
    .vscode/keybindings.json
    )
  • Accessibility: Cursor supports screen readers and keyboard-only navigation via standard VS Code accessibility features
  • Corporate keyboards: International keyboard layouts may require different mappings for Cmd+K/L/I
